Rising Above Apathy — Austin Brownlee | TGYS 2026
Austin Brownlee examines spiritual apathy through Romans 13:11–14, distinguishing an active walk with God from merely checking the boxes of Christian service. He addresses hidden sin, bitterness, worldliness, materialism, and priorities that displace time with the Lord, using personal testimony and ministry examples to illustrate their effects. His answer follows the passage: recognize the time, cast off the works of darkness, and put on the Lord Jesus Christ through an active walk with Him.
Topics Discussed- Spiritual sleep and going through the motions of Christian activity
- Hidden sin, bitterness, and the cooling of love for Christ
