The Scary Difference Between Being Christian & Being Saved

April 28, 2026 · 36 min

Show notes

What if the church's greatest crisis isn't external opposition, but internal sleepiness?

In this episode, John and Lisa confront a sobering reality—half the Church may be unprepared for Christ’s return. This isn’t about perfection, but living a life fully awake and set apart for Him. It’s a call to daily spiritual readiness, to “buy oil” through surrendered obedience like the wise virgins.

Watch now and face the question: Are you ready for Jesus to return—or just going through the motions?
