🚨 ARE WE FOCUSING ON THE WRONG THINGS?

The conversations we have about culture, identity, and politics reveal a lot about what we believe really matters. But are we addressing the issues that deserve our attention—or getting distracted by the wrong debates?

💬 Watch the clip and tell us what you think in the comments.

Pride and offense are dangerous partners.

Pride blinds you to your own offense, and offense convinces you that everyone else is the problem.

The result is spiritual arrogance

You begin seeing everyone else’s failures while remaining blind to your own. You call your criticism discernment, your bitterness conviction, and your unwillingness to receive correction spiritual maturity.

Jesus warned us about trying to remove the speck from someone else’s eye while ignoring the plank in our own.

The most dangerous deception isn’t when you can’t see what’s wrong with others. It’s when you can see what’s wrong with everyone except yourself.

Before asking God to expose everyone else, ask Him to search your own heart.

🗳️ VOTE ON POLICY, NOT PERSONALITY.

When it comes to leadership, what matters most is the policies someone supports and the principles they stand for—not just the image they project.

What do YOU think should matter most when choosing our leaders?

Jezebel wants you to leave your healthy church! Expect resistance but press forward with faith. The enemy will try anything to keep you from the presence of God!

PAUSE and take a moment to pray for the people of France🇫🇷

It’s time for the Church to take a stand against the evils of Islam! No longer will we stand idly by while the worshippers of a dead idol run rampant, defaming our God while proclaiming the name of the demonic voice they follow. MUHAMMAD IS DEAD, JESUS IS THE ONE TRUE LIVING GOD.

When it feels tempting to give up, Jesus is praying, interceding, and encouraging you to keep pressing forward! No lie, tactic, or evil spirit can overcome the Author and Finisher of our faith!

Should Christians vote, even when neither option feels like the “Godly” one? 🗳️

“We’re not voting for the next pastor. We’re voting for the next politician.”

On this week’s Wake Up Church Podcast, Pastor Will Ford and Pastor Les Cody of Mercy Culture talk about why policies matter more than personality. They also explain why “I don’t have my ideal” is no reason to take your toys and go home this midterm.

It’s not political, it’s spiritual. That doesn’t mean we do nothing.

🎙️ Full episode drops TOMORROW at 7AM on YouTube, Spotify & Apple Podcasts.

Jezebel tries to control through fear. Exposing lies and negative emotions could be the thing that brings you to freedom the fastest!

Jesus is Jewish, descended from Judah (Hebrews 7:14), and our risen Savior is still called the Lion of the tribe of Judah (Revelation 5:5). The prophets of Israel and the twelve apostles were Jewish. Romans 11:18 warns Gentile believers against arrogance toward Israel, and 1 John 4:20 exposes the contradiction of claiming to love God while hating a brother. Antisemitism has no place in Christianity. Love Jewish people. Pray for them. Stand against the hate.
