Ethan Hoover & Matthew Maher talk about the complacent church in America,  global persecution, and ask the question: Are you ready for when persecution gets ramped up?


Show Notes:

  • Intro
  • Recap
    • The church biblically vs. the Church Nominally
    • Why that means for us today
    • What happened in the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, & 90’s
  • Where did the church go in the 2000’s until now?
    • We shrunk back, we conformed and got complacent & comfortable.
  • The year 2020, the point where God began waking up his true church again.
  • American church today
    • Beginning stages of persecution (name calling, being cancelled, etc)
  • How did the church get lulled to sleep?
    • We believed the lie that the church is confined to four walls.
  • Global persecution
    • Opendoors.org
    • Persecution is very heavy in countries like: China, North Korea, Iran, & more.
  • Be careful not to call something “persecution” that isn’t actually persecution.
  • Persecution = the loss of something
  • Persecution is being ramped up globally and all signs point to more persecution coming.
  • Are you ready for more persecution?
