Are you falling into the traps of a fake faith without even realizing it? In this episode of 2 Pastors Unplugged, host Rick Probst sits down with Dr. Jed Coppenger, pastor of First Baptist Church Cumming and author of Fake Christianity: 10 Traps of an Inauthentic Faith (and How to Avoid Them). Together, they unpack the subtle ways hypocrisy can creep into our lives—through things like prayerlessness, neglect of Scripture, bitterness, and gossip—and how Jesus calls us back to what’s real and authentic. With practical wisdom and a gospel-centered focus, Dr. Coppenger shares how to identify inauthentic faith and embrace true life in Christ. Don’t miss this eye-opening conversation that will challenge and encourage you to pursue the genuine faith God desires.
