"Right now, the culture is influencing the Christian Church more than the Christian Church is influencing the culture. So with that in mind, I can't take my cues from the culture. I can't even take my cues from the Church. I've got to take my cues directly from God through His Word." - Dr. George Barna
Absolutely Right 👉 only the word of the Bible is full Truth. Don't forget to ask Jesus for help upstanding it to 🙏 Pray for wisdom also. Thanks for your Truth. ❤
I had 3 sons in the 70’s. I was a “newly born christian” and knew little about the Bible but read it everyday. One day I read that this Word was good to instruct my boys so that they could grow to a perfect human being. That day I started to read the Bible with them every night before bed. We would read and then talk about whatever we had read. Then, we prayed together. We also prayed before going to school and always blessed them (in high voice) when I took them to school just before they entered the building. They waited for me to say all the blessing in Numbers 6:24-26! This went on until they started going to University! They grew up with faith in God and in Jesus and are now blessing their children in the same way.
It’s no wonder the enemy is dividing the family. He doesn’t want the spiritual influence of grandparents on their grandchildren. If you are like me and have an adult child who has estranged him/herself from you - don’t give up! Fight that spiritual battle through prayer! The eternity of our children and grandchildren is at stake!
Amen on prayers for our children and their children that are our grandchildren!!!!!! Oh how heavy is this.... yes I have had many hurdles with this very action!!!! One of the devil's biggest triggers....I have been on a limb and about to fall.... And Jesus Christ is The Best Friend I have And he brings me up and embraces me with Love and encouragement and I am praying for my family always and they all will be ANSWERED!!!! Glory To GOD
Praise God.. how wonderful is the truth of God, it is our families, our beautiful children and Grandchildren that God gave to us. Thank you Pastor Allen and Dr Barna for speaking the truth. We all need to be together on this. I love the people Pastor Allen that you know that have wisdom and knowledge over certain issues we are facing today. You are a man of integrity.
Yes, we as parents need to take this serious and raise our children with a biblical view. This is the only way, to make the world a better place. We are facing the consequences of us not taking our walk with God seriously. Children need God more than anything. God help us.
Another GREAT moment at the 14min mark. Barna is spot on. Bravo Zulu and kudos to him for making that commitment. For those who don't know and haven't heard about them, I recommend two GREAT things that speak to just what Barna is talking about. Discipleship! Read "It's Good To Be A Man" and watch the movie "The Forge"!! Men NEED to step up. It men would take the things said in just those two things we would change this country and the world!!
LOVE the first 4min of this video. Jack defines Biblical Christianity and he does it is a straight-forward, no-holds barred manner. A VERY rare thing today.
We Need The Holy Spirit in order to teach our children!!!! God has promised , " if we ask we will receive" God wants to give us The Baptism of The Holy Spirit..... By His Son Jesus Christ
We have to ask for it, ask for wisdom ask for understanding, seek , knock, ask, till it happens, we are soldiers of the kings army, we have no clue what to do, that's a problem. Pray, seek knock ask, ask for a clean heart and a right spirit, ask for our households ask for a renewing of our land, of our hearts of our children, stand up and stand firm. The Lord will fight for us if we recognize we are all sinners and have fallen short, don't run like Adam did, run to God, confess, ask for forgiveness, He didn't say confess to the world so they will judge you, He said confess to Him, tell Him you recognize you can't do anything without Him. Nothing! Call out to Him, before it's to late, He loves us, good bad and ugly He loves us, He died for all of us took on our sins and now He's looking to see if you love Him for helping you.
I am begging God to help me as I have grown so discouraged and fearful and I am struggling. I very much desire to make a difference as I battle so many issues and challenges that seem well impossible and I know in my heart all this guilt and shame are not from the Lord but I also know I can do NOTHING without the Holy Spirit power.. I need Jesus to rebuke the enemy that is lurking in every direction I look. Lord bring me the grace to Stand and be the witness to my family for I feel like running away and hiding most of the time, please help me in Jesus mighty name, Amen! 🙏👆🏼✝️😔
..i believe very soon there is coming restrictions for posts about Jesus on line and that our time to teach others truth is running out. discernment is so important so you don't believe everything that "seems" Christ centered..thank you mr. jackson for your part in furthering the truth.🕊
Unbelievable information. It is heart breaking. As a grandparent I have felt God telling me my reason for living (I'm 83) is to be an influence on my grandchildren towards Spiritual Development. Thank you for this podcast Pastor Allen. Your teaching/preaching has changed my whole life. God bless you.
Thank you for this sobering truth and challenge to us as parents and grandparents. Thankful we serve an Almighty God who can do more than we can ask or imagine. . may we be found faithful
WORD!!! Speaking the truth in LOVE!!! We didn't attend a church or raise our children as disciples of Christ, but GOD is going to use us now to influence Ezekiel (meaning "strength of God") our grandson, who I believe is going to lead his parents to Christ!!!! Thank you Dr Barna and Pastor Jackson for being true disciples & warrior's for Christ
Ty pastor Allen. Our culture today need pastors that will speak up against our evil culture I believe that’s why ppl vote the way they do, they aren’t being taught Biblical worldview. Hosea 4:6
Wonderful interview. Sure would like to introduce you to my church. Our childrens and youth ministry is on fire! God is moving and reaching parents as well.
Thank you for this, Pastor Allen and Mr. Barna!! We are so blessed by all the incredible resources at WOC that are helping us disciple and train our children! Just finished working on Advanced Track with our middle child this evening. Lord, help us to take you and your Word seriously and help us to love these young ones in our charge so well that we are able to point them and lead them to you! 🙏🏼
BIRTHING CERTIFICATE RENOUNCED EVERYONE!!! MY NAME IS NOW CHILD OF THE RISEN KING JESUS CHRIST!!!! I LOVE U ALL!!! PLEASE BE KIND N GOOD TO EACHOTHER!!!!!
THE HOLY SPIRIT is the Strength in fighting Satan's evil and fallen angles. THE LORD Has All the GLORY and THANKS. Satan's evil spirits and demons are all fallen angles.... Now is THE FIGHT FOR CHRIST. Amen!
Thank you, Pastor Allen, for having Dr. Barna to having the heart to have taken the time to show how down through so many generations parents have not listened to their instructions given in Bible, specifically Deuteronomy 6:7-9 and Proverbs 22:6
Powerful conversation! There’s ah saying in the Caribbean “ children do what they see and not what you tell them to do”. This is why I try to be so careful of the example I’m setting for my children, after all they are souls loaned to me for ah time from God and one day I’ll have to answer to Him about my influence and the manner in which I raised them. Hopefully He’ll be pleased despite my short comings and flaws. Thank you for this amazing and powerful video! May God help us to be better tomorrow than we were today!🙏🏾
Yes Pastor Allen, the Church begins in the table kitchen in our home, I teach my children and grandchildren to honor God with our lives daily, now they are young in the church but they are not serving the Lord as my desire, but I am praying and praying for them.
Those words "I don't know you" scares me beyond any words I've ever heard!!!!" Oh Jesus I'm trying to follow you on this journey I have before me and I admit I have fallen mañy times .... but You always help me up....wheather through some one or You Jesus calling my name!!!! Thank You Father God for sending Your Only Begotten Son!!!!¡!!!
Satan has always been after children! The younger the better! It's really very sad that only now there are a few who care!? Protect the children! Jesus is the only One capable of saving us!
Thank you addressing these cultural issues. I have no children but have many friends that do and it is evident they are more influenced by culture than their parents or the chur h. I particpate in our church's VBS...now more earnestly than ever.
Thank you for a wonderful discussion. I am listening from South Africa and believe forewarned is forearmed! Our Sunday School numbers have dwindled drastically in recent years so I'm sending this on to my family in Austin Tx and grandparent friends here. Again, thank you Pastor Allen....I look forward to opening the emailed message from you everyday.
Awesome- great Godly/ humble wisdom. I truly think we’re in the overtime phase of the end times and don’t believe our nation will ever turn back to the Lord. Like the Titanic reached a point of eminent doom- I believe we need to keep sharing the Gospel of Jesus and pray that many will get into the rescue boats ( be saved through faith in Jesus)
I love the reality comment. It's not that we are soon and gloom but we know and see the truth behind what's going on. Praying God opens a door for me and my husband to be a light in a dark world.
God is doing big things! I am so blessed to see what he’s doing in the life of our teens. 2020 had a terrible impact on our teens, and it’s taken a lot of time and patience, and letting go and letting God. And continuing to read scripture consistently with them. But what the enemy meant for evil, God turned it to good. Praise Him for his goodness! My daughter and her friends started an independent Christian Lounge Club at their high school. They got permission to set up a booth at Freshman orientation last night.
in the 60's the catholic church didn't teach any emphasis on end times, rapture, 2nd coming, persecution, or to apply scripture to your life..being a christian slacked..it is so awesome the holy spirit boldness and unction these days esp; is so powerful in truth..🕊
What a most awesome message that I have sent out to many . I stand with this Truth beyond words . I have witnessed this for decades in the church . I just got the children’s version of Pilgrims Progress : A Poetic Journey by Stephanie Cox for my 3 yr old grandson . It was his father’s favourite book in his teen yrs . Now baby to 7 yrs And another step up is one by Joe Sutphin . It is illustrated as well and comes with an activity book . This is a urgent crisis of greatest worth .🙏
AMEN!! The LORD is redeeming the years lost in my being ill prepared. I thought giving them academic and activities and AWANA and attending services Wednesdays & Sundays would give them a Christian World View… LORD forgive my ignorance and desire to be comfortable, and well liked and respected and fit in… Despite who I am GOD has been faithful in this season and is giving me a desire to be HIS servant calling me into a deeper commitment to serve an audience of ONE ❤
Thank you so much for this outstanding and timely message by you and Dr.Barna. I feel such a sense of urgency because satan is after our children. I have adult children and a few adult grandchildren but also some younger ones and also a few great nieces and a great nephew (almost 2 years old) that I love and want them to really know Jesus. This message was so concise and thoughtful and inspirational to me. Thank you again and this will bless many more people and children!! God bless you.
My son went to a Christian university to become a pastor. However, the university hired a Greek professor who was a known atheist because of his knowledge. Unfortunately, he chose to turn my son into an atheist. He told me the worst thing I'd done was to raise him to believe the Word of God. However, Acts 16:31 is the eternal promise of God. Isa 54:13 is the eternal promise of God. There are so many others. God cannot lie. He will pursue him (and all the lost children of Christians) until my son (and they) realizes the amazing Love and mercy of Jesus once again.
Scary 😢 parents cannot rely on the youth pastor to teach them Gods principles. Youth pastors need our prayers, more than the Senior Pastors.🙏🏾 I didn’t know what’s happening, I for sure will pray 🙏🏾
Is statistics from Dr. George Barna for me it was all almost overwhelming. The low number of disciples and our Christian places of learning “ bible schools “ are not good either. There was a lot of information to mull over in my mind. Thank you for the video.
I always heard kids can’t get to heaven on my apron strings,but I now know that I can’t assume they are believers because I am . Not always what I have done but what I didn’t do is so important.Sheep begat sheep.
This accurate view of a faith world view is exactly why I won’t bring my granddaughter with me to Easter service at WOC. I absolutely love WOC and pastor Allen. However, I’m not in support of a dressed up “easter bunny” present on Easter Sunday as a distraction from the real reason we’re showing up on Easter Sunday, to celebrate Christ rising from the grave. A display of the open tomb would be more appropriate and generate thought provoking conversation with our children and grandchildren. I left my home church because the pastor was touting the broadway play Wicked from the pulpit. It’s becoming harder and harder to find church’s who trust God will show up if they stick to biblical world views. The general population’s and the church’s need to be liked and accepted by everyone is causing true conviction to fall by the wayside.
Pastor Allen… the segment of the Christian body that I’ve seen deep growth & commitment are those who’ve been rejected by the church because we adopted a Supernatural Worldview of the Bible. We found people like Chuck Missler (from Calvary churches) and Dr. Michael Heiser teaching a more cohesive and informative way by filling us in to the worldview of the first Century Christians & Jews. I can’t go back now.
I don't care who it is. No one person should be alone with a child at church. Please do background checks in anyone who is in leadership with youth and the little children. Pray always and protect our kid's.
I agree with Pastor Jackson but I am 78 years old. In all these years I have witnessed cliches that can’t be ignored in churches. The church has really failed in disciplining new believers. No program to mentor new Christians to help them understand the Bible and find their place of service.
Great topic. I am the only one in my family my two young grandchildren age 7 & 13 that is a believer. Both their parents are atheist. Please advise what I can say to my grandchildren. All I say is how much Jesus loves them. The 13 year no longer believes as he has followed his fathers beliefs.
This was a GREAT video. But there was one ESSENTIAL thing missing. Barna was spot on with all he said but here's the thing. How do parents disciple their kids when they themselves 1) don't have a Biblical Worldview, 2) don't have a clue how to disciple because they never were and they don't know themselves WHY they believe what they do, and 3) the churches have Pastors & Elders who aren't apt to teach and are doing NOTHING to fix those two things? God says that the Holy Spirit has given Christians and the churches Teachers. Many are teaching but WHAT are they teaching? It's NOT how to make disciples.
I hear what Barna is saying but I would say the MOST important pastor in a child's life is the Father. I did not know that a person's worldview is formed by 13. I'd be interested in knowing more where he gets that from and why he thinks that's the case. The statistics given in the first 8min are alarming to say the least. Frightening. Terrifying. But the more I think about it the more I am not surprised. My own personal stats show only 2-3% of Christians who profess to be such actually are. So when you factor in the whole population it's really something to hear it's that high.
What? You want Americans to be responsible? You want American Christians to be responsible, even to Jesus? “The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it? I, the LORD, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give every man according to his ways, According to the fruit of his doings." Jeremiah 17:9-10
Sorry George I do not believe you where did you do your study why wasn’t my church part of your study you can manipulate a poll to say what ever you want your poll to say George Barna is out of touch with reality.
Minute marker 7:32 who do you think you’re serving your serving ecumenical orders unknowingly and you will create church and state unions. Making your selves the false prophet which you won’t understand because you have so many errors
Your degree in history should educate you on the fourth amendment and it’s not Sunday keeping. It should also teach you about your errors in the church state of the dead and hell it should teach you Daniel and revelation you should understand Daniel 7:25 what the anti Christ is.

So beautiful. Well done🎉
That's so beautiful ❤️
This is so powerful, we must speak God's Word!!!
Thank you again Pastor Allen! How desperately all true believers need to hear how the little church starts at home!!
It’s no wonder the enemy is dividing the family. He doesn’t want the spiritual influence of grandparents on their grandchildren. If you are like me and have an adult child who has estranged him/herself from you - don’t give up! Fight that spiritual battle through prayer! The eternity of our children and grandchildren is at stake!
I stand in agreement with you! 💜✝️💜 Glory to the Lord 🙌🏻 please Lord put people in their paths to help bring them to the cross🙏🏻
Amen on prayers for our children and their children that are our grandchildren!!!!!! Oh how heavy is this.... yes I have had many hurdles with this very action!!!! One of the devil's biggest triggers....I have been on a limb and about to fall.... And Jesus Christ is The Best Friend I have And he brings me up and embraces me with Love and encouragement and I am praying for my family always and they all will be ANSWERED!!!! Glory To GOD

We all need to be together on this. I love the people Pastor Allen that you know that have wisdom and knowledge over certain issues we are facing today. You are a man of integrity.
Teach them the ways of jesus
Yes, we as parents need to take this serious and raise our children with a biblical view. This is the only way, to make the world a better place. We are facing the consequences of us not taking our walk with God seriously. Children need God more than anything. God help us.
Caleb and Joshua were only 1.7% and they were able to take the land. We can do this!
Another GREAT moment at the 14min mark. Barna is spot on. Bravo Zulu and kudos to him for making that commitment. For those who don't know and haven't heard about them, I recommend two GREAT things that speak to just what Barna is talking about. Discipleship! Read "It's Good To Be A Man" and watch the movie "The Forge"!!
Men NEED to step up. It men would take the things said in just those two things we would change this country and the world!!
I believe that moral leaders add strength, proverbs 29:2
Love these podcasts. I can never get enough of listening to Pastor Allen. The guests and discussions are so enlightening
Thankyou pastor Allen with this message ✝️
Thank You Gentlemen, we greatly appreciate your bringing this to our attention.
Pastor Allen is a man of God! His teaching is wonderful and he is a Christian! So glad I found him online!
I am so blessed to be part of a church with strong biblical teachers for our children and youth.
LOVE the first 4min of this video. Jack defines Biblical Christianity and he does it is a straight-forward, no-holds barred manner. A VERY rare thing today.
George Barna, your looking for eternal reward where neither mouth nor rust can destroy.
Well done. I respect you greatly.
I really appreciate this podcast. It gave me a new perspective on these issues. Thanks!
Alarming and very disturbing!!! We need the Holy Spirit to move among us! God help us!!
We Need The Holy Spirit in order to teach our children!!!! God has promised , " if we ask we will receive" God wants to give us The Baptism of The Holy Spirit..... By His Son Jesus Christ
We have to ask for it, ask for wisdom ask for understanding, seek , knock, ask, till it happens, we are soldiers of the kings army, we have no clue what to do, that's a problem.

Yes Pastor Allen, the Church begins in the table kitchen in our home, I teach my children and grandchildren to honor God with our lives daily, now they are young in the church but they are not serving the Lord as my desire, but I am praying and praying for them.
i think asking kids what this means: "depart from me, i never knew you."... that should be the drive...knowing God by having a relationship with Him.🕊
Those words "I don't know you" scares me beyond any words I've ever heard!!!!" Oh Jesus I'm trying to follow you on this journey I have before me and I admit I have fallen mañy times .... but You always help me up....wheather through some one or You Jesus calling my name!!!! Thank You Father God for sending Your Only Begotten Son!!!!¡!!!
The country and the world are in deep trouble. We need a Biblical world view and Allen Jackson is upfront about how to do that. Make a commitment.
Satan has always been after children! The younger the better! It's really very sad that only now there are a few who care!? Protect the children! Jesus is the only One capable of saving us!

Shocking but so true. I will be changing some things in my life and in my family
Awesome- great Godly/ humble wisdom. I truly think we’re in the overtime phase of the end times and don’t believe our nation will ever turn back to the Lord. Like the Titanic reached a point of eminent doom- I believe we need to keep sharing the Gospel of Jesus and pray that many will get into the rescue boats ( be saved through faith in Jesus)
The first thing is keeping the families together. Reform the courts to make commitments mean something and parents more than a monthly check.
Thank you!

I love the reality comment. It's not that we are soon and gloom but we know and see the truth behind what's going on. Praying God opens a door for me and my husband to be a light in a dark world.

..tell them you come to resemble what you love.
It comes down to personal Bible study..passing that onto our children. Hiding the word of God in our hearts that we might not sin against the Lird.
We have to know the complete Bible OT & NT to pray scriptures over the children, the good Pastors, our communities, everything, and our needs.
Absolutely!
Thank you.
This word is so needed in the Body of Christ. Thank you both for Truth and your courage. God Bless You!

I always heard kids can’t get to heaven on my apron strings,but I now know that I can’t assume they are believers because I am . Not always what I have done but what I didn’t do is so important.Sheep begat sheep.
This accurate view of a faith world view is exactly why I won’t bring my granddaughter with me to Easter service at WOC. I absolutely love WOC and pastor Allen. However, I’m not in support of a dressed up “easter bunny” present on Easter Sunday as a distraction from the real reason we’re showing up on Easter Sunday, to celebrate Christ rising from the grave. A display of the open tomb would be more appropriate and generate thought provoking conversation with our children and grandchildren.
I left my home church because the pastor was touting the broadway play Wicked from the pulpit. It’s becoming harder and harder to find church’s who trust God will show up if they stick to biblical world views. The general population’s and the church’s need to be liked and accepted by everyone is causing true conviction to fall by the wayside.
Charis Bible college is a awesome choice ❤
Pastor Allen… the segment of the Christian body that I’ve seen deep growth & commitment are those who’ve been rejected by the church because we adopted a Supernatural Worldview of the Bible.
We found people like Chuck Missler (from Calvary churches) and Dr. Michael Heiser teaching a more cohesive and informative way by filling us in to the worldview of the first Century Christians & Jews.
I can’t go back now.
It is the Dads job to teach there children not some Sunday school teacher. America wake up. The church has gone blind
Your the man!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Lvjo
I don't care who it is. No one person should be alone with a child at church. Please do background checks in anyone who is in leadership with youth and the little children. Pray always and protect our kid's.
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it? Jeremiah 17:9
I agree with Pastor Jackson but I am 78 years old. In all these years I have witnessed cliches that can’t be ignored in churches. The church has really failed in disciplining new believers. No program to mentor new Christians to help them understand the Bible and find their place of service.
Great topic. I am the only one in my family my two young grandchildren age 7 & 13 that is a believer. Both their parents are atheist. Please advise what I can say to my grandchildren. All I say is how much Jesus loves them. The 13 year no longer believes as he has followed his fathers beliefs.

But where can I go to get a definition of this "biblical worldview" I hear you talking about?
This was a GREAT video. But there was one ESSENTIAL thing missing. Barna was spot on with all he said but here's the thing. How do parents disciple their kids when they themselves 1) don't have a Biblical Worldview, 2) don't have a clue how to disciple because they never were and they don't know themselves WHY they believe what they do, and 3) the churches have Pastors & Elders who aren't apt to teach and are doing NOTHING to fix those two things?
God says that the Holy Spirit has given Christians and the churches Teachers. Many are teaching but WHAT are they teaching? It's NOT how to make disciples.
Dr. George is website thing doesn’t come through.. how do we get in touch with his book?
I hear what Barna is saying but I would say the MOST important pastor in a child's life is the Father. I did not know that a person's worldview is formed by 13. I'd be interested in knowing more where he gets that from and why he thinks that's the case.
The statistics given in the first 8min are alarming to say the least. Frightening. Terrifying. But the more I think about it the more I am not surprised. My own personal stats show only 2-3% of Christians who profess to be such actually are. So when you factor in the whole population it's really something to hear it's that high.
If Jesus took the Apostle Paul 3 years to mentor him so should the church commit to the mentor new believer.

You say you love Christ then act like it
What? You want Americans to be responsible? You want American Christians to be responsible, even to Jesus?
“The heart is deceitful above all things,
And desperately wicked;
Who can know it?
I, the LORD, search the heart,
I test the mind,
Even to give every man according to his ways,
According to the fruit of his doings." Jeremiah 17:9-10
Sorry George I do not believe you where did you do your study why wasn’t my church part of your study you can manipulate a poll to say what ever you want your poll to say George Barna is out of touch with reality.
Minute marker 7:32 who do you think you’re serving your serving ecumenical orders unknowingly and you will create church and state unions. Making your selves the false prophet which you won’t understand because you have so many errors
Your degree in history should educate you on the fourth amendment and it’s not Sunday keeping. It should also teach you about your errors in the church state of the dead and hell it should teach you Daniel and revelation you should understand Daniel 7:25 what the anti Christ is.
Teach the Bible biblically you are so erroneous and you don’t even know it and you’re just parroting what you’re taught blindly.
Great wisdom!
