Ever feel like your soul needs a vacation? You're in the right place. The Jesus Over Everything Summer Reset is a collection of our favorite hot-topic discussions and unfiltered episodes with Lisa Whittle and friends. Over the next few weeks, we'll be diving into what it looks like to truly reset your mind, your body, and your soul – all with Jesus at the center.  Kicking off the first four episodes on resetting your soul, this show starts with a hard and honest question: Is comfortable Christianity even real? Lisa Whittle doesn't think so, and she's not afraid to say it. Comfort is everywhere we look; in what we wear, who we spend time with, and increasingly, how we follow Jesus. But comfort and true discipleship are rarely the same thing, and the cost of confusing the two is higher than most of us realize. If you've been feeling a tug on your heart to go deeper in your relationship with God – this topic is for you. Listen in to learn more: Why “comfort” is the enemy you don't see coming Comfortable Christianity defined: what it looks like in your everyday life The top 3 things comfort is costs you What does it actually require to have an “all-in life” for Jesus?

Today, we face the harsh reality: America is unraveling, not by accident, but by outright rebellion against Biblical truth. Paul M. Neuberger brings the fire naming the spiritual war, exposing the compromise, the cowardice, the entertainment-addicted church, and the silent Christian majority.This isn't soft faith. This is costly faith.We name the cost: ridicule, criticism, rejection maybe from your workplace, your friends, or your own home.But here's the larger truth: Jesus is still on the throne. The Gospel is still undefeated. Revival starts when bold believers—men and women like you—refuse to stay silent.So, what will YOU do when your moment comes? Will you be lukewarm, or will you stand and fight?Buckle up. This episode is raw, real, and rooted in truth."So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth." –Revelation 3:16Episode Highlights10:04 - Christianity was never meant to be hidden privately while culture burns publicly. Right now, many believers are watching society collapse morally and spiritually while remaining silent because they fear rejection, criticism, or conflict. But silence has consequences. Passive Christianity creates spiritual weakness. Lukewarm faith produces compromise.29:39 - One of the greatest mistakes that Christians make today is believing America's problems are primarily political. They're not… At its very core, this is a war between truth and deception, between light and darkness, between God's design and rebellion against God's design.46:07 - Standing for truth may cost us something moving forward. Some believers are going to face criticism. Some are going to lose opportunities. Some are going to be mocked, rejected, misunderstood, or labeled as extreme… The question isn't whether following Christ is going to cost something. The real question is whether Jesus is worth it to you.Connect with Paul M. NeubergerWebsite

You've heard the word "lukewarm" your whole Christian life — but what if most people have completely misunderstood what Jesus actually meant? In this episode of Fuel for the Harvest, Nathan sits down with co-host Charlie to dig into one of the most well-known — and most misinterpreted — passages in all of Scripture: Revelation 3 and the letter to the church at Laodicea.Spoiler: Jesus wasn't saying he'd rather you be lost than mediocre. The real meaning is far more convicting — and far more hopeful — than that.In this episode, Nathan and Charlie unpack:Why the common interpretation of "hot or cold" is probably wrongThe fascinating historical and geographical context behind Laodicea's water supplyWhy lukewarmness is really about being useless to God's purposes — not being spiritually "in the middle"How pride and comfort combine to create dangerous spiritual blindnessWhat it means that Jesus is standing at the door knocking — from the outsideThe difference between being a bucket and being a conduit of God's graceThe powerful promise Jesus makes to anyone who will open the door and repentCharlie is a Forge speaker and a featured voice across the first 200 episodes of Fuel for the Harvest.

“Lukewarm” isn’t really a desirable trait in, well, just about anything. After all, is there anyone who actually looks forward to a lukewarm cup of coffee in the morning? But when Jesus uses this word, what he has in mind is something far worse. In this message from Revelation 3, Pastor J.D. takes us through John’s last three letters to the churches. Though Jesus doesn’t have anything negative to say to the church at Philadelphia, he has plenty to say to the congregation of Laodicea, and it begins with his visceral reaction to their halfhearted Christianity. We, of course, have to be careful not to fall into the same trap: claiming the name of Jesus with our lips but living lives that are in no way distinct from the world.

You have been called to be set apart for Jesus like a lily among thorns! 1 Peter 1:15-16: But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”

The modern Christian church has not merely drifted, it has fallen. It has not simply updated its methods, it's abandoned its message. The church that once stood on the street corner and thundered, “Jesus Christ Is The Answer!” has now become a religious focus group asking the world, “What's the question?” That is not progress, that's apostasy. The Bible says there would be a falling away before the time of the end, and we are watching it unfold in real time with pastors leading prayer over a golden statue of Donald Trump.“Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first,” 2 Thessalonians 2:3 (KJB)“As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.” Revelation 3:19,20 (KJB)On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, Paul did not warn that the last days would be marked by empty church buildings only. He warned of something far more deceptive: churches full of people, full of activity, full of money, full of programs, full of branding, full of music, full of “community,” and yet void of Bible truth. That is the true horror of Laodicea. It doesn't look dead to the world, it looks successful. The Laodicean Church in Revelation 3 is not poor in money, it's poor in truth. It is not naked in fashion, it's naked in righteousness. It is not blind in technology, it's blind in doctrine. It doesn't lack confidence, it lacks Christ, JESUS Christ. The last days church has no need of the King James Bible because it has a hundred modern, and differing, translations. It has no need of preaching because it has TED Talk sermonettes. It has no need of hymns because it has worship bands and fog machines. It has no need of repentance because it has therapy. It has no need of doctrine because it has “conversation”, “sharing your feelings” and “coping classes”. It has no need of biblical separation because it wants cultural relevance. It has no need of prophecy because it has purpose-driven optimism. We need more negative preaching. It has no need of the old paths because it has market research. But worst of all, it has no need of Jesus Christ standing in the midst, because it has built a church system where He is outside the door, knocking to get back in. Today you show you, in no uncertain terms, the unimaginable depth of the falling away, and the chaotic condition of the last days and lukewarm Laodicean Church.

Quiet Quitting: No Market for Lukewarm Revelation 3:1-6 Pastor Justin Grifford

Believers who are walking with Jesus have a warm temperature that continually rises. Are you walking with Jesus today as you should be? Do you need to ask yourself, What's Wrong With Being Lukewarm?

In the Kingdom, "Fine" is the waiting room for "Dead." We can be a "fine" church or a “fine” people and headed towards spiritual decline. We can have the money or the budget, the building and the house … But Jesus says that being "fine" or “LUKEWARM” makes Him want to vomit.

This is your wake-up call to start growing spiritually.

Apathy rarely shows itself openly, but it silently dulls conviction, softens courage, and weakens testimony over time. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar challenge believers to consider whether their once burning zeal for God has gradually faded into comfort and indifference. They explain that apathy is a slow drift—a growing complacency about sin, the lost, and God's glory. They warn that spiritual indifference is dangerous because it often cloaks itself in routine, distraction, and even outward activity. Believers must continually ask the Lord to search their hearts, put on the full armor of God, and stay alert against subtle compromise. The gospel can be offensive, so courage is needed to speak and act despite possible consequences.The guys explore how apathy often grows out of comfort and self-sufficiency. Looking to Revelation, they note that spiritual lukewarmness is described as ineffective for God's purposes, a condition rooted in ease rather than persecution. Comfort dulls urgency, while discomfort exposes dependency on God. Apathy toward the lost often stems from forgetfulness, forgetting the reality of judgment and the call to encourage fellow believers. The disciples themselves were prone to forget, proving this struggle is not new. The guys emphasize that self-defense in conflict can reveal hidden idols, and accusations can become opportunities for growth. The guys warn against a sentimental view of Jesus that neglects His authority and rule. Christ demands submission and rewards those who earnestly seek Him with more of Himself. Zeal comes from knowledge, recognizing the need for God and actively pursuing Him through prayer and Scripture. They caution against constant noise and spiritual distractions that mimic godliness without creating depth. Silence before God, intentional prayer, and a willingness to face fear are crucial for reigniting passion. Carrying gospel tracts, using free moments to share faith, and refusing to listen to fear foster a lifestyle focused on others rather than self-centered comfort.Finally, the guys remind listeners that the gospel not only saves but also sustains. Christians never graduate from relying on grace, and spiritual maturity deepens that awareness. Self-assessment, intentional remembrance, and consistent time in God's Word protect against drifting away. Today is the day to respond to His call because tomorrow is not guaranteed. By turning down the noise, running to Christ instead of chaos, and choosing diligence over distraction, believers can shift from apathy to fervor and live lives filled with holy desire and bold testimony.Send us Fan MailThanks for listening!

In this series, we are focusing on the first three chapters of Revelation, looking at the seven letters to seven churches. In the messages Pastor Eric Robertson teaches from the letter to Laodicea. HistorySam Storms: "Laodicea was a wealthy city, perhaps the wealthiest in all of Phrygia... Tacitus wrote: 'Laodicea arose from the ruins by the strength of her own resources...' It was known not only for its wealth (a banking center), but also for its linen and wool industry (especially black sheep) and its medical school. Its most famous product was an eye ointment..."Rev 3:14In a church of unquestionable wealth and worldly success, Jesus reminds them that He is the source of all life.Rev 3:15–16"Hot" and "cold" don't mean "on fire" or spiritually dead—that wouldn't make sense.Laodicea was six miles from Hierapolis (hot springs) and eleven miles from Colossae (cold, fresh water).Hot = medicinal.Cold = refreshing.Lukewarm = worthless.Rev 3:17"No doubt part of her problem was the inability to distinguish between material and spiritual prosperity." — G. E. LaddRev 3:18–22Sitting beside Jesus is the real status symbol—not a car or a title.What Timeless Truths Can We Take from the Laodiceans1. Don't Confuse Comfort with CallingOur culture teaches that human flourishing is the removal of pain and discomfort. In pursuing comfort, many of us—including myself—miss spiritual growth and opportunity.Culture: Money / Security / Success = ComfortKingdom: Discomfort (pruning) = GrowthYou can be comfortable, or you can grow.Rev 3:19 — "Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent."John 15:2The more I have, the less I pray.The Kingdom doesn't call us to be comfortable—it calls us to be faithful.2. Don't Confuse Activity with TransformationEven the world knows busyness ≠ productivity. We assume spiritual growth comes with church attendance—but it doesn't.The Laodiceans likely had great facilities and busy schedules, yet Jesus calls them "wretched, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked."Transformation happens when we humble ourselves and rely on God's power.3. Don't Confuse Blessing with OwnershipThe Laodiceans were likely the most financially stable church in Asia Minor, but they tied success to their own ability. They hoarded instead of helping.Why was nearby Philadelphia the poorest church?We are stewards, not owners.A church doesn't rise to the level of its branding; it falls to the level of its generosity.Christians don't accumulate blessing—we circulate it.How Do We Respond?Invest in spiritual commodities, not just natural ones.Gold, white clothes, eye salve—the very things they thought they had. They were investing in the wrong economy.The Kingdom is an economy of generosity: feeding the poor, preaching the Gospel, healing the sick, and setting captives free.You can be rich in everything that fades and bankrupt in everything that lasts.Are we building our castle—or God's Kingdom?

Who Do You Say Jesus Is? If someone asked you today, "Who is Jesus to you—personally?"… how would you answer? In this week's message from our Journey of Stones series, Pastor Vicki Harrison challenges us with one of the most important questions Jesus ever asked. This isn't about what others believe—it's about what you believe. Be sure to watch the full service video below or listen through the sermon audio player as you reflect on this life-defining truth. The Question That Changes Everything In Matthew 16, Jesus asks His disciples: "Who do you say I am?" It's a question that cuts through assumptions, traditions, and secondhand faith. We often rely on: What our family believes What culture says What the church teaches But Jesus makes it personal. Your faith cannot be borrowed. Your answer cannot be outsourced. At some point, every follower of Jesus must answer this question for themselves. A Bold Confession, Not a Safe Answer When the disciples hesitate, Peter speaks up: "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God." This wasn't a safe or easy statement—it was bold, risky, and deeply personal. To say this meant: Jesus is Savior — the only one who forgives sin Jesus is Lord — the one who leads every part of your life Jesus is God — not just a teacher, but divine Jesus is Creator — over all people, not just those we agree with Pastor Vicki reminds us that too often, we settle for vague or silent faith. But Jesus isn't asking for safe answers—He's calling for clear, courageous confession. Your Faith Is a Stone in God's Church Jesus responds to Peter: "On this rock I will build my church…" The "rock" is not just Peter—it's his confession of faith. Every believer who boldly declares Jesus as Lord adds another "stone" to the foundation of the Church. From Peter… to the early church… to generations of faithful disciples… to you. Your faith matters. Your voice matters. Your witness matters. It's Time to Stand and Be Counted Pastor Vicki gives a clear challenge: Vague is no longer enough. Lukewarm is no longer acceptable. The world needs bold, authentic followers of Jesus. Your family needs it Your coworkers need it Your neighbors need it Your children and grandchildren need it And the church needs it too. So the question remains: Who do you say Jesus is—and are you willing to say it out loud? Take Your Next Step What would it look like for you to boldly live out your faith this week? Share your story with someone Speak openly about your faith Surrender an area of your life to Jesus as Lord Join a Group and grow with others Know Jesus. Grow Faith. Go Multiply. At New Hope, we believe faith is more than belief—it's a life of discipleship. Know Jesus — personally and deeply Grow Faith — through community and obedience Go Multiply — by boldly sharing your faith This is how God builds His Church—one life, one confession, one "stone" at a time.

Christian churches in America are in imminent danger and don't realize it. Most churches boast of growing attendance, relevance, and success, yet the glory and Spirit of God departing from our gatherings is a reality. Drastic change is critical; or we risk Jesus' words to the Laodicean church happening to us: "I will spit you out of my mouth." Let's look together at the absolute worldly nightmare most American churches have become and restore our local fellowships through repentance and humility. It's time to stop business-as-usual church and give the glory to God, not ourselves.Text us for prayer, comments, or ministry questions.Connect with us at:   concerningthetimes.com

Based on the book Crazy Love by Francis Chan - Chapter 7Are you playing it safe? Meaning, are you being lazy? Are you holding back from God? Are you scared or fearful of surrendering all the way to Him? I think you will find it is more fearful to play it safe than to pay the cost and give your all to HIM. It's a little dangerous but super rewarding in many ways!

The premise (simple, but the film isn't): A privileged but messy NYC teenager, Lisa (Anna Paquin), causes a moment of distraction that leads to a bus hitting and killing a woman (Allison Janney). In the immediate aftermath she lies to the police—claiming the light was green—helping the driver (Mark Ruffalo) avoid consequences. The rest of the film is Lisa spiralling through guilt, grief, anger, and a need to “make it right,” while the city and everyone around her keep moving.What we talked about:Peak New York energy: classrooms full of political debate, constant noise, constant arguing, constant opinion. It feels like a movie made by New York about New York.The accident scene is brutal and effective: the sound design, the “oh God she's under the bus—no she isn't” reveal, the shock of the detached leg detail.Lisa as a catalyst/chaos engine: she's manipulative early (cheating, playing people), then becomes obsessive—fixated on getting the driver off the road.Adults failing her, repeatedly:Her mum is emotionally absent (Broadway ambitions, new relationship), and the mother–daughter conflict goes nuclear (including a shocking insult).The system shrugs: the driver is exonerated, and later the legal route becomes a cold negotiation rather than “justice.”The legal thread: the case can only move via next-of-kin dynamics; settlement money becomes the lever; but discipline for Ruffalo's driver is off the table because it implies guilt.Matt Damon “week” irony: Damon is barely in it—yet appears in the trailer—making the pick feel like a forced “hipster” choice.The uncomfortable Damon subplot: a teacher boundary-crossing storyline that lands badly and makes the film feel grimier, not deeper.Performances / cast notes: Big ensemble, lots of “oh wow, they're in this” energy: Paquin carries it; Ruffalo is an outright asshole; Allison Janney's presence is seismic even with limited time; plus Jean Reno, Matthew Broderick, and more orbiting the core. Pacing / vibe: Overlong, heavy, and (for us) pretentious rather than profound—with the most compelling parts being the accident's immediacy and the moral rot that follows. Theatrical cut runs about 149 minutes, with a longer 186-minute extended cut also out there. Verdict from us: Lukewarm-to-negative recommend. Strong craft and acting in places, but frustratingly long, emotionally abrasive, and not remotely worth it as a “Matt Damon week” entry.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

An onsite visit to the church in Laodicea explains why Jesus had only condemnation for this church. “Lukewarm” described their water system and their compromised devotion of Him. How could they be so half-hearted towards Jesus, the Alpha and Omega, the Faithful Witness, the Amen Himself? Listen with your whole heart to discover how not to lose your fervor for God.
