Are you paddling upstream, or are you suffering from spiritual radiation sickness?
In this visually arresting and historically deep session, John Barnett surveys the "Seven Types of Believers" sitting in the audience. Using the terrifying imagery of a nuclear disaster, he diagnoses why so many Christians are weak, sick, and drifting backward. If you feel like your spiritual life has lost its momentum, this class reveals the physics behind your drift.
Here is why you cannot miss this class:
1. THE FUKUSHIMA ANALOGY John Barnett updates the ancient map of Asia Minor with a modern nightmare: Fukushima. He compares living in Pergamus—where "Satan’s Throne" was—to living next to a leaking atomic reactor. You might not see the danger, but the "radiation" of the culture is making you sick and causing you to tolerate sin. Find out if you are merely "coasting," "scared," or if you have actually become "irradiated" by the world around you.
2. THE PHYSICS OF THE RIVER Why is it impossible to just "stand still" in your faith? John explains the terrified reality of the "Broad Road" leading to destruction—it isn’t a road; it is a River. He reveals that the moment you stop advancing toward God, the current automatically pushes you backward. This segment is a wake-up call for every believer who thinks they can take a break from spiritual discipline without consequences.
3. THE EPICENTER OF RESISTANCE Why did God send 12 New Testament letters—more than to any other place on earth—to the Roman province of Asia? John takes us on a tour of Cappadocia, Pontus, and Galatia to prove a powerful point: God targeted the hardest place on earth to prove that the Gospel works anywhere. If you think your workplace, your family, or your city is too hard for God to reach, this geography lesson will shatter your excuses.
4. THE GALATIANS 2:20 PARADOX Imagine a church that had the "most succinct statement of holiness" memorized in their youth groups but still ended up enslaved to sin. John contrasts the beauty of Galatians 2:20 ("I have been crucified with Christ") with the ugly reality of the church in Thyatira. He challenges us to move beyond reciting the verse to actually living the "Christ lives in me" reality.
THE BOTTOM LINE: The current of this world is strong, and the radiation is real. You are either advancing against the flow, or you are being swept away. Join John Barnett to grab your paddle, check your Geiger counter, and start moving toward the Lord again.
