Scott. I cried when I read your article. I cry often…I love your heart for the lost…as I do, and see all around me in my “circle” - my mission field. I am persevering in my “Kitchen Table” although I have only 2 attendees so far - God bless those 2 women! Of course the enemy says, “See? Nobody’s interested. Why bother?” But before I started, the Holy Spirit said, “Build it and they will come.”

And while I was reading your article He said, “Just give them something better.” To encourage someone else I say, you don’t have to know a lot about technology to be part of the solution. Just provide an alternative. That’s me! That’s what I’m doing with my (LIVE AND IN PERSON) Kitchen Table!

If it’s on anyone’s heart to start a small group (Bible centered, of course), just take the first step and let the Holy Spirit lead. He is doing so in my life.

Thank you Scott for your encouragement and for your heart for the lost.

Until He comes,

Dolly Levitsky

I am so proud of your efforts, Dolly. Amazing! Sometimes a church will have a bulletin board. If you desire to open up your group, then posting your day of week and time might inspire a few more to come. Just remember that when people come, or sometimes leave, it always seems to affect the group dynamics. Godspeed!

I appreciate you making this very important series. I'm a home church leader and I can certainly teach my few folks about such things to as much depth as we need. But this is taking hold fast and is of great risk to the church as you've shown. Churches are not ready for this and there needs to be an intervention as you say at the pastoral level.

Sadly, there are not many forums to teach pastors to make them aware but there are some in sure you are familiar with. Recently, Olive tree ministries started reaching out to pastors with the Pastor's Huddle to train senior teaching pastors about end times topics. Most of it is doctrinal but it is a growing forum through Mark Henry ministries and reaches the right guys.

I'd recommend proposing this as a topic as they are looking for input for future huddles. This is one of those DEFCON 1 topics that needs urgent warning to churches of things in motion right now and will be 10 times worse with new, potent versions of ChatGPT and Grok coming in the next few months.

Scott,

I can’t thank you enough for your wisdom and your call to the Body. I feel the same pressing call in my spirit.

I’ve recently resigned from my post and returned to full-time service. This fall, I’m launching a transformation cohort because I believe the deeper spiritual disciplines Jesus taught are essential if we’re going to stand firm in the days ahead.

I’ve also received approval to begin building regenerative, sustainable, and authentic community—rooted in the principles of life. This is how I’m walking out my calling, grounded in Isaiah 61:1–3 and John 10:10. My ministry is Zoe—the abundant life!

I’m so thankful to have found you. It’s rare. Most Christians simply don’t see what’s happening, and honestly, that can feel very discouraging.

Teresa, trust me—I am an average Watchman, nothing more. I could share story after story—hundreds and hundreds—of men and women “watching and warning”. They are all my hero’s. But I do agree many don’t see it. God peeled back my blinders so that I could see about 8 years ago. It was my time, in His timing. Press forward in your calling!

Thank you. Yes, this problem/deception is getting worse and driving deeper into the hearts and minds of people. I'm thrilled to hear about the pastoral doctrinal offering by Olivetree. That's terrific!

The flood waters are definitely rising. We have to hold on very tight to our faith and rise up in faithfulness to our Lord and Savior Jesus. Thanks for the series Scott. A true testament to all the rising dangers around us, and the need to guard our hearts. 🆕
