Saved Not Soft
American Christianity (Addressing Lukewarmness) | SavedNotSoftPodcast
Tue, 25 Feb 2025
So many Americans claim Christianity, yet true discipleship is so overlooked. Faith is more than belief; it’s a daily walk of trust, obedience, and self-denial (Matthew 10:38-39, James 2:14-19). God calls us into a deeper relationship, not just routine religion. Reflect on what it truly means to follow Christ and embrace the fullness of His love and truth.Thanks for watching this episode!

Chapter 1: What is the significance of true discipleship?
Hello, hello everyone and welcome back to Saved Not Soft. Hello everyone. That was like a note I held. Soft. Man, God is good all the time. Amen, amen. Who's ready for today? Because I am ready for today's episode. And just being completely transparent, this has been a topic that the Lord has been putting on my heart probably the past... two years that's been really just thick in my spirit.
And I believe this is finally the time where the Lord has really sat me down and gave me instruction of how to correctly articulate and come forth with this topic, essentially. And so, yeah, we're just going to get into what the Lord has to say, y'all. And today, if you did not read the title of this podcast, it's Exposing American Christianity.
And the biggest thing I'm going to encourage in this episode is to just stick around and listen and to pray and listen to the Spirit. Do not listen to me and what Emmy has to say. I'm not on Emmy's side. I am on God's side. And there's just some things as an American and as someone who has their foot in ministry, just some things that have been hard.
observed, not only within the walls of ministry, but also for those who claim themselves to be Christians. And so if you're willing to grow with one with Christ, I believe that you're going to receive this message and it's going to change your life. And if you allow God to minister to your heart. God can change your life for the better.
And that's my biggest encouragement is to just listen to this episode with an open heart and open mind and more so not towards me or like the words that I'm saying, but through the spirit of God, which he's going to reveal through this podcast. Amen. And so let's pray. Before we pray, though, actually, let me tell you who I am. I'm Emmy Moore. I am the host of Saved Not Soft.
And what is Saved Not Soft? Saved Not Soft is a podcast dedicated to let people know that they are heard, seen, and loved by God. And also knowing and understanding that this road to Christianity, it is not an easy walk forward. Nowhere in scripture does Jesus ever proclaim or promise for Christianity to be easy.
If anything, there's a lot of things that come in the midst of Christianity, and this podcast is catered to help you navigate that, whether if it's really hard or more easier at times, if it's joy or suffering. This podcast is supposed to help and assist you through the spirit of God with your daily lives and how to be a better steward and a better child of God. And that's simply that.
So let's pray. And then we're going to get into our topic for today. Amen. So dear Heavenly Father, I just thank you and praise you, God. God, I thank you for this message that you've burned on the inside of me, God. God, before all things, God, I just lay myself down in humility, God, for I'm not better than anybody else. Neither is anybody watching, God.
We are all on the same page, pursuing one God and one spirit, God. God, I just rid the spirit of offense in Jesus' mighty name, Father.

Chapter 2: What does it mean to expose American Christianity?
There's a spiritual blindness because people are serving a version of who they think God is and not who he actually is. When we talk about...
spiritual blindness and about worshiping a false god that can fall on two different types of spectrums it could fall from a ignorance and a passivity and an apathy for god or religiousness and selfishness and self-righteousness and i think these two areas of america christianity Right. Right. Even when it comes from like church hurt, right?
Church hurt stems from people who are operating in religiousness and operating in a self-righteousness and then cultivating what they believe about God, even though it's not rooted in compassion or in a relationship. And it's turning into a perverted belief system that they're infiltrating on a body of Christ that doesn't know how to receive God. from the church and how to go back to scripture.
They just received the hurt and now they have a totally terrible perception of who God is for the rest of their lives because there are people in these churches and in these ministries who are operating as a Pharisee. And so there's that side of it of religiousness and hyper-religiousism
And another aspect to where it's apathy, it's a lack of interest, and it's ignorance that people are a part of because they say, oh, I know these things about God, but they don't know anything of what scripture says. They have ignorance. this version of who God is and they worship that.
And they're like, oh, well, and this is when they bring in all sorts of witchcraft and don't even know it and operating in the spirit of error because they don't understand what the truth is and what scripture says. So there's these two sides of the pendulum of people who are operating in a religiousness and then people who are operating from almost like this whimsical and ignorant faith
by just believing in the name of Jesus, but never his nature. And I was reading in 2 Timothy 3, 5, where it says there's a form of godliness that the people of God experience, but deny its power. And they deny its power because there's a lack of relationship. So these religious people who are in the American church and they're exercising all these things that are not actually biblically sound,
It's because they have a touch of godliness. Like they're understanding the God that has ruled and made and rests upon us. But there's like a lack of godliness simultaneously because you're denying the power of Jesus Christ. Instead, you're accepting the power for yourself, which is why church hurt is so adamant and hurtful because all the power and authority that should be given onto God...
Man is trying to take the responsibility of that authority and power onto himself. And so that creates a lot of perversion because all these people are wanting a false power. And it's almost as if they think they say the name of Jesus. There is this humility, but it's a superficial humility because instead of having God get all the glory, it's like you're trying to be on the same pedestal as him.
