Awakening The Sleeping Giant: Recent Episodes
John C. Hoogeveen III
The Awakening The Sleeping Giant podcast revolves around my book, Awakening The Sleeping Giant: Church Re-Discovered. We will be discussing the book, which compares the current North American church structure with the New Testament church structure, pointing out significant and necessary changes today’s church must make if it desires to be a church that reflects a biblical church rather than a business church.
At times we will have guest speakers from various ministry backgrounds from missionaries, church elders, church pastors, and Christians who are simply living out their lives in bold faith for Jesus Christ and maybe even those who restrain from being part of the church.
We hope that conversations begin around the nation in churches, living rooms, and communities that lead to a modern-day church revival.
In this episode, Braden McDaniel joins us again as we discuss a clip of the United States Press Secretary talking about identity and how she believes it is nobody's right to tell someone how they identify (related to race).
