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?

What if being “close enough” to Jesus isn’t actually enough?

In this powerful episode, John and Lisa unpack the sobering parable of the ten virgins—where half were ready for the bridegroom, and half were left in the dark. They reveal a striking truth: everyone looked the same on the outside, but only a few carried the oil that truly mattered. And here’s the catch—it’s not something you can borrow.

Watch now to learn how to cultivate a deep, authentic relationship with Christ—before time runs out.

What if one of the most ignored signs of the last days isn’t chaos—but offense creeping into your heart?

In this eye-opening conversation, John and Lisa unpack Jesus’ warning in Matthew 24, share raw personal stories of backlash and loss, and reveal how social media and culture can quietly pull us away from truth.
