Lance Johnson Ministries

Relevate Church

Lance Johnson comes by way of a life of struggles having been trapped by the unrelenting grip of alcohol and drug addiction and the desperate life style that comes with it. He brings a fresh word that is woven into the fabric of a life that has known the agony of an empty soul. One early fall day in September of 1990 he had an encounter with the King of Kings that not only changed him but has eternally altered the lives of thousands that now proclaim along with him that “When Jesus sets you free you are completely free”. Pastor Lance now reaches into depths of his experience to deliver a starkly real story of freedom by the power of God. Now he only looks back to encourage those that are lagging behind. He has spent almost a quarter of a century rescuing people from a background of death and ruin and introducing them to a life of prosperity and liberty. Lance has pioneered addiction recovery ministries as well as numerous churches. He has planted bible colleges and overseas mission works, thereby reaching people from every walk of life and social background. He has introduced vast numbers of people to a victorious, overcoming lifestyle. He is currently the founder and Senior Pastor of Relevate Church with two locations in Woodstock GA and Ranger GA. He is also the founder and teacher at Lions Gate Ministry Training Academy.

Trade Religion for Genuine Connection: A Message from Bishop Lance

Episode Overview

True faith requires a personal relationship with God, not just religious practices.
Understanding God's character is crucial to truly believing in His promises.
Religious routines can lead to emptiness if there's no intimate connection with God.
Personal worship should stem from an authentic relationship, not just church attendance.
One's spiritual journey should focus on knowing God personally rather than just knowing about Him.

“"The promises of God without knowing the promiser is only vanity."”

Curious about how others navigate their sobriety journey? Bishop Lance Johnson's latest episode takes you on a profound journey of understanding the difference between knowing about God and truly knowing Him. Through a compelling message, Bishop Lance challenges the listeners to reflect on their relationship with God, highlighting that memorising scripture and following religious practices isn't enough if there's no intimate connection with the divine.

Using the story of two rich men from the Bible, he illustrates how one can be deeply religious yet miss the essence of faith due to a lack of genuine relationship. The episode is filled with thought-provoking questions and powerful anecdotes, aiming to awaken those who are lost in religious routines without experiencing true spiritual fulfilment. Bishop Lance's passionate delivery and candid approach make this episode both engaging and enlightening.

By the end, you're left pondering whether your spiritual practices are merely routine or if they reflect a deeper relationship with God. Are you ready to trade religion for a genuine connection? Tune in to find out.
