The Church Needs to Wake Up: Bishop Lance Johnson Calls Families Back to Faith
Episode Overview
- Believers are urged to trust God’s kingdom economy rather than panic over national financial conditions.
- God’s word is presented as able to change severe situations quickly, even in the midst of famine and despair.

- The church is called away from comfort and division toward holiness, unity and readiness for revival.
“We ain't ever been subject to the economy of the nation because we serve a kingdom. We don't live under the economy of America. We live under the economy of the kingdom of God.”
What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol? Bishop Lance Johnson brings that question right into the heart of the church in "The Church Needs to Wake Up Part 1" on Release the Roar. Speaking out of his own background of addiction and struggle, Lance delivers what he calls a prophetic word rather than a polished sermon.
He draws from 2 Kings 7 to show how God's word can break into famine, fear and chaos with sudden change, warning that many people "align themselves with the problem" instead of believing that "with God, all things are possible." If you've ever worried about money, you'll recognise the tension when he says, "We ain't ever been subject to the economy of the nation because we serve a kingdom...
Jehovah Jireh is still my provider." This teaching is aimed squarely at believers who feel stuck in gloom, doom and headline anxiety. Lance challenges defeatist attitudes about the future of the church and of America, insisting that revival is coming and that God is "not done" with His people.
He pushes hard on personal responsibility, especially for parents, arguing that many children are being sacrificed to addiction, confusion and culture because mums and dads are chasing the "American dream" instead of modelling faith at home. You’ll hear frank talk about alcohol, drugs and the way kids copy what they see: "They saw you dealing with your problems with a Budweiser and with a glass of wine, mama...
so they think when they have problems, they need a Marlboro, a glass of wine, and a Budweiser." It’s direct, sometimes uncomfortable, but aimed at calling families back to prayer, holiness and trust in God’s provision. If you’re ready for a challenge that links spiritual revival, recovery from addiction and everyday family life, this teaching may spark some serious soul-searching. What changes might your own home need if the church is truly going to wake up?
