The Applause Trap

By Gregory A Thomas

Are we worshipping-or are we performing?

In an age when church sanctuaries often resemble concert halls and worship leaders walk the fine line between humility and celebrity, The Applause Trap: When Worship Becomes Entertainment offers a clarion call to return to worship's sacred center. With biblical depth, pastoral candor, and practical wisdom, Gregory A. Thomas examines the subtle shift from ministry to performance and offers hope-filled guidance for every worship leader, team, and church hungry for more than applause.

Discover how to:

Recognize the signs of performance-driven worshipReclaim authentic, Spirit-led encounters with GodBuild services that prioritize presence over productionProtect your heart and your team from burnout and prideInspire your congregation to become active worshippers, not passive spectators

Whether you're leading a megachurch or a small fellowship, this book will renew your vision for worship that transforms, convicts, and glorifies God alone. Don't settle for entertainment. Step into the presence.
