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?
