Guest article: Confessions of an Exvangelical
By Jamye Semons I was a Full Gospel pastor’s wife. I was evangelical, anti-LGBTQ+, “pro-life” and pro- Second Amendment, and voted for my favorite conservative politicians thinking they would surely turn things around and give our country back to God. Then, my marriage fell apart. I found myself in the home and arms of a… Continue reading

New article on RLC: The Leaven in the Loaf: How Jesus Named the Corruption of the Church—and Why We Refuse to Repent
There are moments when something you’ve been carrying for a long time finally finds the right place to land. This week, Red Letter Christians published my latest piece — an exposure of the three leavens Jesus warned about: the Pharisees, the Sadducees, and Herod. Not as ancient history, but as living forces shaping the modern… Continue reading

Start Here.
This isn’t a brand. It’s a build. The People’s Revival is being built in public — unfinished, unpolished, and unapologetically rooted in the actual words of Jesus. If you’re looking for church performance, partisan Christianity, or spiritual consumerism, you won’t find it here. If you’re tired of: Christian nationalism dressed up as faith Moral grandstanding… Continue reading

When Laodicea Holds a Revival
Principle: The Church That Forgot the Fire There was a church in the valley of Lycus that had everything — trade, influence, wealth, and comfort. Its people dressed fine, spoke smooth, and mistook their comfort for the favor of God. The city was Laodicea — and Jesus Himself said He’d rather vomit them out than… Continue reading

Revival: God’s Public Rejection of the Status Quo
Principle: The God Who Disrupts Every real revival in history has been God’s way of saying, “This is not what I meant.” Not a pat on the back for the religious order — but a divine interruption. A holy contradiction. When human religion builds comfort into a cage and calls it “faith,” God shakes the… Continue reading

They say watch your… Continue reading

The 12th Mark: Stand With the Marginalized
Principle We are living under the twin fangs of late-stage capitalism and resurgent fascism. Capitalism grinds the worker to dust, devouring every hour, every wage, every scrap of dignity. Fascism stalks the streets, emboldened by fear and hatred, draped in flags and false religion. Together they strip away rights, silence voices, deport workers, erase diversity,… Continue reading

The 11th Mark: Pursue Justice Relentlessly
Principle Empire feeds on neglect and exploitation. It starves the worker with long hours and low pay, bleeds the poor with rent and debt, and lets whole neighborhoods rot until developers can cash in. When those neighborhoods cry out, empire does not answer with care — it answers with cops. But police protection isn’t tied… Continue reading

The 10th Mark: Witness, Teach, and Reconcile
Principle Empire thrives on lies and division, and the church has sold itself to empire’s script. They rail against the poor for “sins of the flesh” while practicing the deeper sins of the spirit — apathy, complacency, and compromise. They wag their fingers at smoking, drinking, or how people dress, but they bless greed, applaud… Continue reading

The 8th Mark: Form Real Communities
Principle Empire wants you scattered. Alone at your job, alone in your apartment, alone in your exhaustion. That’s how they keep you weak. That’s how they keep you silent. A worker divided is a worker controlled. And the church? They’ve perfected the same scam. They herd you into pews, once a week, call it “family,”… Continue reading
