V074 | Christianity IS Transactional

[About The Episode] We constantly hear many Christian believers describe their faith and devotion as a relationship with God devoid of transactions. But I beg to differ. I think transactions are at the very foundation of every relationship, and "faith" isn't exempt. This episode discusses transactional Christianity and why people might not be attending church as much anymore in Nigeria.
