Why “Good Church Kids” End Up Spiritually Lukewarm

Ever feel like you’re physically at Mass or singing in choir but your mind is a million miles away? Like you’re just checking “faith stuff” off your list instead of actually meaning any of it? That’s exactly what our guests open up about in this Youth for Truth episode. These two have been in choir since they were kids and they get super honest about how easy it is to slip into lukewarm faith even when you’re one of the “good Church kids.” Fr. Simon walks through that heavy Bible verse in Revelation where God basically says, “I’d rather you be cold than lukewarm—I’ll spit you out of my mouth.” They break down why being lukewarm is actually more dangerous than being straight-up cold, what it looks like in real life (mind wandering during Mass, singing the words but not feeling them, doing stuff just because it’s expected), and how to fight it without faking a spiritual high. You’ll hear why simply showing up still matters, how love for God is more about action than feelings (just like a real marriage or friendship), and why the valleys in your faith don’t mean you’re failing. Plus there’s boba, fun stories, and a lot of laughs along the way. ––– 00:00 Why Lukewarm Happens 04:21 Staying Present at Mass 06:00 Showing Up Still Matters 08:07 Revelation Lukewarm Verse 10:45 Take Your Vocation Seriously 12:21 Peaks and Valleys 16:05 Spiritual Highs 19:57 Love Is Action 22:56 Faith As Relationship 28:10 Teaching Kids The Faith ––– ▶️ Video version of this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/EpgThArSig4  📲 Follow us on social media: "Youth for Truth" IG: https://www.instagram.com/youthfortruthshow/ "Qurbana Media" IG: https://www.instagram.com/qurbanamedia 📧 Email us at [email protected] if you'd like to hear about ways you can support Qurbana Media or if you're a content creator wanting to collab! 🗞️ Sign-Up for our newsletter: https://www.qurbanamedia.org/newsletter
