As you read this article, ask yourself these questions. Why did Catherine go to Planetshakers - what motivated her? What would people come for if they came to your church - a rock concert, a fun time, Jesus? And, what worldview does she have - which should help you answer how she reached the conclusion that she came to - no Holy Spirit, but "just people".
