The American church is in crisis — not because we lack passion for Jesus, but because we've convinced ourselves that spiritual revival alone is enough. In this special Night of Action episode, Pastor Stephen Martin delivers a sobering history lesson: the Jesus Movement of the 1960s–70s produced one of the greatest spiritual awakenings in modern history, yet during that same decade, America removed prayer from schools, established no-fault divorce, and legalized abortion. Revival without reformation is a recipe for losing a nation.

Pastor Stephen walks through the three post-resurrection commands Jesus gave His church — preach the gospel (Mark 16:15), make disciples (Matthew 28:18-20), and be Spirit-empowered witnesses who contend in culture (Acts 1:8) — and makes the case that most churches are only fulfilling one of the three.

What You'll Discover:

✅ Why Jesus gave three commands, not one, and how the church has flattened the Great Commission

✅ The sobering warning of Ezekiel 3:18 — God holds truth-knowers accountable for being truth-tellers

✅ How For Liberty and Justice founder Nate Schatzline saw a legislative miracle when prayer warriors refused to accept defeat on banning social transitioning for minors in Texas

✅ Why the Overton Window only moves when Christians speak truths that aren't yet accepted

✅ How three Vintage Church members — Jimmy Hammond, Buddy Schwab, and Raymond Hamden — are stepping from the pews to the public square to run for office

✅ The four pillars of the Vintage Church and For Liberty and Justice partnership for cultural reformation

This Night of Action event also features remarks from AG Commissioner Sid Miller and powerful testimonies from church members running for offices ranging from precinct chair to U.S. Congress District 31.
