Title: Religion vs. Relationship – Rediscovering the Authority of God’s Word

In this passionate and prophetic episode, Pastor Ben Cooper delivers a message that shakes the foundations of modern Christianity and calls us back to what truly matters: the authority of God’s Word. It’s not about religious tradition, routine attendance, or man-made systems—it’s about relationship, obedience, and the living truth of Scripture.

Drawing from powerful passages in Deuteronomy, Proverbs, and Joshua, Pastor Ben urges believers to evaluate the roots of their faith. “Be careful to follow every command I give you today, so that you may live and increase” (Deuteronomy 8:1). These words are more than ancient instructions—they’re a call to action for today’s church. Are we building on the Word of God or the expectations of religious culture?

Pastor Ben boldly confronts the spiritual famine plaguing many believers. With clarity and compassion, he exposes the hollowness of performance-driven religion: “Religion is plastic and fake.” It looks polished on the outside but cracks under pressure. In contrast, a life rooted in Scripture is resilient, real, and rooted in divine power.

This episode explores how many churches today prioritize systems over Scripture. The result? Shallow faith and spiritual burnout. But there is hope. Pastor Ben challenges listeners to grab their Bibles, reconnect with truth, and reclaim their identity as followers of Jesus—not just attendees of services.

One of the most moving moments in this episode is the global communion experience, where listeners across nations gather around the presence of God—not in buildings, but in spirit and in truth. “We are a church without walls,” Pastor Ben declares, reminding us that the true Church is built on the unshakable Word of God.

Whether you’re disillusioned by religion, hungry for truth, or longing for deeper connection, this episode is for you. Let go of the fake, the forced, and the formulaic. Return to the simplicity and power of the Gospel. Open your Bible, listen for God’s voice, and follow Jesus with everything you’ve got.

“Don’t go to church just for the sake of going to church,” Pastor Ben says. “Grab yourself a Bible.” The time has come for the Church to rise—not in ritual, but in truth.
