Eric Metaxas & Pastor Jeff Q&A

Dr. Jeff and Eric spoke on preaching the gospel and living out faith beyond mere belief. They warned against "cheap grace" and highlighted the importance of faith in action, referencing Dietrich Bonhoeffer's criticism. The sermon addressed engaging in politics with biblical values, being wary of media narratives, and equipping children without instilling fear. Finally, they urged Christians to boldly speak truth despite opposition and trust in God's power for change in the world.

Thank you!!! SO IMPORTANT~

[@jbwright217]

Awesome video! I wish I had been there in person. Two God-fearing men that love Him more than they fear the world.

I personally surveyed hundreds of people last year to see the state of faith in 2023. I asked questions like, "Do you think America is on the wrong track?", "Do you read the Bible?","Have you ever had an instance where you felt God was showing you something?" Etc. I asked Muslims, Christians and atheists.
What surprised me is how many of the strongest Christians I met last year are not attending churches but are doing their own ministry outside of the walls of the organized church.
I think the chief failure of the church today is in equipping christian warriors to be able to recognize when The Holy Spirit is moving in their lives.
People want genuine leadership and are not getting it from their local pastors.
People want to feel equipped for Ministry.
Ministry needs to look more like the local church having a civic engagement group in every congregation that helps elect school board and city council members.
Every church in the US today should be providing alternatives to the government run indoctrination we call schools.
Revival is waiting on us. Unfortunately, too many of us are waiting on weak pastors.

I agree that our churches need to be more directly involved in the education of our children.
But many Christians have stopped going to church because of their own spiritual apathy, not because they are more devoted to Christ than their pastors.

[@NobodysFaultPodcast]

That's true in most cases. Pastors do have a nearly impossible job. My estimate is that there are less than 3 percent of congregations actually producing Christian warriors. It's possible. I've witnessed it. But sadly, most churches tend to serve people instead of leading people into serving. Serving God is done by bringing glory to His name by allowing the Holy Spirit to mold us ever closer to the image of Jesus in all we do and say. That requires constant daily relationship with the Holy Spirit.

Such an encouragement!

I love the Lord Almagthy, and yes, no baby is perfect, not even good. Only my God Almighty is perfect and good, and we, the people, have only one candidate who can fit in, and that is Mr Donald J Trump my GOG IS going to take care of that.

[@user-bh5xo1lo9s]

Problem is that neither one of candidates are good choices. God isn’t going to hold me accountable for not voting for two incredibly bad choices. What’s terrible is that none of these questions are non biased.

[@lisareiter5368]

You silly! Haven’t you noticed that few politicians are excellent men? We ALWAYS have to pick the lesser of two evils. Even George W Bush was a disappointing RINO. Me and my house are voting for Trump because the democrats seem to be demonic.

[@user-bh5xo1lo9s]

@@lisareiter5368 don’t let people call you names like Eric. There are more than 2 candidates running.

[@Jordan18561]

Bonhoeffer would not have voted for Trump

[@lisareiter5368]

In a heartbeat. President Trump is no Hitler, which the Left likes to call him. He’s for smaller government and state sovereignty.
Trump was against the lockdowns. He gave power to the states, which allowed us to learn from each others’ mistakes. That’s why DeSantis was so empowered to open up early, which emboldened other red states. Trump also hired Supreme Court justices who got rid of Roe versus Wade. Now states can choose.
Trump is a great president and I will happily vote for him again.

[@amandapalmer8932]

That’s an ignorant statement. Hitler was not republican. He was pro social- communist. So is Biden.

[@francinejohnson5590]

I so disagree with you

[@per-arnemoa103]

Well.. He would definitely not have voted Obama or Biden.
