Why Christians Think the World Is Getting Worse (The Lie Killing Gen Z Faith)

from The Faith of the Father(s) w/ Karl Gessler · host Karl Gessler

Send us Fan MailMany Gen Z Christians have been taught to expect a future with no victory—only survival.But that’s not what Jesus taught.Somewhere along the way, a subtle but powerful lie took root in the Church: that everything is destined to get worse and worse, that darkness will inevitably win, and that believers are simply holding on until the end.In this episode, we confront that belief head-on.We look at what Scripture actually says about the victory of Jesus, the authority given to His followers, and the nature of the Gospel as truly good news—not a consolation prize in a losing world.Jesus said, “In the world you will have tribulation—but take heart; I have overcome the world.”Not “I will overcome.” “I have overcome.”If you’ve ever felt like the best you can do is survive until Jesus returns, this conversation will challenge that mindset and call you back to a life of hope, faith, and purpose led by the Holy Spirit.You are not waiting for victory. You are living from it.Support the show❤️ SHOW YOUR SUPPORT - LINKS BELOW...➡️ Email me: https://www.karlgessler.com/deliverance➡️ DONATE ➡️  Join our team!https://www.givesendgo.com/karlgessle...  / karlgessler  ...
