Just about every week of the year there's a Christian conference or lectureship going on somewhere.

As this style of event has steadily grown, it seems necessary to stop to ask a few questions about what the intended effects are, if they're being met, and if any negative side effects are presenting themselves. We discuss:

00:00 - Introduction and disclaimers
04:10 - The great blessings
15:33 - The cross-examination
28:16 - The keynote speaker vs. the local preacher
32:45 - Don't discount local fellowship and worship
42:06 - Is more preaching our biggest need?
51:53 - Think Fast: Why the Coldplay Couple went so viral
