Produktbeschreibung

Are we worshipping-or are we performing?

In an age when church sanctuaries often resemble concert halls and worship leaders walk the fine line between humility and celebrity, The Applause Trap: When Worship Becomes Entertainment offers a clarion call to return to worship's sacred center. With biblical depth, pastoral candor, and practical wisdom, Gregory A. Thomas examines the subtle shift from ministry to performance and offers hope-filled guidance for every worship leader, team, and church hungry for more than applause.

Discover how to:

• Recognize the signs of performance-driven worship
• Reclaim authentic, Spirit-led encounters with God
• Build services that prioritize presence over production
• Protect your heart and your team from burnout and pride
• Inspire your congregation to become active worshippers, not passive spectators

Whether you're leading a megachurch or a small fellowship, this book will renew your vision for worship that transforms, convicts, and glorifies God alone. Don't settle for entertainment. Step into the presence.

As a former executive pastor of one of America's largest churches and now a spiritual leader inside the Fremont Correctional Facility, Dr. Thomas continues to challenge the Church to return to its first loveauthentic, Spirit-led worship that exalts God rather than entertains man.

In The Applause Trap: When Worship Becomes Entertainment, Dr. Thomas confronts the subtle but dangerous shift from presence to performance, from ministry to showmanship. With deep biblical roots, personal experience, and bold honesty, he calls today's Church to reject the spotlight and reclaim the sacred.
