Freedom For Everyone

Feb 03 2025 10 mins

Unfortunately, Jay is under the weather with the flu this week, so we have a short, but very important talk. This is a great time to consider our intentions and our desire to not only advocate for others but for those that need freedom from the being an oppressor. I am sure that many of us know someone that has had a change of heart and now feels differently about someone else. We

We're all in the same boat now (Late peace makers and the current state of things)

It’s hard to find a lot of optimism right now. Compassion and mercy should always be bi-partisan. If you believe in grace and mercy, asking a leader to show mercy is something that should always be acceptable to ask for. When we are more divided than we have ever been, radical acceptance of where we are currently and where others are as well, will help us find common ground and,

Galatians 2025: Part 3

Jan 19 2025 57 mins

Is everyone welcome? When you turn away from grace too soon, it doesn’t have time to be inclusive. Jay was very excited about this message from Galatians 2. Paul takes a huge step towards inclusion. You might say he was a Super Friend to speak the truth to the disciples and to advocate for others. When Paul met with James, John and Peter in Jerusalem he reveals his message of rea

Galatians 2025: Part 2

A lot of this talk was about figuring out how we treat the disease rather than constantly fighting just the symptoms. Paul was able to take critique and often just ignore it and able to stand in his truth. We can lear to not be distracted by and Balme the individual but take it a deeper look at the system to find out what the root cause of an issue is. How does Grace fit into all h

Galatians 2025: Part 1

Jan 06 2025 52 mins

The perfect way to start off a new year is to revisit Galatians! Jay's talk covers a lot of ground in Galatians 1 and discusses how the writings of Paul can be practically applied in the current times. The hope is that this message can be used to encourage all of us to argue well, have empathy towards each other and bridge the gap that has been forming between us all. This talk was

Gentleness and Respect

Dec 27 2024 40 mins

A happy and merry Christmas from everyone here at Revolution. Jay did a special Christmas Day talk for everyone, and we think it will perk you up more than salt in your coffee! Today Jay talks about the Christmas Spirit…but probably not in the way you’re thinking. He focuses on trying to find a way for us to live the Christmas Spirit all year long—but we don’t mean decking

I Have a Utopian Dream

Dec 18 2024 41 mins

We’re all tired, and we’re all frustrated—and that shared sentiment can be heard in this talk. Sometimes it all feels like it’s too much. Too much hate. Too much anger. Everything we do seems to come at the expense of someone else, it’s maddening. Today Jay discusses the idea of love and power. Are love and power polar opposites? Can the two ever share a same space? Do ch

Today’s talk so something pretty cool! After years, Jay gives a talk to a live audience! Jay Bakker Live from ECMCC! It’s really fun to listen to Jay speak and hear feedback and reactions, rather than just reading them in chat. But even though the setting has changed, the talk, and spirit of Revolution stays the same! Today Jay talks about peace. He does a deep dive into the Go

A Chronology of Change

Dec 04 2024 63 mins

Today’s talk is a bit different, but also very much in line with Revolution. We’ve often heard Jay talk about Martin Luther King Jr, and the influence he had in his life—in that same vein, today we are going to look at Malcom X, another hero of Jay’s. We know that idea might be strange to some, and alarming to others, especially because today Jay is talking specifically Mal

When the Grid Goes Down

Nov 27 2024 56 mins

Today’s talk isn’t just about disagreeing well, and arguing well—that’s what it might seem like at first glance, but actually, it’s about navigating the reality that we live in. No matter what anyone feels about conservatives, liberals, LGBTQ, or any person they disagree with, the reality is: They exist. Plain and simple. Whether or not someone agrees or disagrees or reco
