If You’re Chasing Blessings, You Might Miss Jesus | A Conversation with Rev. Richard Whitcomb

Описание: In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, Reverend Richard Whitcomb shares his journey from California to the mission fields of Nigeria and Ghana — and the life-altering moment that taught him what true surrender really means.

From living in a jail to preach the Gospel…
To burning idols in remote villages…
To confronting lukewarm Christianity in today’s church…

This episode dives into the tension many believers avoid:

• Can you speak in tongues and still not know God?
• Is revival about church services — or heart transformation?
• Are we chasing blessings more than we’re chasing Christ?
• What does it truly mean to surrender everything?

This isn’t about religion.
It’s about motive.
It’s about intimacy.
It’s about whether we really know Him.

If you’ve ever wrestled with faith, compromise, revival, or the state of Christianity today — this conversation is for you.

🔥 Watch till the end and ask yourself: Have I truly surrendered?
