Why this question matters more now than ever Lee’s story: from atheism to faith through honest investigation How a simple prayer changed everything If God is real, why is there suffering? Is it okay (or even biblical) to question God?

    Summer Reset: REPLAY // Cliques, Popularity, and Playing Church

    What was the Acts 2 church meant to be? And how far have we drifted from it? Continuing the Summer Reset series on the Jesus Over Everything podcast, Lisa Whittle tackles a topic her own audience asked her to address: cliques, popularity dynamics, and comfortable social circles that quietly take root in the very place designed to be their opposite. Drawing on real messages from listeners, teachings from top theologians, and a challenge rooted in Matthew 28, Lisa makes the case that playing church – surrounding ourselves with people who look, act, and think just like us – is more than a social problem. It's a spiritual one. This is a conversation for anyone who's ever felt the gap between what the church is supposed to be and what it sometimes is, and wants to close it. Listen in to learn more: Why Lisa almost didn't make this episode and what changed her mind The listener's message about cliques in women's ministry that started it all What the Acts 2 church was actually designed to be (and what it was never meant to be) How our social patterns have replaced the mission of the church Why cliques have no place in a community called to unity The connection between comfortable Christianity and a lazy faith What is really at risk when we miss the person sitting alone A hard question: Are we living for Jesus or for popularity and comfort?

    Summer Reset: REPLAY // Dr. George Barna on Championing the Next Generation

    Continuing our Summer Reset series on the Jesus Over Everything show, this conversation between Lisa Whittle and renowned researcher and author Dr. George Barna focuses on a foundational question: What does it mean to have a biblical worldview, and what’s at stake if we fail to pass one on to the next generation?   The data Dr. George Barna brings to this episode is the kind that should wake every believer up. A biblical worldview isn't formed by accident: it’s built in homes, modeled in churches, and lived out in the daily rhythms of faithful adults. The next generation is watching. The question is: what are they seeing?   Listen in to learn more: (00:24) Dr. Barna gets honest about nerves, aging, and why he still says yes to interviews (04:24) Why millions of Christ followers have walked away from Sunday mornings (08:04) How a 40-year researcher processes hope and despair in the data (13:54) Only 4% of American adults and just 1% of teens have a biblical worldview (14:36) Why a child’s worldview is substantially formed by age 13 (16:42) Barna’s simple definition of a biblical worldview (20:58) Is skipping church a sign of lost faith, or just doing faith differently? (31:22) Only 37% of pastors have a biblical worldview, and what that reveals about seminary (35:31) Barna’s unfiltered take on social media and discipleship (36:09) Introducing the “seven cornerstones of a biblical worldview”   Mentioned in the Episode: Book - Revolution by Dr. George Barna: https://a.co/d/0iHdx2rZ Book - Raising Spiritual Champions by Dr. George Barna: https://a.co/d/05O2sSOV Latest Reports - Cultural Research Center at ACU: https://azcu.edu/culturalresearchcenter/   Connect with Dr. George Barna: Website: https://georgebarna.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drgeorgebarna/ Connect with Lisa: Website: https://www.lisawhittle.com Substack: https://letsbeclear.substack.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@lisawhittleofficial Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lisawhittle Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lisawhittleofficial

    Summer Reset: REPLAY // Comfortable Christianity is a Lie

    Ever feel like your soul needs a vacation? You’re in the right place. The Jesus Over Everything Summer Reset is a collection of our favorite hot-topic discussions and unfiltered episodes with Lisa Whittle and friends. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be diving into what it looks like to truly reset your mind, your body, and your soul – all with Jesus at the center.  Kicking off the first four episodes on resetting your soul, this show starts with a hard and honest question: Is comfortable Christianity even real? Lisa Whittle doesn’t think so, and she’s not afraid to say it. Comfort is everywhere we look; in what we wear, who we spend time with, and increasingly, how we follow Jesus. But comfort and true discipleship are rarely the same thing, and the cost of confusing the two is higher than most of us realize. If you’ve been feeling a tug on your heart to go deeper in your relationship with God – this topic is for you. Listen in to learn more: Why “comfort” is the enemy you don’t see coming Comfortable Christianity defined: what it looks like in your everyday life The top 3 things comfort is costs you What does it actually require to have an “all-in life” for Jesus? Ready to let go of safe and predictable? A challenge for you.
