It's a subscription service where the church pays a flat monthly due based on church size. The church is then able to distribute access to the media across its membership at no extra cost.
So ABC churches are being offered a discount and all the area pastors had a Zoom call the other day with one of RightNow's sales reps. He showed us all the tens of thousands of videos in their library.
It's impressive.
The sales rep assured us that they have the highest standards for screening the content on their platform.
But what does he mean by that?
He said they feature only biblically sound teaching.
BUT as the biggest names flashed by, I noticed at least half of the featured teachers are Calvinists.
I understand the challenges involved in pulling together a diverse group of Bible teachers all under one roof - especially when one man's "biblically sound doctrine" is another man's heresy.
And I'm not saying that I could never find value in something being taught by a Calvinist teacher.
But they do have a particular theology and anthropology which tend to color their teaching even when it's not directly touching the "5 Points".
And I think that is something worth guarding against.
Maybe it would be helpful to have descriptions on each video in the RightNow library with theological biases listed.
