The left wing vs. right wing paradigm has been a massive psy-op on patriots. John Adams was correct: "There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution."
It always baffles and troubles me to realize how many professing Christians don't know the word of God and haven't read the Bible. When I was a teen, I just assumed that when you became a Christian, you read and studied the Bible and that's how you come to know God and Jesus but the longer I live, the more people I run into that think they're Christians but they have never even read the New Testament. That just blows my mind. I would argue that reading the Bible is the most important thing that you can do to know God, become a better person and navigate this fallen world. Without that, what do you have? What do you know? When I say, "Amen" in church, it's not because the preacher asked me to or because others are saying it. It's because I know that the Bible actually says what he just said. Everyone should be that way. If you don't know the word, then how can you be certain that the pastor isn't just making things up or what's more common unfortunately, just misquoting or taking the scripture out of context?
Exactly. So many are sitting under heresy, apostasy even, and have no idea that they aren't actually saved. Churches flying the imposter 🌈 flag. Letting homosexuals be in positions of authority. Practicing new age spiritism, yoga, the enneagram and treating Jesus like a genie in a bottle...
Thats what Timothy warned. You should teach, well said.. I also don't trust anyone saying their Christians anymore because it's a trend. There are people acting like demons calling themselves Christians.... That's mocking God and they will be held accountable. The Bible says to test the spirit and I do. And that the devil comes like an angel of light.. even though his garments are filthy. Cannot fake being a believer. The truth will come out, especially to those who walk in discernment and have the holy spirit.
@@queenk555 Amen. The Spirit bears witness amongst believers so we recognize one another. That reminds me of a scripture that I regularly hear pastors misusing. They warn that the antichrist will be so charming and deceptive that, "even the very elect will be deceived!". They're referencing Matthew 24:24 but they always leave out the rest of that verse that says, "IF it were possible". Which means to me that it's not possible. Because when you truly have the blood of Jesus painted on the door post of your heart, the Holy Spirit will direct you and you will know that the antichrist is not of God.
I struggle reading the Bible , I struggle understanding and interpreting what I'm reading but not having read the Bible religiously doesn't mean I don't have a relationship with God I pray daily and take time to have conversations with him, I ask for guidance and understanding, I still will read the Bible occasionally but it's hard to read when you don't understand everything your reading, God knows my heart and I do my best everyday to live my life in away God intended.
Newly called Gen Z family pastor here. As you described, Millennials are the primary generation of parents I am currently serving in my church. Thank you very much for this encouraging and insightful conversation as I prepare to go into the church office this morning. It resonates greatly with the conversations I’ve been having with families. The significance of this calling feels overwhelming at times, but I trust that God is with me. Please pray for me, if you would, and thank you both for your faithfulness. Also, my husband is the lead pastor of this church, and I’d so appreciate anyone’s prayer for him as well.
Praying for you to truly have a heart for giving purely Biblical truth to these younger people. I pray you would not seek to entertain , but to truly disciple and walk the walk , talk the talk with them. I pray you will not grow weary, but instead be refreshed as you see them learn absolute TRUTH from Gods Word. I pray you and your husband will remain strong and look to God first and foremost in ALL things, so that He will give you wisdom and discernment. 🙏✝️
I was never told I was special nor given participation trophies. I am an older millennial and remember when TH-cam didn’t exist and dial up was fast. Anyway, I don’t think all the spiritual problems is all centered on my generation. I think this stems from a on going issue trickled down from older generations.
I agree that it trickled down from older generations. However, I do believe that the negative impact of the trickle down manifested more strongly in millennials. My brother and I were born in the mid to late seventies. We often reflect on how our upbringing was very different from our relatives and friends who are only 10-15 years younger. Since you’re an older millennial, your childhood experience is probably more similar to mine.
" His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to LIFE and Godliness through the True Knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence." 2 Peter 1:3
This is really good! It’s exciting as an American Christian because we have such a huge mission field in our own neighborhoods and families. Thank you for this interview!
Pray that more patriots sincerely call on Christ. God Bless President Trump & his family. 1 Timothy 6:12 “Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.” 1 Thessalonians 5:17 “Pray without ceasing.”
Good Ranchers is expensive. Unless you are comparing it to high end meat at Whole Foods and such. But many americans cannot even afford places like Safeway or Fred Meyers or Krogers. Some of us are stuck with Winco or Walmart...the cheapest stuff. That is my only complaint about how this is advertised. Of course if given a choice people would want better than organic and free range and high end grass fed, grain finished meat. No antibiotics or hormones. But so many people cannot even come close to being able to afford Good Ranchers.
True. I'm over 60 and grew up w flank steak being a cheap meat. I was shocked to see it was $11.45 a lb today at my Walmart. I walked down to the pork section and a lot of that was over $5 a lb! I'm SO TIRED of chicken thighs and canned meats. Even things like "oxtails" and "stew meat" are high now. I live in farm country so understand but that doesn't help me put it on the table.
St Augustine: "Thou (God) has made us for Thyself and our hearts are restless until they find their rest in Thee." Fame, treasure, and pleasure never satifies in the end. Work your life to reach the "top" and you still find emptiness... been there done that. Only after I stopped worshipping myself and started worshipping God did I find rest for my soul. How do I find out what God is like? Learn about Christ - for Christ is God clothed in human flesh. A man born blind cannot apprehend a sunset - he lacks the faculty of sight. In the same way the "natural man" cannot apprehend the supernatural unless God awakens the faculty of spiritual discernment within him. That requires spiritual receptivity in the form of a humble and contrite heart. But He will remain hidden behind a cloud of unknowing to the proud and arrogant heart. But He is not willing that any should perish and will often use pain and suffering to "ready the soil". Been there ... done that. In the last 5 minutes all worldly knowledge is worthless...
Only 2 % of your generation have a BIBLICAL worldview. This Biblical worldview is what is needed, not the trust in mankind. We each need to learn what the Bible says, that our faith, our trust , our HOPE lies ultimately in Jesus only!
I think so often people place the fallen nature of the people in the church on God, blaming him for their sins. So many people walk away not because what God has done, but because what people have done.
All I know is that if you remove God and HIs Word from your life you are doomed. He gave us clear and concise guidelines, for example: train your children (does not say anything about school), one man one woman married, woman stay home (yes, roles are important), the list goes on and on and on...
Anyone who comes to Christ needs to understand that it's not about thriving in the sense that we as Americans probably see that term. We are called to die to self, which is painful; we are called to complete the sufferings of Christ, which is painful; we are called to persecution. And yes, to the abundant life simultaneously, which is a life of righteousness, peace, and joy (Romans 14:17) because of an intimate and submitted life to our heavenly Father, the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. It's not at all about what makes us happy, but about what pleases our God. And it starts with a foundation of acknowledgment that we are sinners, having transgressed the standards of God, and that the only way to that peace that passes understanding and authentic joy is to accept what Christ has done for us on the cross. I'm concerned when a message or conversation doesn't include the price we are called to pay as Christians.
@@beckyfrechette4439So true! Gen Xer here, and it’s infuriating to be looked over but most of my generation don’t care and wear the title of “forgotten” with pride. 😒
Growing up Mormon ruined God for me. I can’t help it. I’ve tried to fix it but the damage is so deeply, deeply done. Plus I’ve got a very selfish Boomer mom who hasn’t lifted a single finger to help me with my 4 kids. She doesn’t even call. My in-laws are pretty self-involved. So I’m TRYING my best but I’m utterly alone besides my husband. I’m struggling and have been for years.
Hey! If you’re the parent of 4 children and have a boomer aged mother, you are most likely near my same age if not possibly a couple years older. I’m a mother of two, and a faithful Christian that has studied Mormonism to an extent. Idk that I could be much help on helping you with your kids, I actually don’t have much help with mine. But I’d be glad to at the least be someone you can text and call if you need to. I don’t know how to switch from TH-cam comments to a more private conversation, but if there is, I’ll do that if you want to. Totally up to you. ❤
I’ll pray for you! It will surely take some time, but I pray God will show you through the Bible, His truth. And for other Believers to come alongside to help you. You aren’t alone and we know that nothing is impossible for God! I pray you have HOPE!! 🙏❤️✝️
As a millennial I fundamentally disagree with how he addressed Mellennial specific pain. Dr. Barna is making the same broad sweeping generalizations that I made while being a Christian. For example, not ascribing value to people simply because millennials don't believe in God? Sure, I USED to believe that, but, there's so much bias in that statement and it's ignoring the litany of variables and nuance that contextualizes how we feel. In other words, it dismisses the actual reasons for our pain and making it seem like the only solution is to believe in God. How about Millennials are depressed and anxious because in the last 4 years we've witnessed the worst in people? Corporations are exploiting us as consumers AND employees demanding we pay MORE while getting paid LESS money. Housing is not only expensive, it's now scarce. Our own government is a joke and doesn't care what we need as a people. Dating apps now just want to keep us on the app and paywalling EVERYTHING, including read notifications. Imagine paying so you can see you've been left on read....the list goes on. We've been taught to be selfless, but not in a balanced way, so we gave until we can't give anymore, and when trying to meet our own needs, we're called selfish. The way we feel has nothing to do with the belief in God and everything to do with our the world has treated us. This includes hyper conservative "Christians".

This is a Christian channel and will most definitely have those broad sweeping generalized (bigoted) views. I'm a Millennial. I want to Catholic school. I can name all the beatitudes, know the theological works of Aquinas, Moore, Augustine, very important theological scholars in Catholic and Protestant rhetoric and doctrine. However; as an adult I am an atheist. These people are free to say whatever they like under the law and YT terms but they are far removed from intelligent, evidenced based rhetoric, the scientific method, and scholarly literature in the fields of psychology and science and even religion for that matter.
20:55 _"the number of Bachelor Degrees"_ With the number of unmarried people, there is a pun somewhere. It's fun to appreciate, but it's tragic in ultimate subject matter.
Income means nothing.... and I don't really believe that. Maybe there weren't as many boomers making $300K in tech jobs fair, but in the middle-areas my dad was making as much as I am at 30, but that was 1 year out of college in 1984, he proceeded to by a 4 bedroom home on 1 acre for $185K (yes at a 12% interest rate but that is WAY BETTER than $600K 2 bedroom home on 0.1 acres at 4% IR) shockingly, even though his 1st home was 4x his annual income... they never paid it off because boomers love debt. Millenials are paying for boomers bad health and poor financial decisions now. But yeah stop sending your kids to out of state schools, grow where you are planted, have pride in your hometown. I swear we would all be better off if people stayed where they are; even if that is a blue state.
“ Boomers love debt”? I’m a boomer and have been living debt free for many years. I was taught to save up for what you wanted. To delay gratification. I think of Jesus never owning a home. I’m very glad to have a roof over my head, a car that runs that is paid off and the freedoms I am still able to enjoy. I haven’t had it easy in life, but I am free in Christ! I would love it if everyone I knew had the joy of the Lord that I’ve grown to appreciate. It comes from understanding who I am in Christ!
Allie what is up with all the Biden ads on your videos now? I keep seeing them on your videos but I don't see them anywhere else for some reason? 🤔 I know it's not you. It's just weird.
Well many are not real Shepherds -State-run Christianity [501c3 clause] is horrendous. Ephesians 5:11 “And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.”
@@GoodPersonTestWebsitetheir looking for a "god" that reflects their personality, desires and image because they aren't willing to conform themselves into God's image.
I was born in 82 so I’m a cuspie between Gen X and the Millennials but I identify more with Gen X. I find that I can’t relate to the ppl born in the late 80s and the 90s but ppl born in the early 80s like me and my girlfriend who are my fellow cuspies and the older Gen Xers born in the 70s are more my peer group. I think more like a Gen Xer
People are critiquing millennials for “giving up on God” but that has been a downward path for the last century since we see so many evils like the Holocaust and genocides and a just god to them would not allow such travesties. For me, it’s about so many more factors than that… which god and sect to believe in, why religion causes so many evils, so many discrepancies in the Bible, how no word has been spoken from god in thousands of years and we have to believe that people from thousands of years ago… so many more to go too. I am not even saying god doesn’t exist or not, I am just saying that there’s more evidence to point to that there isn’t or that he doesn’t care about people anymore at least
Believing He doesn't exist because bad things happen proves that you (or whomever) doesn't know God. Most likely there's no reading of His Word. His Word is Him speaking to us. How do you get to know someone if you never talk go them or listen to them? If you want to know God and understand this world, you have to talk to Him, in prayer, and listen to Him through His Word. If you accept Him, He will speak to you through the Holy Spirit.
Oh and there are NO DISCREPANCIES in the Bible. That's something you've been told that absolutely is not true. And if you read it, you would know that.
@@annamineer2521 I’m talking about discrepancies between every single iteration of the Bible, Old Testament and Quran… your words mean nothing to someone who’s Jewish or Muslim. You would be condemned in their own religions or even some sects of Christianity. I don’t need to even dissect each verse of the Bible to see the issues there are… if you can’t, that is fine. I wish you the best and love
Reformation - King James Bible will put you back on track. It's not another version- like the others. 1611, straight after the dark ages. People can now read their bible. Revelation Church of Philadelphia- the faithful church- in the last days- Which bible migrated to the States? When? What was the first capital city called? God is not fixing this world, stop hurting about the curse on it. Get right. Things are wrapping up fast. J
@TheClimateChannel Take a look at the 40,000 precise copies of the original text still in existence, and compare them to the ' dead sea scrolls'. Of course- not hard to see many false doctrines written which certainly denominations altered and placed themselves into positions of power. But it was rectified. Gods Word was preserved for the times we're in. J

Maybe there weren't as many boomers making $300K in tech jobs fair, but in the middle-areas my dad was making as much as I am at 30, but that was 1 year out of college in 1984, he proceeded to by a 4 bedroom home on 1 acre for $185K (yes at a 12% interest rate but that is WAY BETTER than $600K 2 bedroom home on 0.1 acres at 4% IR) shockingly, even though his 1st home was 4x his annual income... they never paid it off because boomers love debt. Millenials are paying for boomers bad health and poor financial decisions now. But yeah stop sending your kids to out of state schools, grow where you are planted, have pride in your hometown. I swear we would all be better off if people stayed where they are; even if that is a blue state.
“ Boomers love debt”? I’m a boomer and have been living debt free for many years. I was taught to save up for what you wanted. To delay gratification. I think of Jesus never owning a home. I’m very glad to have a roof over my head, a car that runs that is paid off and the freedoms I am still able to enjoy. I haven’t had it easy in life, but I am free in Christ! I would love it if everyone I knew had the joy of the Lord that I’ve grown to appreciate. It comes from understanding who I am in Christ!
Studies show it takes 60-70 hours to read the Bible cover to cover. (Unless your like me and highlight and journal everything, ha!)
Allie what is up with all the Biden ads on your videos now? I keep seeing them on your videos but I don't see them anywhere else for some reason? 🤔
I know it's not you. It's just weird.
- the greatest generation, the silent generation, the baby boomers, generation X and then to millennials...
Completely- pastors have no skills to handle today’s issues
Because sadly too many have relied on "seeker sensitive" models instead of the regulatative principle of worship and relying on the Word of God.
Well many are not real Shepherds -State-run Christianity [501c3 clause] is horrendous.
Ephesians 5:11
“And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.”
@@GoodPersonTestWebsitetheir looking for a "god" that reflects their personality, desires and image because they aren't willing to conform themselves into God's image.
I was born in 82 so I’m a cuspie between Gen X and the Millennials but I identify more with Gen X. I find that I can’t relate to the ppl born in the late 80s and the 90s but ppl born in the early 80s like me and my girlfriend who are my fellow cuspies and the older Gen Xers born in the 70s are more my peer group. I think more like a Gen Xer
Sorry, but I don't affiliate with millennials and I'm sick of being pawned off into that age group. 1982 and not a millennial.
People are critiquing millennials for “giving up on God” but that has been a downward path for the last century since we see so many evils like the Holocaust and genocides and a just god to them would not allow such travesties.
For me, it’s about so many more factors than that… which god and sect to believe in, why religion causes so many evils, so many discrepancies in the Bible, how no word has been spoken from god in thousands of years and we have to believe that people from thousands of years ago… so many more to go too.
I am not even saying god doesn’t exist or not, I am just saying that there’s more evidence to point to that there isn’t or that he doesn’t care about people anymore at least
Believing He doesn't exist because bad things happen proves that you (or whomever) doesn't know God. Most likely there's no reading of His Word. His Word is Him speaking to us. How do you get to know someone if you never talk go them or listen to them? If you want to know God and understand this world, you have to talk to Him, in prayer, and listen to Him through His Word. If you accept Him, He will speak to you through the Holy Spirit.
Oh and there are NO DISCREPANCIES in the Bible. That's something you've been told that absolutely is not true. And if you read it, you would know that.
@@annamineer2521 I’m talking about discrepancies between every single iteration of the Bible, Old Testament and Quran… your words mean nothing to someone who’s Jewish or Muslim. You would be condemned in their own religions or even some sects of Christianity. I don’t need to even dissect each verse of the Bible to see the issues there are… if you can’t, that is fine. I wish you the best and love
Reformation - King James Bible will put you back on track. It's not another version- like the others. 1611, straight after the dark ages. People can now read their bible. Revelation Church of Philadelphia- the faithful church- in the last days- Which bible migrated to the States? When? What was the first capital city called?
God is not fixing this world, stop hurting about the curse on it. Get right. Things are wrapping up fast. J
@TheClimateChannel Take a look at the 40,000 precise copies of the original text still in existence, and compare them to the ' dead sea scrolls'. Of course- not hard to see many false doctrines written which certainly denominations altered and placed themselves into positions of power. But it was rectified. Gods Word was preserved for the times we're in. J
Tons of people change their world view multiple times in life. Can't take this guy seriously, he's SO stuck on that one lie.
