In this solo episode of Lift High the Cross, host Ray Sexton challenges Christians to boldly proclaim the Gospel and defend biblical truth in a world increasingly accepting of competing religious beliefs. Ray examines Judaism, Islam, Mormonism, and progressive Christianity, explaining why he believes their teachings conflict with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He discusses the religious claims of Muhammad and Joseph Smith, biblical warnings about false prophets, the importance of Scripture, and the dangers of compromising Christian doctrine. How should Christians confront religious error without becoming hateful or disrespectful toward others? Ray encourages believers to speak the truth with courage, love, and humility, remembering that salvation comes through Christ alone.

In this solo episode of Lift High the Cross, host Ray Sexton examines how generational changes have affected worship and church culture within the LCMS. Ray discusses contemporary worship music, traditional Lutheran liturgy, weekly Communion, Bible studies, pastoral leadership, and why many younger Lutherans are searching for more confessional churches. Rather than attacking older Christians, Ray asks whether practices adopted over recent decades have unintentionally weakened Lutheran identity and moved congregations away from their confessional roots. What can pastors, younger Lutherans, and longtime church members do to strengthen their congregations? And how can the LCMS recover its traditions while keeping Christ, Scripture, the Sacraments, and the Lutheran Confessions at the center?Want to help support Lift High the Cross?: https://buymeacoffee.com/lhcpodcast1Checkout our socials: https://linktr.ee/lifthighthecross Checkout our website!: https://www.lhcpodcast.com/Want to contact us?: https://www.lhcpodcast.com/contact-us#reconquista #mainline #christianity #christian belief #christian #theology #lutheran #catholic #god #bible #traditionalworship #trinity #christ #christiantheology #pastor #calvinism #calvinist #evangelical #baptism #lordssupper #lutheranism #christian YouTube #confession #absolution #baptist #pentacostal #ICMS #higherthings #holyspirit #satan #devil #torah #pray #prayer #viral #youtube #youtuber #trauma #trinity #hell #heaven #salvation #damnation #saver #cross #theology #reel #reels #short #shorts #savior #died #resurrection #sin #sins #forgiveness #passion #compassion #mercy #tiktok #religion #lies #truth #faith #scriptures #grace #father #holyspirit #pastor #love #law #gospel #saints #demons #yahweh#MO #church

In this solo episode of Lift High the Cross, host Ray Sexton examines why many Gen Z Christians are becoming frustrated with American politics, modern culture, and the state of Christianity in America. Ray discusses his concerns with both Republicans and Democrats, rising living costs, foreign wars, declining marriage and family formation, social media, and the growing spiritual challenges facing younger generations. He also challenges Christians to stop placing their political identities above their faith and instead focus on Scripture, sound theology, faithful churches, and building strong Christian families. Is Gen Z rejecting the political establishment, and could a renewed commitment to Christ help shape the future of American Christianity?
