Podcasts about Lukewarm

Lukewarmness isn't neutral—it's dangerous and spiritually misleading. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar examine the powerful message to the church in Laodicea and encourage believers to examine their hearts. Has your passion diminished? In Revelation, Christ rebukes a self-reliant church that no longer depends on Him for strength or purpose. The call isn't about striving more. It's about surrender, trust, and returning to intimacy with the Lord who pursues us.The guys explain how Laodicea's water supply often arrived lukewarm, making it unfit for drinking. That same unpleasant temperature reflected the church's spiritual condition and lack of power. Lukewarm water, like lukewarm faith, served no purpose. It symbolized a church that had lost its spiritual vitality and didn't even realize it. They explore how the church is called to be salt and light, a shining source of hope and truth in a dark, dying world. That mission requires zeal, not apathy or self-confidence. Good works don't save, but they are the fruit of saving grace and evidence of transformed hearts. We are His workmanship, created in Christ for good works that bring Him glory. True zeal isn't about chaos or hype; it's steady, humble obedience flowing from a heart filled with gratitude for the gospel and shaped by the Word.Mark reflects on how God speaks to the heart, not through empty words or outward performance. Lip service doesn't move Him. It's in real, desperate prayer and sincere repentance that transformation occurs. Repentance is sweet, hope-filled, and full of promise. It's not about guilt; it's about turning fully toward Christ with open hands. Ray shares how, as a new believer, he was consumed with a desire to share the gospel with everyone around him. That same fire is available to all of us who ask.Zeal is contagious. When believers live fully devoted to Christ, the lives around them are changed. Many hesitate to apply that same passion to their faith. Some believers go all in for hobbies and careers, but when it comes to eternity, they pull back. The Christian life isn't easy or casual. It demands endurance, discipline, and spiritual awareness. Christians must be grounded in Scripture, guided by truth, and surrounded by people who speak life into their walk. Oscar brings it back to Revelation. Salvation is not earned. It's a gift of grace through faith alone. When you truly see the beauty of God's mercy, your affections are reshaped, and zeal becomes the natural response. Christ is worthy of your whole life—every moment, every heartbeat, every ounce of devotion you have to give.Send us a textThanks for listening!

Today we look at the last letter to the seven churches and we see the warning that Jesus gives the church of Laodicea. It's a warning to stop living lukewarm for Jesus and instead choose to respond to His invitation. For more information on The Gathering, check out our website thegathering.online  

If you've ever felt like you've drifted from God, like that fire you once had for Him has faded, this one's for you. I know what it's like to think you're too far gone, to believe you have to “fix yourself” before you can come back to Him. That was me—stuck in shame, projecting my own feelings about myself onto God, convinced He had distanced Himself from me. But Exodus 34:6 completely shifted my view of Him. This is the first time in the Bible God describes Himself, and what He says will wreck every lie you've believed about how He sees you. In this episode, we'll walk through the context of that verse, what it meant to the original audience, and why it still changes everything for us today. My prayer is that by the end, you'll see Him more clearly and come back to Him with your head held high, knowing He still loves you, still chooses you, and is still faithful—no matter what.

In this powerful and unfiltered episode of Compelled, Emma Mae McDaniel opens up Revelation 3 to challenge believers with the words Jesus spoke to the church in Laodicea. With clarity and compassion, Emma invites us to confront lukewarm living—not out of shame, but out of love. Jesus says, “I correct and discipline everyone I love,” and that's exactly the heart behind this message. Emma reminds us that God sees it all, yet still draws near, offering grace and truth that calls us into deeper intimacy with Him. This episode is a wake-up call for those who feel stuck in comfort, indifference, or spiritual passivity—and an encouragement to rise up, repent, and live fully compelled by God's love.

Finding Spiritual Renewal: Lessons from Laodicea explores the dangers of lukewarm faith and self-reliance in our spiritual lives. Discover how the ancient Church of Laodicea's story in Revelation provides powerful insights for believers today who may have drifted into spiritual complacency.Learn what it truly means to be spiritually lukewarm - not about emotional temperature but about effectiveness in God's kingdom. Just as Laodicea's water was neither healing nor refreshing, lukewarm believers fail to impact those around them. Understand the dangerous trap of self-deception that led this materially wealthy church to believe they were spiritually rich when they were actually 'wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked.'Explore how Jesus reveals Himself as the Amen, the Faithful Witness, and the Beginning of Creation to challenge this self-sufficient church. Identify warning signs of spiritual lukewarmness in your own life: self-sufficiency, spiritual blindness, independence rather than dependence, and keeping Jesus outside your heart.Discover the three-part solution Jesus offers: gold refined in fire (tested faith), white clothes (Christ's righteousness), and eye salve (spiritual vision). Understand the powerful image of Jesus standing outside, knocking on the door of His own church - respecting our free will while desiring intimate fellowship.This message challenges us to examine our spiritual temperature and take practical steps toward renewal: inviting Jesus into every area of life, examining self-talk that leads to self-deception, and cultivating God-confidence instead of self-confidence. Perfect for anyone feeling spiritually dry, self-reliant, or disconnected from God's presence.

In this bold episode of The Catholic Couple Podcast, we ask the hard question: Has the modern Catholic Church become too soft, too nice, and afraid to speak the hard truth?

Hosted by Pastor Ed TaylorOriginating from GRACE FM in Aurora, Colorado, Calvary Live is a one hour program that answers questions about issues surrounding life, godliness, and living for Jesus Christ in our current ever changing culture.

Read Online“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty deeds done in your midst had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would long ago have repented in sackcloth and ashes. But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.” Matthew 11:21–22Chorazin and Bethsaida were Jewish towns that Jesus visited frequently to preach and to perform many “mighty deeds.” They were located just north of His city of residence, Capernaum. Tyre and Sidon were pagan coastal cities northeast of Chorazin and Bethsaida, in modern-day Lebanon, and were towns known for their immoral living. Though Jesus did not spend much time in those cities, He did visit them at times. During Jesus' first recorded visit there, recall His encounter with the Syrophoenician woman who begged Him to heal her daughter (Matthew 15:21–28). The Gospel passage quoted above took place prior to Jesus making that journey.Why was Jesus so harsh toward the towns He spent so much of His time in. Why did He rebuke Chorazin, Bethsaida and Capernaum? To answer this, it's important to remember that Jesus spent most of His time preaching to the “lost sheep of the house of Israel.” In other words, His primary mission during His public ministry was to share the Gospel with those who were descendants of Abraham and had been entrusted with the Law of Moses, the teachings of the prophets and the liturgical rites. For that reason, Jesus not only preached with perfection to these people, He also did miracle after miracle. And though there were many who did believe in Him and became His disciples, there were many others who were indifferent or who flatly refused to believe in Him. Today, Chorazin, Bethsaida and Capernaum could be seen as symbols of those Catholics who were born and raised in the faith and were given good formation by their parents and others. Many parents whose children have gone astray from the faith wonder what they did wrong. But the truth is that even Jesus Himself was rejected, despite His perfect preaching, perfect charity and undeniable miracles. And the same happens today. There are many who, despite being raised within the holy faith given to us by Christ Himself, reject that faith and turn a blind eye to the Gospel and the Church.Jesus' rebuke of those towns should echo today in the minds of those who, despite being given so much in regard to a good upbringing, have rejected God. Of course, that rejection is not always absolute and total. More often, it is a rejection in degrees. First, the rejection comes in the form of missing Mass. Then moral compromises. Then a lack of faith. And eventually confusion, doubt and a complete loss of faith sets in.If you are one who has started down the road of becoming more and more lukewarm in your faith, then the rebuke of these towns by Jesus should be understood to also be directed at you in love. “Every one to whom much is given, of him will much be required…” (Luke 12:48). Therefore, to those who have been taught the faith well, much is expected. And when we fail to live up to that which is demanded of us by God out of love, a holy rebuke is exactly what we need. Reflect, today, upon whether the rebuke Jesus issues toward these towns is also issued toward you. Have you been blessed with a good formation in the faith? If so, have you done all you can to help nourish that faith and grow in your love of God? Or have you allowed your faith to dim, to become lukewarm and to begin to wither and die? If you have been given much, have been raised in the faith and have been privileged with good examples in your life, then know God expects much of you. Answer that high calling that is given to you and respond to God with all your heart. My passionate Jesus, You poured out Your heart and soul through Your preaching to the people of Israel. Although many accepted You, many others rejected You. I thank You for the privilege I have been given to hear Your holy Word preached to me. Help me to respond to You with all my heart so that I will be counted among those who listen and believe. Jesus, I trust in You.  Image: Day of Judgement by Lawrence OP, license CC BY-NC-ND 2.0.Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

“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 week's 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.  

In the third hour, Matt Spiegel and Laurence Holmes listened and reacted to Cubs general manager Carter Hawkins' comments about several notable players on the roster during his appearance on the Mully & Haugh Show on Tuesday morning.

Hasselbeck made the remarks during a recent appearance on The Herd on FS1.

Are you truly all in, or just going through the motions? Drawing from Revelation 3:14-22, this message dives into what it means to be "lukewarm" in faith. We'll explore the characteristics of the unbeliever, seeker, believer, and disciple, contrasting them with the indifferent and those who have turned away. Discover why a casual approach to faith can be dangerous and how to embrace a vibrant, active relationship with God.

In this bold and Spirit-led episode of Compelled, Emma Mae McDaniel delivers a heartfelt and challenging message from Revelation 3, calling believers out of spiritual complacency. Drawing from Jesus' letter to the church in Laodicea, Emma unpacks the meaning behind lukewarm faith—what it looked like then and how it still shows up in our lives today. With powerful imagery, historical context, and unflinching honesty, she reminds us that God's discipline is rooted in love and that His correction is an invitation to closeness, not condemnation. This episode isn't filled with warm fuzzies—it's a wake-up call to rise, repent, and live fully devoted to the One who knows us completely and still calls us His own.
