I've encountered many who feel disillusioned by "church" and tradition, and maybe in a way I've found myself feeling that way at times too. It is our own fault. Church and tradition and stuff was never to be the focus. Jesus said "if any would follow me they must deny themselves, pick up their cross daily and follow me". When we take our focus off of the Master and focus on His servants, of course we will get bitter and jaded. When the style we sing becomes the object of worship instead of the reason we sing, of course we'll get tired. I want to trust Him more. I want to move from "business as usual church" to life changing relationship. If you have been hurt by the church, I offer my humble, but maybe too late apology. Don't give up on the Maker of Heaven and Earth because some creation has given Him a bad name. Don't deny the Savior of the world because some misuse His name. Ask for grace to trust Him more.
