The Great Commission Crisis: Is the American Church Failing Its Core Mission? Jun 14, 2025

Show notes

Jesus's final command was the Great Commission, yet startling research reveals many in our churches don't know it. Are we truly making disciples, or is the American church facing a silent crisis? Bullet Points (Key Takeaways):

The Great Commission Unawareness: A shocking 51% of US churchgoers have never heard the term "Great Commission," and only 17% fully understand its meaning (Barna).
Generational Decline: Understanding of the Great Commission drops significantly with younger generations, posing a critical issue for the future of the church.
Discipleship Disconnect: While 92% of churchgoers feel their church helps them grow, only 1% of pastors believe churches in general are doing "very well" at discipling new believers. Only 20% of Christian adults are involved in any formal discipleship.
Evangelism Gap: 55% of regular churchgoers haven't shared how to become a Christian in the past 6 months, and over 50% of North American Christian leaders believe believers view the Great Commission as optional.
Biblical Literacy Crisis: Many churchgoers lack basic biblical and doctrinal knowledge (e.g., 43% of evangelicals affirming Jesus was merely a great teacher, not God), hindering their ability to fulfill the Great Commission. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
Tithing vs. Mission: Awareness of tithing as a biblical command (77%) far surpasses understanding of the Great Commission (17%), suggesting a communication imbalance.
Individual Responsibility: The episode emphasizes personal accountability for understanding the Great Commission, engaging in relational discipleship (2 Timothy 2:2), personal evangelism (1 Peter 3:15), and pursuing biblical literacy (2 Timothy 2:15).
Actionable Steps: Seven crucial steps for every believer to address this crisis, from prioritizing personal understanding to bridging generational gaps.
Hope and Urgency: Despite sobering statistics, the call is to awaken, repent, and refocus on the unchanging, urgent task of the Great Commission, for "the fields... are white already to harvest." (John 4:35)

Guarding Your Faith: Lessons from Fallen Leaders & How to Prevent Apostasy May 24, 2025

Show notes

Are you on fire for God but worried about the subtle ways faith can erode? Join Conrad as he explores sobering historical and personal examples of apostasy and discover biblical safeguards to keep your spiritual relationship with Jesus strong and steadfast. Bullet Points (Key Takeaways):

Understanding apostasy and recognizing its subtle beginnings. "Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall." (1 Corinthians 10:12 KJV)
Historical examples of spiritual leaders who fell:
- Alexander Dowie: Healing ministry to self-proclamation as Elijah, a fall due to pride.
- William Branham: Powerful gifts of knowledge and healing, but strayed from his calling into controversial doctrine.
- Charles Templeton: Dynamic evangelist who became agnostic due to prioritizing intellectualism over a spiritual relationship with God.
Personal examples of believers who strayed:
- "Sunshine": Mixed New Age teachings with Christianity, neglecting biblical grounding.
- "Mandy": Faced intense family opposition for her prophetic ministry, leading to her disappearance from public life. "A man's foes shall be they of his own household." (Matthew 10:36 KJV)
- "Samantha": Came out of witchcraft with pure faith but lacked spiritual oversight, leading to doctrinal error.
- "Jack": Shifted from synchronized spiritual revelation to monetizing insights and seeking followers. "For the love of money is the root of all evil." (1 Timothy 6:10 KJV)
- "Jimbo": Moved from impactful street evangelism to a corporate pastor role, ceasing public outreach. "Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love." (Revelation 2:4 KJV)
Key reasons for falling away: Pride, neglecting the Word of God, lack of accountability, shifting focus to self-promotion or financial gain, not staying in one's divine calling.
How to safeguard against apostasy:
- Daily study and deep engagement with Scripture. "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." (2 Timothy 2:15 KJV)
- Cultivate humility and seek accountability within the body of Christ. "Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall." (Proverbs 16:18 KJV)
- Maintain spiritual vigilance and a consistent prayer life. "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour." (1 Peter 5:8 KJV)
- Hold fast to sound doctrine and test all spiritual experiences against the Bible. "Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee." (1 Timothy 4:16 KJV)
The importance of a spiritual relationship with the biblical Jesus, grounded in both Spirit and Word.
