From Customers to Co-Workers
February 15, 2026
Fr. Jon Aamodt
"Are you just 'going' to church, or are you actually being The Church? Today, we’re breaking down the 'Pervasive Consumer Mentality' that treats faith like a gym membership and keeps us stuck in the bleachers as spectators. It’s time to move from the sidelines to the frontlines. Whether you feel like a 'runaway' or you’re just ready for a wake-up call, we’re exploring what it means to stop begging God to bless our plans and start joining His. Get ready to shift from a consummate consumer to a Kingdom Co-Worker. Let’s get to work."
Episode Notes
Notes: From Customer to Co-Worker
The Problem: PCM (Pervasive Consumer Mentality): Modern culture often frames faith as a service to be consumed, turning believers into spectators rather than active partners.
The Mission (Missio Dei): The church doesn’t just have a mission; the Mission of God has a Church to fulfill His work in the world.
The Shift: We must stop 'going to church' as a Sunday finish line and start seeing it as the 'starting blocks' for a 24/7 missional identity.The 'Mark' vs. 'Demas' Path:
- Demas: A dropout who deserted the mission because he loved the present world.
- Mark: A former runaway who was restored, became useful to the mission, and eventually wrote a Gospel.
