Expository or topical/therapeutic?

Seeker-sensitive topical preaching is Kerry Shook's signature style — felt-needs framing, not verse-by-verse.

WARNING!

Mission Clarity

Great Commission central?

'Taking the Christ experience to the world' — seeker-sensitive evangelism framing.

Caution

Cultural Alignment

DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?

Multi-campus megachurch culture; no overt DEI language on homepage.

Caution

Accountability Structure

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