“You cannot wow people with the love of God if they have never been taught the fear of God. Grace is weak if it doesn’t have the backdrop of God’s holiness.” Excellent quote pastor Joel.
Amen my brothers in the Lord, your brother in Jesus Christ 🙏 🙌
These guys just hit with pin point accuracy the issues plaguing 97% of churches in America today. Every pastor should hear this, not that they would like it, they won’t, but they need to hear it regardless.
Yes, indeed.
Thanks for bringing these issues to light.
So good.
Great q&a, thank you
There is a difference between a church preaching what people want to hear and what people need to hear.
You really ought to clip that King David section as its own video--either that, or present it again in a more polished way.
I second this.
Joel I’d almost prefer you to be our champion. I don’t know of any other Christian leaders who seems to be as aware of our current state as you are. Who would you put your endorsement behind in today’s age? Also, I’d appreciate your opinion on Sean Feucht. Thank you for everything you do!
Very kind words brother. Not aware of Sean Feucht.
@@RightResponseMinistries He’s the leader of the “Let Us Worship” movement. He leads massive outdoor services in cities in America. He’s also making a documentary, “Superspreader”. Very interesting things he’s doing.
Here’s a link to his ad for his D.C. event coming up soon:

He unfortunately uses an MLK clip, but his heart is in the right place I think.
The comment about how many pastors are not in positions to speak to the culture prophetically……this could be because they have embraced seeker-driven or attractional models of the church which leaves them impotent to speak to the broader culture. They have been too busy trying to make the church more like the world. I think it was Jeff Durbin who said something like although we are called to be in the world and not of it, the mainstream evangelical church at large for the last 40-50 years has it exactly backwards: create a Christian ghetto in that building over there, staying in those four walls, and trying to make the church more and more like the surrounding culture so as to attract unbelievers in.
Exactly right. Well said.
no nuetrality
Just a thought, as an evangelical/charismatic minister who LOVES this podcast...why is it that reformed believers lump so much progressivism and postmodernism into the evangelical churches? If anything, it's not these evangelical churches that are going the way of the world, it's actually the denominations like episcopal, Lutheran, Methodists and presbyterians that are headed the way of the world. These are the churches that are pushing forward social gospels and acceptance/inclusion at MUCH higher rates than are evangelical churches....yet from listening to multiple "reformed" podcasts, these denominations are almost never mentioned...and I think this is an even greater detriment because while you are pushing people away from the charismatic churches, you may be pushing them right into these other churches who have literally painted their doors and steps with the colors of the rainbow.
In fact, most of the churches I mentioned above in my home town are all "inclusive." Maybe this is just an outlier, but seeing stuff on Christian UA-cam, I don't think it is. And even if you disagree with the evangelical churches and ministers, if you listen to their teaching and preaching, even the most extreme like Isaiah saldivar or Todd white, bill Johnson, they all preach hard against sin and plead for the church to be righteous and holy.
Much concern about culture and it was good to hear different opinions. But I feel that church needs another reformation of its theology and system. The biggest sin of the Reformed is that they have got rid of Sola Gratia. All other problems start from this. God's grace was already there with Adam even before he rebelled. We are from dust, God is the Creator of all. I think the Reformed have failed in explaining this. Grace comes before the Law. I see that Adam before the fall is almost worshiped in the Reformed theology.
When a church mishandles the Law, it produces many false believers. Causing guilt by the Law gives a false sense of salvation because people naturally seek forgiveness. Anyone can exponentially increase the number of church members if one uses the Law with persuasive words. The better speaker you are, the more people come into church. But are they really true believers? The current situation is that these false believers have gathered up within their churches to speak against God's words. Now saints have much smaller voice than them within their churches. Churches' role is to endure under persecution until Christ comes. God trains His people through persecutions. If we try to change a government, culture or whatever by our own hands to live a peaceful Christian life, we are making the same mistakes that the 17th century Reformers did. Pastor Mike mentioned of not reading the Bible. I cannot agree more.

“We need to be the party of nationalism and I’m a Christian, and I say it proudly, we should be Christian nationalists.” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) “I’m tired of this separation of church and state junk - that’s not in the Constitution.” Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) Lauren Boebert calls for laws to enforce "biblical citizenship training" in our schools.
“We’re not bending the knee to the two percent anymore,” said Andrew Torba, founder of the right-wing-friendly social platform Gab, referring to Jewish people in the United States. Retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, the former national security adviser, told a Christian gathering last November, “If we are going to have one nation under God, which we must, we have to have one religion. One nation under God and one religion under God.” The 10-year-old Ohio girl who crossed state lines to receive an abortion in Indiana should have carried her pregnancy to term and would be required to do so under a model law written for state legislatures considering more restrictive abortion measures, according to the general counsel for the National Right to Life. Former President Donald Trump said during a speech on Saturday that "Americans kneel to God" alone, as the concept of Christian nationalism continues to gain traction among conservatives. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis attended a rally in Pennsylvania with state Sen. Doug Mastriano. Mastriano has praised Andrew Torba, the founder of Gab and a self-described Christian nationalist. Desantis is the most insidious of them all because he knows better.
