Lukewarm Christianity | Faith Forward

Join Garrett Backstrom and Senior Pastor Micah Stevens on the Faith Forward Podcast for an honest discussion on the transition at Godspeak Church and the vital importance of embracing the whole counsel of God’s Word. They explore biblical literacy, the dangers of cherry-picking verses, and how to lovingly confront sin in fellow believers—drawing from Acts 20 and 1 Corinthians 5. Pastor Micah shares insights on church discipline, avoiding gossip, restoring relationships, and applying these principles to family life, urging listeners to pursue holiness, repentance, and true fellowship over lukewarm faith. Tune in for practical wisdom on living boldly for Christ!
