Chocolate milk: behavior modification versus transformation

Mike proposes a March-to-March test: a year of sermons should teach you who God is, what he has done, and the active work of the Holy Spirit — otherwise it just filled you with quipping knowledge. Ben coins the episode's sharpest line: this is not even gospel milk, it is chocolate milk — behavior modification with encouraging psychology replacing the old hand-slapping kind. Both agree: if the primary focus is making better people rather than gospel transformation, it is a disservice, however positive it feels.
