What warning does Keenan Clark give to Christians about the last days?

Keenan Clark 0:00

Whether or not you believe we are in the literal last days, you're in your last days. You're not promised tomorrow. So you need a tree every day. Like it's the last days. The question is, will we take the way of escape or will we give into the temptation yet again? And that is the thing I want to caution a generation who wants to get their affirmation from clicks and reshares and followers. If you are being obedient to God, it does not matter who else is interested in what he's called you to do.

Bryce Crawford 0:22

What do you think is the biggest deception that people are falling for right now?

Keenan Clark 0:26

It's a great question. I think there's many.

Bryce Crawford 0:30

Well, what's going on, guys? Welcome back to another episode of the Bryce Carver Podcast.

How does social media influence our spiritual lives?

Bryce Crawford 0:33

I'm Bryce, and today I have my incredible friend, brother, someone I really gleaned from, Kenan Clark. Come on, bro. How are you, my friend? Dude, I'm good. The amount of times people ask me, oh, is he a pastor?

Keenan Clark 0:45

No way. Yeah, all the time, yeah. Well, I was for 10 years, like almost 10 years. You're a youth pastor, right? I was a young adult pastor in Texas, yeah.

What deception is prevalent in today's society?

Keenan Clark 0:52

But yeah, makes sense. Where at? Where at? So I'm from San Angelo, Texas, uh, born and raised, raised and reared, however you want to say that. And so my mom and dad started a church when I was 13. And then upon graduating from Bible college, when I was 20, I don't just come with tattoos. I came with credentials. I do have tattoos, but, um, I have credentials. You know, I went to Bible college, but upon graduating from Bible college, I moved back to my hometown and went on staff at my parents' church and pastored there. There was nothing for young adults. And so I pioneered it along with the team. Eventually like Beth and I led it together. But yeah, I mean, I did pastor at one point and now I'm, an evangelist.

Bryce Crawford 1:27

Let's go. Like yourself. Hey, come on. Come on. We got to stick together. Isn't it so interesting how people think like evangelism is just an office and not a command? True. Isn't that so sad?

Why is boldness important in sharing faith today?

Bryce Crawford 1:36

That's a word right there. That's so sad. Matthew 28. It's so sad. Like so many people are like, oh yeah, you do your thing. You're an evangelist. I'm a pastor.

Keenan Clark 1:44

We were talking about that recently. Like, hey, you know, thank God you're in the streets, Bryce. You know, somebody told you that. It was like...

How do we discern between boldness and meanness in our actions?

Keenan Clark 1:50

What the heck are you talking about? What are you talking about? We're all supposed to be in the streets, like highways and byways, baby.

Bryce Crawford 1:56

Come on now. Come on. I, uh, you know, I think something I'm, I'm super encouraged. Those of you that don't know Kenan, if you're watching or listen, Kenan, I believe is one of the boldest. I think you're one of the boldest preachers on the internet right now. Thank you, bro. I like the internet. You've always been bold. Thank you, bro. But boldness is attractive now. And I think people are looking for leaders who exemplify strength and who exemplify confidence and exemplify this boldness. And it's evident that this boldness comes from the Holy Spirit. Why do you think it's time to be bold now?

Keenan Clark 2:31

Number one, if I could get deep quick, I believe it's prophetic. Like I truly do. I believe that we need a clarion call. That's a really biblical word for like, we just need that like big push. We need that loud voice, almost like John the Baptist, you know, a voice crying out in the wilderness. That's not, I'm going into the wilderness to pray quietly to daddy God. You know what I mean? This is me. I am up. You brood of vipers. You know what I mean? I am up here declaring the truth, preparing the way. And I really do believe, I understand people can parse things out with their idea of end times or whatever, but I do believe the return of Christ is drawing closer. It's closer today than it was yesterday.

Keenan Clark 3:19

And, you know, I'll say this, whether or not you believe we are in the literal, we're in the literal last days, you're in your last days. Yeah. You're not promised tomorrow. Yeah. So you need a tree every day. Like it's the last days. Either Jesus is coming back or I could take my last breath and I will be held accountable to him.
