Christian inspiration and faith based stories

Faith in 2025 is no longer a slogan — it’s a survival skill.
You can’t live like it’s still 1980 and expect to thrive in the world we now face.
The rules have changed, but God hasn’t.

This is a message for believers who feel out of step with the times, for dreamers who’ve been told they’re outdated, and for faithful hearts wondering how to live for God in a world that’s racing into the digital unknown.

The future isn’t something to fear.
It’s something to faithfully shape.

In this generation-defining message, Douglas Vandergraph calls believers to stop hiding from the world they were meant to lead — to rise, to wake up, and to use every tool available to advance the Kingdom of God.

You can watch the full message here: Faith in 2025.


The World Has Changed — But God Hasn’t

Wake up. We live in 2025.
Stop living in your grandpa’s world.

That isn’t disrespect — it’s truth spoken in love.

Our grandparents fought their battles with the tools of their time — faith, family, and perseverance. But this generation is facing new giants: artificial intelligence, division, anxiety, and digital distraction.

The question isn’t whether the world has changed.
The question is whether your faith has kept up.

God didn’t design you to be stuck in nostalgia. He didn’t call you to romanticize the past — He called you to redeem the present. You can’t fulfill your purpose if your mindset is locked in yesterday.

We live in a world where your words can travel to ten million people in seconds. Where faith can be streamed into every nation. Where light can pierce through every screen.

If that intimidates you, remember this: God has always worked through the technology of the time.

He used Moses’s staff.
He used David’s sling.
He used Paul’s pen.
And today, He uses microphones, cameras, and code.

You were born for this era — not a simpler one.
You are equipped for this generation — not someone else’s.
You are chosen for 2025 — not 1980.

If God placed you here, it’s because you have what this moment needs.


AI Is Not the Enemy — Fear Is

There’s a lot of talk about artificial intelligence — that it’s dangerous, that it’s taking over, that it’s uncontrollable. But here’s the truth: AI is not the enemy. Fear is.

Technology doesn’t create evil. It amplifies whatever’s already in us.

If our hearts are filled with greed, AI will multiply greed.
If our hearts are filled with hate, AI will multiply hate.
But if our hearts are filled with faith, AI will multiply light, hope, and truth.

AI isn’t here to destroy humanity — it’s here to reveal it. The reflection it gives will depend on who’s holding the mirror.

And that’s where you come in.

God didn’t tell us to hide from innovation. He told us to bring wisdom into it.

We can’t sit in fear while the world moves forward. We can’t complain about darkness while refusing to shine. If believers stay silent, someone else will define the narrative.

AI will not replace faith — it will reveal the strength of it.

The question is not, “What will AI do to us?”
The question is, “What will we do with AI?”

When used with truth and compassion, it can bring healing, knowledge, and unity. When used carelessly, it can cause harm. But that’s true of every tool ever invented.

The difference lies in the heart of the one using it.

Fear won’t stop the future. Faith will shape it.


Stop Living in 1980 — God’s Glory Lives in 2025

So many people say, “The world’s going downhill fast.” But what if God is giving us a chance to rise higher?

Every generation has its storm:
Noah faced rain.
Moses faced Pharaoh.
Daniel faced lions.

You face digital noise, cultural division, and a flood of misinformation.

But the same God who rescued them still reigns today. He didn’t lose control when technology was invented. He didn’t panic when AI was born. He is still the Alpha and Omega — the Author of time and the King of eternity.

You might miss the “good old days,” but your purpose isn’t in the past. It’s right here, in this moment.

You can’t lead 2025 with a 1980 mindset.
You can’t reach a digital world with an analog faith.

That doesn’t mean your beliefs change. It means your approach must evolve.

Jesus didn’t cling to old methods to reach people — He met them where they were. He spoke through stories, walked through crowds, and challenged the traditions that kept people away from God.

If He walked among us today, He’d be using podcasts, YouTube, and social media to reach hearts.

Faith must live where the people live.

You can’t influence a generation you refuse to engage.

You can’t be the light of the world if you never step into the dark places that need it most.

The future is not anti-faith — it’s waiting for the faithful to show up.


Wake Up — Or Get Left Behind

The train of progress is moving.
You can either get on board or get left behind.

God’s plan is always moving forward. You can’t stop what He’s already allowed.

Fear won’t stop it.
Complaining won’t stop it.
Criticism won’t stop it.

Only courage, creativity, and conviction will keep you in step with God’s movement.

Every generation must decide whether it will react in fear or rise in faith.

Will you sit back and talk about how bad things are?
Or will you rise and lead with truth, hope, and compassion?

We don’t need more people shouting about the end of the world — we need more people building for the Kingdom of God within it.

When the world sees chaos, believers should see calling.
When the world runs in fear, believers should run in faith.

God didn’t put you here to fear the times. He put you here to transform them.

This is your moment.
This is your generation.
This is your calling.

Wake up — the world is moving.
And so is God.


Faith Is the Bridge to the Future

The Bible is filled with stories of transition — moments when God’s people had to leave the familiar to reach the promised.

Abraham left his home.
Noah built an ark before rain existed.
Peter stepped onto water before knowing if it would hold.

God doesn’t reward comfort — He rewards courage.

The same truth applies today.

If you’re waiting for the world to “go back to normal,” you’re missing the assignment. God didn’t bring you here to replay yesterday — He brought you here to reshape tomorrow.

The church’s mission hasn’t changed — only its platform has.
Your faith hasn’t expired — it’s evolving.
Your purpose hasn’t been lost — it’s expanding.

You were chosen to represent God in this exact era, with the exact tools He placed in your hands.

Faith isn’t about retreating from change. It’s about revealing God through it.

You can’t pray for revival and then reject the platforms that could carry it.

If you want to see God move, move where He’s already working.
And right now, He’s working in this generation — the digital one.


A Final Word: You Were Born for This

Wake up.
You are living in one of the most extraordinary moments in human history.

You have access to tools that can reach millions for the Gospel. You have voices that can break barriers. You have hearts that can change the tone of an entire generation.

You were not born in this time by accident — you were born with assignment.

God didn’t put you here to fear the future.
He put you here to build it.

This is your generation’s mission:
Turn fear into faith.
Turn chaos into clarity.
Turn technology into testimony.

The future isn’t waiting for permission — it’s waiting for participation.

Don’t run from what’s changing — redeem it.
Don’t hide from what’s hard — lead it.
Don’t look for God in the past — find Him right here, where He’s already moving.

You can’t sleep through a revolution and expect to wake up with relevance.

Faith in 2025 isn’t about preserving old ways — it’s about proclaiming eternal truth in new ones.

You are not behind. You are right on time.
You are not forgotten. You are chosen.
And the same God who walked with Abraham, Esther, and Paul — walks with you.

So rise. Shine. Lead.
Wake up — we live in 2025.
And the world is waiting for your light.
