It is impossible for God's people to give up their holy man and holy place myths as long as they are devoting 75 - 85% of their "giving" to buy these "holy" things for themselves each weak. 99% of churches that have a pastor and a building MUST follow these percentages to make a preacher (or 20 staff members) and a building possible. Jesus gave us an axiom, a law that says where our hearts will be. "Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." This "Senior Pastor" needs to give up his title and his expectations that a crowd of people "need" to come hear him teach every week, and get a job. He needs to help God's people give up completely their addiction to crowd oriented, spectator focused gatherings. God never asked for this, so we don't need it. We only need small groups - one another life. They don't require or "consume" 75 - 85% of the giving to make them happen. They can happen for FREE! Then we will haven no holy man/holy place myth.
