Raised to Walk in His Light Part 2

Raised to Walk in His Light Part 2

What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol and then call others to live "raised to walk in His light"? This episode of Release the Roar with Bishop Lance Johnson brings that question right into the heart of Christian family life and church culture. Coming from a past trapped by alcohol and drug addiction, Lance now focuses on spiritual maturity, especially in marriage and ministry.

He talks candidly about how God created men and women "to work together as a team" and insists that strength comes when couples lift each other during life's tough moments rather than compete for control. A big chunk of the message tackles jealousy and favouritism in church life. Using 1 Corinthians 3, Lance challenges the habit of picking favourite preachers or worship leaders: "After all, who is Apollos? And who is Paul?

We are only God's servants through whom you believe the good news." He argues that some sow, some water, but "only God can produce the increase"—and no minister should be judged by how people choose to respond. He also speaks strongly about family order, discipline, and the responsibility of husbands to be spiritual leaders in the home, while wives are called to honour that role.

At the same time, he stresses that nobody can control another person’s choices, saying, "My obedience does not determine what you do with my obedience"—whether that’s a parent, a spouse, or a pastor. The tone is bold, sometimes confrontational, but always aimed at pushing believers towards growth and away from blame-shifting and spiritual passivity.

If you're wrestling with church hurt, family tension, or the pressure to "fix" the people around you, you’ll hear a clear challenge to focus on your own obedience to God and let Him handle the results. So, where might jealousy, control, or fear be holding you back from walking fully in His light?
