What People Ask When Picking a Church

Have the things that people have considered important when picking a church changed over time? 

This week Cameron and Luke discuss how the hot topics have shifted over the decades. Spurred by a post they saw online they wanted to use it as a leaping off point to discuss how church has changed and how the theological topics that people care about have changed.
