10-Point Theological Scorecard

Christology

Is Jesus the only way? (John 14:6)

Orthodox Trinitarian framing consistent with Max Lucado's evangelical-ecumenical writing.

Strong

Scripture

Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?

Lucado affirms Scripture as authoritative; explicit inerrancy language not confirmed from available sources.

Caution

Men's Discipleship

Intentional formation for men?

Not stated on available sources — verify.

Caution

Soteriology

Faith alone? How is salvation presented?

Stone-Campbell / Churches-of-Christ heritage historically teaches baptismal regeneration — verify current position; Lucado's personal soteriology is generally evangelical.

Caution

Gender / Biblical Design

Biblical manhood and womanhood by God's design — patriarchal, complementarian, egalitarian, or affirming gender ideology?

Oak Hills explicitly moved from Churches of Christ complementarian practice toward egalitarianism ~2013 — women now serve in preaching and elder roles; confirmed via Texas Monthly reporting on denominational shift.

Verify — not yet assessed

WARNING!

Leadership Structure

Male elders/pastors? Accountability?

Travis Eades is Lead Minister; Max Lucado is Teaching Minister (since 1988). Plural leadership exists; mixed-gender elder board per previously-reported polity shift.

Caution

Preaching Style

Expository or topical/therapeutic?

Max Lucado's style is heavily narrative/topical/inspirational — not primarily expository.

WARNING!

Mission Clarity

Great Commission central?

Large congregation (~5,500 weekly); mission language present but generic.

Caution

Cultural Alignment

DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?

Not stated on available sources — verify on current website.

Caution

Accountability Structure

Denominational home, elder plurality, or external network — is the pastor answerable to anyone?

Non-denominational; Stone-Campbell/Churches of Christ heritage shed for broader evangelical identity; no confessional accountability.

WARNING!

Assessment

Not yet assessed. Default yellow pending on-site visit and detailed review.
