Jesus sparked the "Jesus Revolution". Lonnie was a vessel Jesus used, but no man can take credit for Jesus work, except Jesus. 😉
It was a work of the Holy Spirit that drew me to the great revival of the 70s.. I will NEVER forget a cloud of love/peace that almost knocked me to the ground first time I felt it. I hated my sin and loved right living instantly and I had lived quite the delinquent life up until that day.. Of course it was Jesus, He departed from earth years ago and The Father sent 'the comforter' in His Place until his return to receive us to Himself.
Spot on. Lonnie was only a messenger.
Amen well said Him and Him alone
That’s right 🕊️❤️
Amen!!
When Lonnie Frisbee lived in Santa Cruz he worked for a while across the street from me. He went to the same Jesus Church (Mission Street Fellowship) I did and visited a Surfer's bible study at our house once or twice. That was a miraculous experience.
He painted a 3'x6' painting for me, a copy of an Alphonse Mucha art Nouveau portrait. I still have it.
He was trying recover from his divorce and rejection. He came back to Santa Cruz just before he died to make amends and not leave everyone guessing. He definitely was one of a kind.
Want to sell the painting?
Was Lonnie gay?
@@saulespino2510 what does it matter, the man is dead.
can you post a picture of it?
@@saulespino2510 you gotta read the 3 books that tell his whole story. Don't just believe the headlines and naysayers. He was abused as a child, but very much a follower and vessel and friend of the Holy Spirit and we should honor him as a dear brother.
Let’s keep Jesus the focus and the joy all about Him in all our conversations. Raising Him up alone🙏🏻🙏🏻 7:26
Always about anyone but
The Savior
I don’t see anything wrong with their conversation at 7:26, did you expect them to say Amen or something?
Learning someone's history is not giving glory to them. Of course, Jesus WAS the Movement but He uses people. We do not glorify anyone except God but knowing someone's history isn't the same as giving them all the credit.
@@sarajomendez7994 amen
🙄🙄🙄🙄
All of the glory goes to Jesus! Only Jesus! The Holy Spirit always brings glory to the Father. Lonnie was his vessel, and it is heartbreaking he walked away. I heard before he died, he made peace with himself, and more importantly with the Lord. We can all learn from his mistakes and remember we can all fall if we take our eyes off Jesus. God bless you and the Frisbee family with peace.
I don't think Lonnie "walked away". I think he was shoved into a corner and he broke. I'm happy that he forgave everybody.
So well said! No matter how long you follow Jesus, if you stop looking at Him fir your source of life and thinking its all you, ANYONE can and will fall ..Pride goes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall..Proverbs 16:18
What's up with all these comments. Literally no one said that Jesus doesn't get the glory 🙄🤫
@@davechristensen8299 According to the movie he wasn’t pushed. He started to make it about himself.
Charlotte, I couldn't have said it any better...
Lonnie is honored a lot in the movie. Those who do not think so, need to watch it again including the credits; where he is honored again.
They made it look as though he was doing a circus show during his word of knowledge moments. I live very close to Greg Laurie's church. I know what he believes in and he doesn't agree with what Lonnie did in his ministry. Greg does not believe in the power of the Holy Spirit. So no. He was not honored. They made those scenes uncomfortable on purpose.
I believe he was given prominence in the movie. If true the way it was explained in an interview I saw with Chuck then it seems Lonnie may have been attacked by the enemy to deter him from his calling. It was more evident after he left CA.
Yes I watched it and it did honor Lonnie.
I thought they showed Lonnie during his time of moving in the Spirit pretty accurately. It may have been slightly theatrical, but I move in the Spirit this way and I think it is portrayed pretty accurately especially by someone who doesn't agree with it or understand it.
@@angelrebekah9153 That’s interesting because I didn’t see them as uncomfortable, but actually powerful scenes. I thought the comment about “theater” was more about showing us how differently two believers can view the same thing and how important it is to unite both Word and Spirit. The timing of this movie is a perfect reminder that we don’t miss that and unite under One Head (Christ) for this next season.
5 years ago my 17 year old grandson was saved after listening on the internet to one of Lonnie's sermons! I lived during the Jesus Revolution and wasn't saved until '86, but knew about the Movement. What a surprise and blessing when grandson came in one night and told me. I knew of Chuck and Greg but had never heard of Lonnie, and that night he showed me the video. I was immediately interested in him and after that I learned more about him. It wasn't until after this movie that I was so relieved to know that Lonnie did repent and return to The Lord! PTL!! 💜
I also was a young Teen during the Jesus Revolution, but didn't become a Christian either Sarajo, until 1987. First of all I also lived in a small town in Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦. I think had I lived in California at the time, I definitely would have had a better chance of being a part of it. Remember in those days we had no Cellphones like today. Praise the Lord your Grandson got to hear all about what happened back in the 70's and like so many young people are drawn to what was happening then. That is why God wants me to share my experiences in a 3 part Book. To also warn young people what not to do and to stay on top of God's Word. If you drift away and what can happen. An important message to share for our young people, NOW ‼️❤️🙏✝️💜🙏🏾💜
Lonnie turned out to be be rotten to the core. Know it
What was the one he watched & how you get it? 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙌
@@lorimacduff1180 p hi
What sparked the Jesus Revolution was a move of God. He used a lot of folks.🔥🔥🔥 Including Lonnie
There needs to be a movie about the life and ministry of Lonnie. ❤
I think there is one.
As Cathe Laurie stated, this movie is more like a painting or portrait, rather than a true photograph. The main things are true, but creative license was made for purposes of time limitations. Too much to get into 2 hours. At least this is opening conversation about Lonnie…and people are awakening to Jesus!
they still could have honored Lonnie more...as a story teller myself, it's not hard to change certain words, and bend certain scenes toward the truth.
@@ItsAlohaMonday this is not about Lonnie, Chuck, Greg or 10k+ other people. This is what God did and using people empowered with the Holy Spirit. God seemed to remove the anointing of Lonnie with continual sin. It was not The Lonnie Frisbee story.
I agree about the healing part in the movie. When Lonnie prayed for the woman with deafness in one ear, she shows no emotion except a slight smile & they move on. I noticed that it seems that the film later focused on Lonnie’s major sin being pride & perhaps they were insinuating that it wasn’t really the Holy Spirit anointing to heal but rather Lonnie capitalizing on the sensational to keep the audience focused on him. I’m not saying that is the truth; it’s just one way to look at it (why they didn’t focus more on the manifestation of the Holy Spirit like people getting “slain in the Spirit” or getting “baptized in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues”.
I believe all that was occurring powerfully under Lonnie’s ministry from the research I’ve done so far. Pastor Chuck Smith was not so groovy with all that “sensationalism.” It’s still the same today where the Spirit is quenched but God is mercifully & graciously moving once again on our behalf. We need both the solid teaching of the whole Word of God AND the power of the Holy Spirit so we can supernaturally do what the Word says; to do as Jesus did on this planet when he walked this earth. One without the other is either dangerous or ineffective.
Maybe the producers of The Jesus Revolution were seeking to avoid the controversy that often still separates denominations today and keep the film focused on salvations & discipleship.
@@ebnphlo spiritual gifts and being “slain in the spirit” never convey well on film. It’s impossible to capture the Holy Spirit working inside someone or in a room on film so it just comes off very poorly. I think they were wise to focus on the fact that so many were being drawn and lives saved and changed with touches of the Holy Spirit aspect so that very important piece is not left out entirely. That’s just my observations.
@@joinjen3854 the movie was pretty biased in favor towards Chuck Smith...and if you even watched the movie, the movie was ALL ABOUT GREG AND CHUCH - that's all I'm trying to say. Movie makers have a bias and they have the power to divert and highlight certain things that they want to convey a message, that's what film making does. I'm just saying that's what happened in this film. And just because you give honor to whom honor is due doesn't mean that you're declaring that it was all about them. You can HONOR the prophets of God and still know that God did it. According to Lonnie's brother, so much could have happened in this movie that expressed truth. As someone who works in media, there are adjustments that could've been made and they didn't have to add an hour more to the film or break the bank. I'm just pointing out the bias, I"m not knocking the filmmakers for shoving their perspective in the film narrative, I'm just saying they "could have" honored Lonnie more but they didn't.
Today March 12, 1993, Jesus called you home, I want to say Lonnie, thank you for all you had done for Jesus, the lives you touched in a powerful way, all the people you led to Jesus, being the Innovator of the Jesus movement. You are no longer in pain, but is in the loving arms of Jesus forever. May God keep you always. Thank you Lonnie, Jesus love you
God used Lonnie in a mighty way. All glory be to God!
The movie was beautiful and i think they certainly honored Lonnie … but its the story of how Jesus worked through 3 different men and changed everything … and i think this movie will be used by God in a powerful way to awaken the church and bring in a great harvest of souls
The movie was fabulous and Lonnie was given respect and recognition. If not for this movie I would not have known of him. God used him powerfully and when he fell , God had him and did not abandon Lonnie. Whether or not Lonnie was genuine , he was used greatly. At the end , he still believed according to a bedside visit by greg Laurie . So powerful. So grateful for his contribution
When Stan started to speak about Lonnie wanting his Wrestler's Letter jacket at the end, the LORD showed me that Lonnie had wrestled with his choices and knew at the end he'd earned it - he was a winner - he overcame - that jacket was a prophetic picture of Lonnie's life
I don't know if that makes sense but it profoundly touched my heart and soul! ❤💐
Sweet! When I read your comment it reminded me of the BEAUTIFUL gospel song, “Two Coats” “…Two coats were before me an old and a new, I asked my sweet master, what must I do? The old coat was earthly, tattered and torn…” please look it up on YT if you are not familiar with it…it MIGHT be patty lovelace? Not sure, any way, God bless you, hope you have a great day!🙂
@@brendacollins345 I WILL look that up! Thank you for sharing! Much love!!❤🔥
I bear witness with that- beautiful!
Thank you for this presentation that was most intriguing because I was at CC when Lonnie was there and when he left. I knew Lonnie when he and Connie resided at the Blue House.Later I moved to Mansion Messiah House. I had a conversion to Christ and subsequent spiritual warfare story that will curl your toes, that involved Lonnie and Connie. My conversion testamony was so dramatic and miraculous some have suggested making a movie out of it. Chuck and the elders prayed for healing for me several times, usually at the Saturday night prayer meeting at the Chapel..Lonnie demonstrated Jesus to me on several occasions, he will always be fondly remembered, see you in heaven brother.
I was saved in 1974 in Costa Mesa at Calvary chapel, I glorify no one one but Christ , you are correct we need balance Holy Spirit and the word , the apostolic movement lead us way off base and the legalistic Armenian lead us off base as well , to hit the mark is to test every spirit by the word and prayer
I was saved at Calvary chapel golden springs
@@bernieshomestead6416 My first church after leaving my cult church.. I guess i can also say , i was saved there as well...
So well said. Many years ago at a Vineyard church, something Lonnie had been instrumental in starting with John Wimber I heard there needs to be a marriage between the Word and the Spirit! So be it Father. Let us us do what we see you doing!
Yes.❤
"legalistic Armenian"? That is an oxymoron. Calvinism is legalistic
I was in high school in the late 70s
In El Toro Calif . I was on the way to a party. My friends and I stopped at by Calvery Chapeal Costa Mesa.
Thus was a year or two after the tent was taken down and the new building was up.
2end chapter of acts was playing. And after the Gospel message.
I went back the following Friday and the Friday after that .
Love song band was there. And I got saved at that time ...
I did not see Lonnie at that time . But the Holy Spirit was moving ... big time.!
I was a surfer at the time still am.
Love the Lord with all my heart . And I am still walking with a strong relationship with Jesus.
The Movie Jesus Revaluation. Was a really great movie . And I pray that we have a new movement again .
With the word of God and the Holy Sprit at the same time ...
You have to have both....
Keeping this prayer .
Thank you for this interview with Lonnie, brother . .. God bless. I learned a lot.
We all are broken . I was . And Jesus saved me..
We had afterglow at the Women’s club in Dana Point. It was 1970 - 1974 for me and I went to the tiny Calvary Chapel on Saturday nights. Love Song was the worship band. Afterglow was where I learned about Holy Spirit and the gifts. It was a blessed time!!
Where was Afterglow? I came to know Jesus with Calvary Chapels in San Juan ‘s help during Covid. They moved to San Capistrano after that.
I first heard about Chuck Smith listening to Jon Courson who went to Calvary Chapel. When I saw the trailer for this movie the Lord gave me a heart tug when I saw J. R. portraying Lonnie Frisbee. The Lord then lead me down a Lonnie Frisbee rabbit hole. I am fascinated and overwhelmed by how his Mothers Day Sermon correlates prophetically with what’s going on in our world today. It’s not a coincidence that this movie is out or that we are talking about Lonnie Frisbee some 30 years after his death.
Even though I am not a pena costal I appreciate what you had to say about Lonny. I do think God used him. I don't understand it all but I 😘 Ve Jesus
Completely.
I just watched the movie yesterday and there was no doubt the movies central character was Lonnie.
Lori, read here : Thanks Rob and Stan for this great interview. I witnessed a Lonnie church meeting in Morro Bay, CA about 1990. It was the most awesome church service I ever went to in my life and it hit me like a ton of bricks. I was high with the Holy Ghost for 3 days afterwards!! I LOVED IT! Some of the people would not accept it and they all left bummed out. Kinda like how I felt after watching the "Jesus Revolution" movie last night. I have not been to a movie theater in 2 years. Only 5 other people were in the theatre. For 30 years I had questions. I read all of Roger Sachs books, highly recommend them. I attended a Los Osos Vineyard at this time and after this meeting the church split up and I quit going. The Jesus Revolution movie was great at first. I liked it highly, but kinda bummed me out at the end. I was like "So, where is this revival? Are we to get another one?" I did not leave theatre all fired up on Jesus, rather walked out all quiet and bummed out. I give the producer a "C" on his movie. Now I know who funded the movie and it makes sense now "Come Holy Spirit and knock everyone down and re-charge their bodies with your powerful LOVE!! Amen
I felt the same. I had researched him long ago when I taught about revival. Now my hunger to know more about the ministry has increased again. Exciting time! Come Lord Jesus!
I must say that we must never forget that NO MAN is solely responsible for sparking anything supernatural! GOD IS THE REASON for anything good that comes from anything we do! Lonnie was a piece of the puzzle, so was Chuck Smith and others. I was saved in 1972 as a result of the Jesus Movement so I am forever grateful to all those who were so courageous and obedient to the Holy Spirit but God gets the credit-
Went to see the movie last weekend, then was flabbergasted by the epilogue when it says Lonnie initiated the Vineyard movement…. I had been in the Vineyard and in leadership for 25 years and had never heard of him!! So immediately I started researching, watched the documentary, and bought his books! What an emotional rollercoaster has it been!! SO, SO GRATEFUL Roger Sachs wrote these books directly from Lonnie’s words! Thank God people like John Ruttkay and Stan Frisbee are here to give some context to everything. I needed to understand this, to wrap my head around why this guy never gets mentioned in the movement he helped founded. My husband and I are now devouring these books! At peace now and so inspired!! God even turns our messy conflicts for His Glory-Lonnie’s story was hibernating until now for such a time as this!!
Yeah because Lonnie was gay and that is why he isn’t acknowledged but finally it is coming out.
@@vikkiblondin3616 Give glory to the Lord, not the man!
Holy Ghost sparked the "JESUS Revolution", Lonnie was a willing vessel through which Holy Ghost moved through. So much so, that it pushed against "man's (religious) box" and it scared man.
It would do man GOOD not to forget that... ALL the GLORY belongs to God alone.
It makes me sad that his brother said is was hardly about Lonnie. I felt the movie put a big spot light on Lonnie. And why would you fight for Lonnie to shine more. Let’s keep Jesus front and center. And give more grace to those who created the film. I feel like this interview is very ungracious!! It really just feels like he is grumbling. I can’t imagine fitting everything into 2 hours. It was not Lonnie’s revolution. It was the Lords!
From the UK I have only recently heard of Lonnie since hearing about the movie. Stan said that Lonnie had a childlike nature. I get that feeling from listening to some of Lonnie's sermons which I found recently on youtube, he sounds so genuine, simplistic, loving in his preaching. “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.' Mathew 18.3 God used Lonnie in a wonderful way to bring others to Jesus. Lonnie seems to have done what God required and although he stumbled later in life he loved God. It is good to hear from his brother Stan who sounds so gentle, calm and loving remembering his brother Lonnie. I agree that Lonnie was all natural, I'm glad he never went to seminary too and retained his simplicity for his love of Jesus which attracted others to him because they could understand the message without all the big words. Yes, Lonnie probably did need some balance in his life between his ministry and personal life, and things may have been different for Lonnie if he'd had that balance, but God knows how our lives will play out from the start, middle and end. Agree with Stan we need word and spirit. As Robby says something is stirring and thank God for that. We are all broken, hurting and wounded people and Jesus is our Saviour, thank God he can use broken vessels. Amen.
Is there any other kind? God knew what They were getting when Trinity called us. We’re no suprise to the Trinity.
The message is, if and when you fall, COME BACK to Jesus!!! We are encouraged by the testimony of others, but Jesus alone is perfect in holiness and He alone is our focus. If we focus on Him, no one else’s fall can separate us from the love of God ❤ I’m so glad to hear that apparently Lonnie did come back!!!
P R O B A B L Y ...gets you thrown out of court as a guesser..not a witness.
I.e., 2 people fight in a back alley...u do not see the fight...U tell the judge you heard about it...NOT A WITNESS
This is an interesting conversation. I was personally present to hear Lonnie preach at the Riverside Episcopal church down the street from the Riverside Auditorium. I totally agree that the balance of scripture and the Holy Spirit are both important. At the time, I was a 4th generation Seventh-Day Adventist and I have to say, the SCRIPTURE verse by verse teaching side of the Jesus movement was vital in my breaking free from Adventism. Describing emphasis on scripture as “dry works” is to diminish how I connected and am anchored in scripture. It’s where I get to know God Himself in the words He has preserved over the ages to reveal who He is! The Holy Spirit is part of my encounter with scripture. It is against this that I test everything experiential and doctrinal. My cultural upbringing does influence how expressively I may respond to the Holy Spirit. But I have decades of experience knowing He lives in me and guides my life! The Jesus Revolution Movie did leave out many things but the role of verse-by-verse teaching allowing scripture to interpret vs humans was key. Not only did it play a central role in the Jesus Revival of the 70’s, the high regard for scripture also lead several Seventh-Day Adventist preachers to get fired and eventually start growing Calvary Chapel churches by they way of teaching (referring specifically to Mark Martin in Phoenix). BALANCE… is the key. The Bereans tested everything against scripture.
Jerry smith, firstly why do you mean that you had tonleave The Seventh-day Adventist church? Or are you back to it? There is no many churches that study the Bible as Adventists, they have the gifts of The Holy Spirit (as others also have). And sevondary why is your profile picture a woman, whilist your name is Jerry?
I read a quote years ago that says something like this:
The Word without the spirit leads to a spiritual Dry Up.
The spirit without the word leads to an emotional Blow Up.
The word and the spirit together leads to a spiritual Grow Up. "
That is so good!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
No PERSON starts a true Christian spiritual movement. Only God.
As I sit here late into the evening listening to this interview I would like to say this. I have seen Jesus Revolution 2 times right after I was blessed to go to Asbury outpouring . There is no coincidence of the timing of the two. When I walked away from the movie which was so beautiful I knew there was so much more to the man Lonnie Frisbee . Even tho the movie may not have had all the details needed I did just as you said … tell me more about the anointing and the life of Lonnie. From what I have found his life was a powerful and beautiful story of an afflicted but yet anointed man that changed the world for Jesus. God is amazing and I’m thankful for His grace that changes us into His son and daughters. Thank you for sharing this interview.
😆😭
Find John Ruttkey's expose on his long term friendship with Lonnie. It's beautiful, and truthful, and amazing...
ua-cam.com/video/SMpFN4QedWE/v-deo.html
My husband and I went to see it Saturday and definitely enjoyed it. I wasn't sure why Chuck Smith expressed that Lonnie's prophetic gift was theatrical. It seemed that Chuch Smith didn't understand the gift of healing. It truly showed what churches are like in today's world, only much larger.
I dont think it was the fact that Lonnie was healing. I think it started as Jesus power and then lonnie almost became obsessed that it became his own ambition rather than the work of the spirit. Thats what I took away from it-- lonnie and Chuck reconciled at the end.
The film left out what else was going on in lonnies life around the time. He was going threw a divorce and then fell away. I think the film depicted his down fall, lonnie did fall but on his death bed he came back to Christ Greg said he had a prodigal son story.
Having been born again during that time, I think I can give some helpful insight. It requires understanding something about Katherine Kuhlman and her method of ministry. The movie shows the Lonnie and Katherine together in one scene, purposefully to suggest that Lonnie was wanting to emulate her style of "anointing." A little research will reveal to you that she was quite controversial in her day, even among long time Pentecostals who considered her methods flamboyant and theatrical. Many questioned the authenticity of her "healings" as suspect. Joni Earekson Tada, a well known Christian paraplegic has a video on UA-cam sharing her experience at one of KK crusades where all the profoundly crippled people in wheelchairs who arrived early, desperate for a touch from God, were whisked away to a separate room to listen rather than taken to the front before the crowds arrived, as they supposed would be the case, arriving early. After the service they were all ushered out a back door to catch their rides. I imagine Chuck was trying to stick with the plain teaching of the Word instead of being an experimental "Holy Spirit extravaganza." Chuck came from a background of the Foursquare Churches, one of the more conservative Pentecostal churches, started by Aimee Semple McPherson, who also ended her preaching career in scandal and controversy.
I also have a personal experience with John Wimber. When the Vineyard churches were still new, he was invited to the AG church I attended in Houston in the early 80's, where he taught a seminar on learning how to operate in the gifts of the Spirit, primarily, gifts of healing, discernment of spirits and deliverance. I have a theological problem with the concept of teaching how to walk in the gifts, as the Bible teaches they are gifts distributed by the Spirit, not taught by men. Even today, there is a great divide in the American church between those who think we should be emphasizing the teaching of the Scriptures, which is what Chuck Smith followed, and those who emphasize the power of the Spirit with signs & wonders, which is why Lonnie ended up with Wimber and the Vineyard. Lonnie may very well have been the spark that got the Jesus Revolution started on the West coast, but it was not the wind of the Spirit blowing through "miracle workers" that grew it into a blazing fire. It was the faithful exposition of God's Word, which is Spirit breathed, and taught by Chuck Smith, who became a father of the faith to those God sent his way. He laid a foundation in their lives that emphasized the reliability of the Word of God as the key to transformation and growing in maturity in Christ. In my opinion, after 50 years of following Christ with a solid grounding in Scripture,such as Chuck Smith taught, Jesus said that an evil generation seeks after signs. I think that is true of this generation as well.
Because the WOF movement is bunch a bunch of garbage. The Apostles paid a very heavy price for the gifts Christ gave them bit they always emphasized Gal 2 vs 20
I saw the movie last night “ Jesus Revolution “
So POWERFUL!!!
LOVED Lonnie’s spirit & his genuine heart!!!!
Love learning about LONNIE’S life!!!!
🙏🏻🙏🏻✨😇✨🙏🏻🙏🏻
I felt Lonnie was represented in quite a good light. His story and character touched me the most. Even in an interview with Greg Laurie that I watched - he was very positive about him. Movies miss a lot - it’s Hollywood. I loved learning more about Lonnie and I am so glad he found his way back to Christ, which the movie mentions at the end as well.
There was a lot about Lonnie as far as I could tell. It shows how he lead Greg the Lord. I really enjoyed it and highly respect Lonnie and Chuck.
Lonnie's giftings proved the scripture that says, "the gifts and callings of God are irrevocable!" Once God gives a gift He doesn't take it back!
Thanks so much for sharing to offer a little more perspective. Apparently, about 3 days ago, one of Lonnie’s best friends released a UA-cam video also fully clarifying things about Lonnie’s life including reading a small short portion from Lonnie’s 3rd book. I so appreciated him doing so.
I think I know which video you are talking about. John Ruttkay (his UA-cam channel is Jesus Movement 2.0) had an excellent video on Lonnie.
Yes, that was the one I saw.
Yes I watched it in tears. It was a very heartfelt video.
Awesome thanks for sharing. Since seeing the movie I’ve been esp interested in his involvement in the Vineyard movement with John Wimber. That’s where I saw the marriage of the word and the Spirit. Sadly I also saw the how the previous movement persecuted the next thing ( the religious among the Pentecostals) its how it’s always been back to the days of being called a heretic and being burned at the stake! Judgmental words are just as deadly in discouraging ppl From finding Jesus the truth the life the One Way!
I watched it! Its very good. I am thankful for the details added in this vidoe as well.
Jesus Revolution made me really like Lonnie ! Jonathan did a great job playing him
Lonnie was the beating heart. Chuck Smith was the mind.
They need each other. The mind shouldn’t say to the heart “I don’t need you.” ♥️
Lonnie was the empty vessel that was so totally open and surrendered to God. Chuck had the structure, foundation and shelter that artistic people like Lonnie need. Lonnie also needed some practical pointers on how to be a good husband and how to address and heal trauma so you don’t have to battle addictions and imbalance so much. I learned so much from this interview.
Kelly DeCamp - So👏well👏said👏. Every word. Thank you💞
hmmm and who orchestrated this....hmmm yup God...and oh yes they needed to obey their call...So glad they did...Lynnel Job
Someone should do a movie on the life and ministry of Lonnie. ❤
Lonnie clearly still harbored the spirit of rebellion against authority that was so characteristic of the 60's. He couldn't submit to pastoral authority.
Great comment.
A lot of people are missing a big point of the film, that is, Chuck Smith very much continued in the word and the work up until his death, teaching the word and giving people understanding of the word. The movie is not about Lonnie, it is a movie about God using broken people to bring the Word to those who knew there was a void and would fill it with anything. There is a far bigger picture here that goes beyond what the film covers and beyond the general 2 years as told by the information cards at the end of the film. Lonnie was a piece of what happened, but Chuck and Laurie continued in the Word, teaching the word. It seems it can't be said for Lonnie, who had some setbacks and difficulties. The film covers the riff for a purpose, that healing itself (whether theatrical or not) is not the Gospel (it is only a part, and not necessary), but the Word must be given priority, because the word is necessary.
You cant separate the Word from the equally important gifts of the Spirit. You must have both.
@@bobchevallier8456 The Word & Holy Spirit. The gifts of the Spirit are not 'equal' with the Holy Spirit nor the Word. Gifts are products, though not a necessity, of the Word & Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit Himself, is the gift. So if our takeaway from this movie is "gifts," such as when referring to Lonnie, we're missing the entire point of this film. The point of being drawn to Lonnie in this regard is exactly why Lonnie was dismissed by Chuck, who carried on in the Word as he should. I do not dismiss God's work through Lonnie, but signs and healings are not enough, regardless if they are packaged as gifts, and that is the why Lonnie was dismissed. Chuck continued in the Word and through his continuing in the Word, God gave life to millions.
You're forgetting that Holy Spirit is a person---you cannot separate Him from the Word, Jesus Christ. They are ONE. When Holy Spirit is moving in the room through his gifts--which are the manifestation of His presence, you've got to remember that the Word and the Spirit are ONE. If we shut the gifts (which is the presence of the spirit) for the word which directs us to welcome him and obey then we are missing whole point.
@@danapet1 @danapet1 Im not forgetting the Holy Spirit is a person, as I've referred to Him as such. You're going straight to talking points instead of seeing what I've stated. I do not refute gifts are of The Spirit. Such gifts, as emphasized by general pentecostal movements, emphasize gifts as a mark salvation, therein lies the problem. My bigger point, as stated previously, is humanity being drawn to this as evidence by the nature of this exchange. Lonnie seem to do incredible things. But he had fallen away. Chuck and company, continued to walk in the Word, with the Spirit and greater things came of it than marks of gifts. The greatest gift of the Spirit, is the Spirit Himself, not the supernatural encounters, because even those who witness a flash, will still deny it. Those who let the Word indwell, and take root, are building a house with a firm foundation. Not one that can be washed away at the first sign of the wind.
@ Alphadrum 🙌 I couldn’t agree more! The gifts of the spirit are temporary, the FRUIT of the Spirit is eternal… we need to focus more attention on building fruit and strong godly character which comes about through maturity.
We. Left the theater wanting to know more about Lonnie.
Did God use Lonnie I say yes .. but was he the only spark ? I say no. The Holy Spirit used many people make a huge move
My parents was saved during this movement, also all my aunts and uncles! I’m grateful the Lord had mercy and poured His Spirit out on these young people! In all honesty, because of this movement my parents taught me of Jesus, same as them in their teen years and early 20s I done some pretty horrible stuff. One thing I held on to was the name Jesus. In my apartment alone in 2009 I gave my life to Him. I don’t know all the details of how it got started I’m just so thankful it did it has saved so many!
To me, the movie was meant to honor Lonnie. They chose Jonathan who plays Jesus in the Chosen to play Lonnie - people love the Chosen and immediately associate Jonathan with the Lord. This was a powerful choice and one done with great sensitivity.
I understand Jonathan was twice the age, but I think he did a great job.
So NOT a slick marketing decision by Greg?
One of us is wrong.
The Chosen was produced by Mormons and Jonathan is a freemason....Things are not always as they seem....
I love what you shared about your experience.
I received JESUS as my Savior in 1973. After living very worldly the next couple of years, some pain came into my life that wrecked me. I cried out for months and chose to surrender my whole life and heart to HIM as my LORD in 1976. Forever GRATEFUL! ✝️🙌🏼
I appreciate your testimonies and the stories of the amazing things that JESUS did in California. I also saw JESUS doing HIS great work all over the nation at that time - in many churches, and schools, and families, and individuals. GOD was calling people and bringing revivals in many places in that day as HE continues to do this day! May we pray that HE brings Revivals in our hearts everywhere!
I believe that Lonnie wanted his Wrestling Letterman jacket when he was on his death bed because he knew in that moment he was not "Wrestling against flesh and blood" (Ephesians 6:12) and Lonnie was not going to tap out💪but to fight on and perserver. Well done good and faithful servant🙏
I was a teen that attended the Afterglow with Lonnie. I can’t tell you how the room felt other than to say it was like a rush of oxygen, light, and joy all at once. I’ll never forget it or Lonnie. He’d get so excited he’d start jumping up and down and boom! The Spirit would hit us all! Praise God forever! There has got to be other places where this is happening, you cannot keep the Spirit away when He is invited to come.
This happens every time my church meets. We welcome Holy Spirit
I wish I could hear Stan more. Less interruption. God bless.
I hope one day someone makes an accurate movie about Lonnie’s life from start to finish.
Lonnie Frisbee, life n death of a hippie preacher….check it out
Read his books, there's 3
@@lindadurand247 The book(s) is usually always better than the movie interpreting the book in film.
@@billyjoeLOGTRUCKco isn’t the author of that biography the same guy who produced Fallen Angel, the damning documentary about Larry Norman?
@@ebnphlo the movie is based on Greg Laurie's book, not Lonnie's.
You’re absolutely right. The movie was impactful, and I wondered more about Lonnie, which is why I looked him up and am here! Because he seemed to honor the Holy Spirit, and despite his weaknesses God used him mightily. I wanted to hear more of his testimony and learn from it.
Plus Greg Laurie does not believe in the power of the Holy Spirit. I would like to learn more about Lonnie through a different lense than someone who doesn't move in the Spirit.
@@angelrebekah9153 What does Greg Laurie believe, as far as the Holy Spirit?
People can’t help themselves in making this about a man. It’s about Jesus using flawed vessels to bring a real spiritual revolution. It’s a carnal craving to try to pin credit on the wrong things. Keep your eyes on Jesus. Yes, God used Lonnie, but so did Dark Evangelists. Let God be true and every man a liar.
I met Stan at the vineyard very warm loving person before vineyard changed to dwelling place. I now go to a calvary. What I see is vineyard was not strong in the word and calvary is not allowing the spirit to move. I have learned so much of the word being at calvary I was an infant at vineyard being saved for 15 years sadly. It grieves me. But in the end there is no perfect church. I want so much for a beautiful church who is strong in both spirit and truth. I miss so much of the spirit of God moving. When I go to a holy spirit filled church I learn very little in the word. I've grown so much in thr Joy of the Lord in a word church and learning to be a servant which non was present in my life in a spirit filled church. I love the Holy Spirit but churches are so broken and scared of Him moving and want to control Him.
I was raised in a Baptist church, saved at a young age. Went away from God in my teens and early 20s. Returned to the Lord and started going to a Grace Brethren church where I really grew in my knowledge of the Bible, but left because the gifts of the spirit were really downplayed. Ended up at a Vineyard church some years later. I'm glad that Protestant churches emphasize different things. No 1 perfect church here on earth, that I know of. But most are striving to do their best as they feel led.
So I started hearing about Jesus Revolution because I follow the Chosen posts per Jonathan Roumie. I then remembered hearing Lonnie back in 1971 and immediately wondered what happened to him so a few weeks ago I ordered Ronnie’s books to hear his actual story. I just finished the first book and I feel like I actually know him as a friend! The stories he shares are pretty amazing! It is a spirited story of redemption, forgiveness and power. I am recommending these books because they are a voice in the wilderness as current today as they were when they occurred. God bless Stan and Radical Radio!
I just ordered his books, can't wait to read them
That's how I saw it that Lonnie Frisbee started the Jesus movement it the 70's and Greg Laurie said it too! Loved the Jesus Revolution movie... Well done! ❤
I’m glad I came across this interview. Calvary Chapel is my church and I thought the movie was good but I did feel Lonnie was dropped from the story rather suddenly. Now I know about Lonnie’s books and I can read about the whole story. Thank you.
I was also really let down, there should have been a honest review or end cap about how Lonnie went on with the movement... I felt it was like " Ok Lonnie, we got this move along!"
The movie was not about any one person. Not Lonnie it greg not Chuck. It was about Jesus
They all were VESSELS of God that God used 🕊️🙌🏼
Please be careful, the Frisbee's both lived in continual sexual sin. Something not present in Chuck smith or Greg Laurie's lives.
@@GodofDisco No one in the church body at the time nor do they now how to address child molestation. It is the core of the downward issues Lonnie was never ever to come to terms with and in the end, the pain of the molestation killed him. I know this story well. The same identical thing happened to my husband. He was a vital part of this movement as an evangelist using the music the Lord gave him to bring young people to Jesus in the late 60's and through his life. However he died of complications from the AIDS virus 3/1/2015. He was molested when he was 4 1/2 years old in a public park men's room. He was never able to get through the mental and emotional pain of the 1st event and the repetition through his life. At some point THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE CHURCH !!!!!!! Starting now would be a good time. It is pure evil and being perpetuated everyday all day long somewhere in this fallen world. GOD help us!
Robbie: Let Stan Talk
I thought the movie was great! I did keep in mind that this was more Greg Laurie’s life story more than it was Lonnie’s. I did however, walk away wanting to more of Lonnie so I’m glad there are books out there that let us in on that but I was not bothered that they chose to let Lonnie fade out of the story with such grace.
Robby I would give almost anything to have your testimony. To have been raised in a Christian home and been born again at an early age is THE BEST testimony EVER! The pain and heartache of a wayward sinful life is something you don't want to experience.
I watched about Lonnie wow so honest such love! I cried he touched my heart such a man of God a fisher of man for Jesus Yes so real! My Brother died of AIDS in 1992 he is with Jesus too❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
I think it was a combination of Kay and Chuck Smith and Lonnie. Flawed people open to God's will for their lives. I accepted Jesus at one of Lonnie's alter calls at the original Chapel. Chuck was a man of the Word and Lonnie was very sensitive to the Spirit. A powerful combination.
❤️
Yes and I believe they experience a sense of a marriage of the word and the Spirit. Sadly chuck got a little affected by what ppl were perceiving and broke up with Lonnie. God hooked him up with John Wimber and the Vineyard church movement which I was privileged to experience when my full Gospel Church shut down the move of Holy Spirit. Every movement seems to persecute the previous one. We must pray for this marriage to be restored. Father help us for Jesus sake amen
@@pamelakrueger1696 however, it seems the Vineyard drifted away from teaching the Word as J. Vernon McGee said: "Through the Bible," and became TOO focused on Kingdom Theology and Signs and Wonders, getting pretty Flakey at times [ George Ladd] , in my opinion... and started down it's own rabbit hole; it does seem like every Calvary Chapel has free online - book by book, line by line studies, and most Calvary Chapel's i've been to never deny the gifts - in their place..[albeit, a few are stale as dry toast, trying too hard to be a cookie -cutter image of ? some model 'supposed' from Chuck Smith's book, "Calvary Distinctives",..but that's an aberration].but most Vineyards have become very subjectively topical in teaching - you can rarely find any sharing the WORD - through the Bible - FREE, online..[ there was a Vineyard, once upon a time with an online Word ministry called - WAIT FOR IT, ' SPIRIT AND TRUTH' in..i think, San Mateo?], and I've observed most [Vineyards] are very out of balance too, only discipling there chosen few [ again, from a model - only this time, instead of Chuck Smith, Wimber's suggestion in raising up leadership]; I've seen several times, people from Vineyards NEVER - hardly ever carrying their Bibles, but rather walking around with a binder and 3 years of Prophetic Words to live by..dangerously Gnostic, ...it truely does take Spirit and Truth...and to say one doesn't have the Holy Soirit because they're not flowing in miracles and healings is naive; Salvation is the greatest miracle...and it was the Holy Spirit's gifting...not Lonnie's, Chuck's, Wimber's or Laurie's! Look at that little boy that had the vision of Heaven a few years back...God's Revelation to a kid - and from a conservative church - go figure.
The apostles had 3 years of training with Jesus. By the end, they had the best education a person could get.
The Lord used Lonnie’s Faith in a powerful way. God rest his soul. Let’s always remember who the Jesus revolution is truly about. Jesus Christ moving among us. We should make a revival about the Love Christ has for us/sinners! Thank God for Lonnie’s hunger for the Lord!!! Maybe Lonnie was the hungriest among us. He certainly worshiped the Lord In truth. OBserve what happens when any of us, including myself, makes it about us instead of Jesus. It happens. Good to know. It is Jesus Son of the Living God we hunger for. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🌹❤How beautiful is the genuine love between these two brothers? Peace and Love to you. 😊
First time tuning in and glad I did! This was time well spent! Thanks guys!
Thank you Robby. This was so well done. Looking forward to Part 2. Staying radical.
Hey Robby, Jo and I saw this last night. This was very well done. So good to see this.
Good sharing on Lonnie’s life, a powerful preacher used by God. I saw the movie, its great! Will bring many to Christ. I also got the 3 books on Lonnie, It happens in Southern California, where I live, I just heard about this movement! Amen!
Love this review Robbie and Stan. Thx so much for filling in the blanks. Can't wait for pt. 2.
Love and appreciate this interview After seeing the movie I had some concerns and had some questions about some things And was so glad to hear you answering them !!! Things make more sense now!!! ❤❤ Thank you !!
Thanks for this conversation Robby. I have been a vineyard church parishioner for over 25 years now. I have been studying the life of Lonnie Frisbee and his connections to Calvary chapel and the vineyard. I think both Chuck Smith and John Wimber hurt him greatly, and handled their relationships with him very poorly. In my opinion, both of those movements should publicly acknowledge the impact Lonnie had for them to be where they are at today. I saw an interview with Greg Laurie about this movie. And it seemed like to me he was trying to keep himself at arm’s length with being associated with Lonnie frisbee as well.
Totally agree. The ego of Chuck and ousting Lonnie hurt me for Lonnie. I walked out of the movie. Damn these men with their need to be praised and dominate. Church is full of them.😢
Thank you _so_ much for this interview! Stan, 💞. Lonnie, ❤️.
I hope and pray there isn’t division caused by this interview amongst Christians. May the Holy Spirit freely do His work. Watching the movie was wonderful and uplifting. A movie will never capture everything just like the gospel books each have the same message but a different focus. Please, please don’t cause division. The movie clearly showed Lonnie’s role in Gods move.
Great video! Thank you so much. Now looking for Part 2💕🙏🏼✝️
No doubt your brother affected the lives of many people and his legacy is something wonderful and should be respected by believers.
I don't really see anyone trying to exclude him in fact quite a few people have posted his participation in their lives on forums relating to the movie.
I am 68 born Jewish and Bar Mitzvah and became a born again Christian at 14 but in the east coast in Long Island . I had no idea what was going on in California or had ever heard of Lonnie until I saw a video about his passing on UA-cam and then in the movie.
Unfortunately many leaders have fallen prey to various conditions and people often forget their contribution to the faith preferring to gossip and put them down. I'm sorry for your loss. Blessings , Agape! 🙏👌👍👋❤️
Just saw movie. I thought they did a very good job portraying Lonnie. Movie couldn’t possibly capture all of Lonnie’s journey.
I agree, Lonnie's story would require an entire movie, and much like the 4 Gospels, each a slightly different perspective of the same event and it proves that it wasn't scripted.
lonnie frisbee, “life n death of a hippie preacher” check it out been out for at least 10 plus years !!!
I agree
Lonnie was a side bar. The movie was about Chuck and Greg.
What a sidebar! I was much more fascinated with Lonnie than with Chuck or Greg. Not sure they wanted that emphasis in the movie, but it seem to highlight his impact on the Jesus movement more than the other two men.
Thank you for this Robbie! ❤️
Greg Laurie does not say Lonnie left before the tent. He speaks of Lonnie in the tent and the movie also shows Lonnie in the tent. I love hearing more about Lonnie. The movie was not about Lonnie, or else they would have included more. He was definitely pivotal in the Jesus Movement and many, many Christian leaders today. God moved mightily through Lonnie. Greg L also explains some differences in the movie vs reality. He did explain that he got started in the home groups and Chuck Smith bought a church and Greg made payments on it. He just had to simplify the movie and cut a lot out due to timing.
I just saw a video yesterday where Greg says Lonnie did leave just before the tent went up.
@@ronaldsautter6484yes I saw that too which was confusing bc that’s not what the movie showed
This was beyond Awesome!!!! Thank you both and thank you Robby!!! You are a powerful voice for the power of Gods Spirit!!!!
God puts a revival in place and does He use certain people to motivate parts of it yes He does. I watched the movie and yes it was Gregs Testimony so Chuck, Greg and Lonnie were tools in the Lords hands for each situation. I was saved in 1973 at age 26, I was not a hippie but knew what life was like at the time living in Canada and the Lord touched my life when I was not seeking Him at all but I am grateful for His gift of salvation and have never turned back and i’m in my 50th year as a Believer and my life has had several valleys at this time my youngest son of 46 is going through cancer treatments so if you want to pray add him and his brother to your prayer list for spiritual salvation and healing of cancer. I praise The Lord above All and live to see my family saved and yours as well for the rapture is near. 🙏
Such an amazing ministry. Thanks Stan for sharing and giving an greater insight into Lonnie's story. from Aotearoa New Zealand
I got the fact that Lonnie was the spark used to start the movement.
Thanks for sharing ! Lonnie truly was gifted by God. I am glad he wrote a book to document and share his story.
Jesus is the meaning of this movie! God used lonnie to reach the young people❤😀🙌🏻Praise the Lord many were saved 😀
Stan has the same gentle spirit that was beautiful in Lonnie...the Spirit of Christ!
Thank you so much for this segment; I saw the movie on Saturday, I didn’t know but UA-cam has most of Lonnie preachings in different churches, I was so drawn to him that I want to learn more him, I am really hungry for Jesus, I order the 3 or 4 books n am getting them in couple of days! Thank you Stan you are the right source of accuracy to learn more about Lonnie, Amazing I got to learned in just few days watching I learned all the real friends in Lonnie’s life, trip missions just incredible journey.
Now in Heaven, he is enjoying the glorious Presence of our Lord n Savior, FOR ETERNITY!Halleluyah!! How cool is that!! God Bless you all .
This is God thing! By this movie, also not all accurately but has direct me to learn about Lonnie,
the power of the Holy Spirit, n definitely to increased my faith n love more our Lord Jesus Christ! Thank you!♥️✝️🙏
They are excellent books
😅
Just read the Bible. Pray and ask the Lord to open your eyes and heart with His light as you begin. Get a very simple version in everyday language. I am a missionary for Jesus and have given away hundreds of Bibles, especially the Living Bible. I highly recommend it. When you grow in Christ, the KJV Bible is best for study. Pastor Chuck Smith teaching thru the Bible are on UA-cam. Start with the Book of Luke and then just go to Acts and rinishe each book following. Then read Matthew, Mark, and John. I hope this helps you or someone else reading this. I will pray for you! 😉
You're not hungry for Jesus, you're hungry for Lonnie. That's sick and cult like behavior.
Thank you for this truth.
God bless you both ♥
We cannot separate the Word and the Spirit. C'mon people!
Agree.
You are so right.
However, it’s safer for some folk’s temperament or traditions to avoid “wildfire” because it’s out of their league of understanding & they can’t deal with it. Then there’s others who doubt God is in a meeting place unless signs and wonders are happening at every moment. Let God be God & let us learn to be content in Him whether He chooses to sit in our little box for a moment or he doesn’t. Usually God simply ignores our boxes for Him. But we can shut off His flow with our own wall of unbelief or pride that he didn’t do it our way.
@@ebnphlo agreed.
Come on people now. Smile on your brother. Everybody get together try to love one another right now.
I think you need to do a movie with Lonnie's story. ❤️ The movie was wonderful to show the souls that got saved during that time period and God pouring out His spirit using Lonnie!
lonnie frisbee, “life n death of a hippie preacher” check it out been out for at least 10 plus years !!!
Just order his 3 books, they will have far more detail that any 2 hr movie
I'm so grateful for this interview. The movie really made me curious about Lonnie. I started digging on the internet. Thank you
Thank you both for this
Glad this interview was done to bring more of the Truth of this movement that God used mightily, where many came to Jesus Christ because of it. Evangelist always get outcast, and it’s to be expected because of the gifts they flow in. It’s Real… Seen this over the years many times. So, I can relate totally. God bless!
Saw the movie and loved it. It must have been a monumental task to try and cover and edit that time period under 2hrs.
Such a great interview!
Great as always, Robby!
Amen I have generalized anxiety disorder and Jesus is using me in prayer ministry
That’s wonderful and ofc He is. Courage is facing and overcoming fear! Keep pressing in
Some of us are kept “in secret” and He greatly values you! What the church doesn’t understand Jesus does. I also struggle with that and I just told God “no one gets me but You” then I saw your post. 😊 Makes me feel not alone. God is using you. ♥️
My 29 year old son is literally crippled by social anxiety, general anxiety and agoraphobia. He was born again one year ago in January but has recently decided that he's not saved because he doesn't have any fruit and although he has pleaded with God to help him, it doesn't seem like anything is happening so now he's convinced that he's going to hell.
I pray for him and I know that God loves him even more than I do. My heart is breaking. What can I do to help him?
@@deborahszafraniec4829 That sounds like a very familiar chess game, just like the one in my head. Very familiar! Daily, I fight the voice that says “you’re no good to the world and the world is no good to you,“ “you’re useless, have lost your salt, have no fruit, and God has given up on you.“ The devil backs us into a corner like a pawn, isolated and alone, a leper. Then he torments us by letting us think we have so disappointed God that even God is beyond helping us. What a lie! And the devil confirms his lie with people who don’t understand, who leave us, or judge and avoid us. And every time they do we back further into the corner, our cave, where we isolate and suffer. It is incredibly painful. I am going to begin praying for your son this morning. Can I give you my email?
First of all I would say to him, “don’t confuse fruit with good works.” If you think you’re not producing fruit because you’re not handing out tracts, not sharing your faith with neighbors, and etc. you are so mistaken. These are works. One prayer can move mountains. Think of Anna, who was an old woman without family, probably felt invisible, and useless. But every day she went to the temple. When I am doing badly my daily struggle is simply to show up at “the temple.“ To approach God in prayer, and worship, And praise. This is what Anna did. She did it for decades. You know, God did not need people to pray that Jesus would come. God‘s plan to send him had stood from the beginning of time. However, like all things, he partners with us and appoints some of us who live in anonymity to pray for his will to be done. Like Anna, whose service was without fanfare. She served the Lord directly and he regarded her as a great woman of faith. This was her service, but not her fruit. Fruit is the character of God that “Rubs up off on us” from our hanging out with God. It’s the sweet aroma of love, patience, peace, etc. that comes from spending time with him. Fruit is not works. Our works don’t save us.
I was happy to hear Lonnie's background from his brother great to see him
Great interview guys!!! Ted Wise, Love Story, Second Chapter of Acts, still in my heart.
Great interview! Thank you! GOD Bless you😊
Thank you for telling us more about Lonnie’s life and ministry.
So important about allowing the Lord to be the leader of the services and our meeting(1970s) and I decided i wanted to dedicate my future to Jesus... I thought I had to go to Bible College to serve Him correctly. One of the worst decisions of my life. They taught by the letter of the law and not by the Spirit. After being on cloud nine with Jesus .. so so happy and excited about my faith. ... after a year and a half at the college I had a mental and emotional breakdown... found out later it happened to several people there. To get accreditation they had piled on too many requirements and Christ was not at the center... I did not feel His presence but by faith I know He had not left me... it took a while but I recovered because my roots had gone down deep. The Unfailing love of the Lord and His Faithfulness.
Wow, what an awesome interview, thank you for" filling in the blanks" Robby Dawkins and Stan Frisbee! I will be recommending this and the next part of the interview to others for sure!
I love every bit of this! Yes, you are correct! The movie made me want to know everything about Lonnie Frisbee and I have now ordered these 3 books written by Lonnie himself. This is such a great show! And Lonnie’s brother Stan is a very wise and honest man♥️♥️♥️
Me too
Lonnie was a false prophet.
Me too… I had never heard of him and I went searching for more info!
The books are really good. He is very transparent about his strengths and flaws. There have been many inaccuracies about things in his life that people have used as an excuse for whitewashing him out of the history of many church networks and movements God used him help birth.
@@dwaynemoore8726 I can’t wait!
Loni was the catalyst. For sure. I was there. Barefoot on the floor in Costa Mesa Calvary Chapel worshipping Jesus with Love Song and I got baptized in a pool, tons of us there but idk if it was Chuck's pool. Funny, I actually got saved in the same atmosphere, believers invited me to a pool party in Orange County somewhere 😆 ♥️oh wow I remember when they sang Little Country Church on the Edge of Town!🥰 thank you for the interview..I think I'll be back😊 I didn't stay when Loni moved on.. a home church started from my Highschool where I got baptized in the Holy Spirit ♥️
I wish you would have discussed his Christian awakening in Haight Asbury at The House of Acts which nurtured him in his faith before his association with Chuck Smith. Great interview . I am delighted to hear Lonnie's brother's recollections
Yep, I was intrigued when Lonnie mentioned what he was a part of in Haight-Ashbury in the movie.
*PREQUEL, ANYONE???* :P
Amazing interview. God bless you.
Thank you from Sweden. So right so god !
