Christian Conference Culture

We are clearly in the age of the Christian mega conference. Many of the national conferences host thousands of attenders each year. These events have grown to the point that they teeter on celebrity culture drawing from an all-star line up of famous preachers. During these events social media fills with pictures of average Christians posing with the favorite teacher/preacher/author. Exhibit halls fill with every sort of Christian vender under the sun. Shame on you if you wait to long to buy your ticket and miss out. I'm asking you to unplug from the culture for 30 minutes and hear me out, is this the way to do a conference? Is bigger better? Where does this lead us into the future?
