WOKE Churches of Seattle

Given the recent Satanic statue toppling in Iowa we wanted to discuss the tension between government and religious holiday displays. This raised many questions as we tried to define what characteristics make up a religion. Join us for our last episode of Season 2 and 2023. Merry Christmas!

St. Mark's Cathedral is a Seattle landmark, its gorgeous facade can be seen from across Lake Union from multiple vantage points, however inside this church is a culture of anti-biblical rot. In our first episode of a multi-part series we delve into St Mark's "Queer in Christ" (QuiC) workshop - an LGBTQIA+ affirming ministry that targets "queer youth" and philosophically destroys the essence of Christianity.

In today’s society we advocate for better mental wellness, while at the same disregarding the benefits of religious practice on mental health. If the Church was more educated and willing to tackle our nations mental health crisis, we could see a lot of positive change.

Join us as we continue the topic of End Times Prophecies. Tom delves into how Islam interpret the End Times, the second coming of Jesus, and His role in their writings. These writings include some very peculiar elements to what seems like a rip off of the book of Revelation.

We discuss End Times Prophecy being a distraction from living with purpose, and how historical and current events in Israel have stoked these fears in Christianity.

We went to the gayest looking church in the area and heard a milquetoast sermon about Grace…oh the irony.

Pastor Justin Thomas, founder of Calvary Hill church in Seattle, deep dives into the real issues around homosexuality within the church and society at large with refreshing Truth. Rooted in the God’s original design of male and female relationships, Pastor Justin examines why sexual sin of all kinds keep us from truly walking in holiness. He guides us through how to truly love members of the LGBTQ community without affirming brokenness and sinful behavior. We highly recommend you watch the original sermon and the Q&A livestream.

Lots of social media and even some sects of Christianity believe that there's a socialist element to Jesus, in this episode we explore the popular verses in the Bible used to support those claims and show how they are incorrect in their assessment.

Christians are fearful of conversing in Biblically based politics in their churches. Because of this indulgence in fear, secular and out-right dangerous political messaging has increasingly filled the gaps where Christ should be.

New Episode! Join us as we debate an age old question: Can Women Be Pastors?

Pastor Brenda, Elder Nourisha Wells, and Dr. Valerie Bemo dive deep into a struggle session of inaccurate historical references in an attempt to untangle the lie that Black Americans are not “outdoorsy”.

In James 2:20-24 we learn that faith and works must go hand and hand otherwise faith is useless.

In an attempt to restore the world back to God's "original plan," Quest Church focuses on our relationship with the Earth. Toeing the line between Pagan and Christian beliefs, they fail to understand the fundamental necessity of ecological and spiritual hierarchies. Diminishing the unique quality of being made in God’s own image, this sermon proposes backwards theological thinking.

We've heard this term a lot, but is focusing on race really a good way to unify the body of Christ? The Church has been inculcated with an ideological doctrine that seeks to cause more division than unity. Join us as we unpack what Racial Reconciliation means and how it works against the unity Christ sacrificed his life for.

Join us for season two of WCoS as we deconstruct the complexities and elusiveness of the Woke Anti-Religion. In a world where people are suddenly unable to define what a woman is, they demand we define what woke means when we accuse them of this ideology. “Woke is a never ending struggle for power by hijacking human empathy; weaponizing victimhood status to gain control of social, cultural, and political hierarchies.” Resource Links: Bethany Mandel interview - https://youtu.be/vfCAsiBuL18?t=380 Ibrahm X Kendi Quote - https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/10316292-the-only-remedy-to-racist-discrimination-is-antiracist-discrimination-the Definition of Marxism - https://archive.is/v4qA1 Yuri Bezmenov Lecture - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CT3sZ6Zqr0w

Lesbian Pastor correlates laws passed to protect children from public drag shows with Nazi book burning.

Richmond Beach Congregational Church celebrates it's 132nd birthday by reducing God's word to a book of etiquette and grooming propaganda. Reverend Jill gives a lukewarm plea for consensus. Stating that, “being of one mind” is not done by thinking alike, but rather feeling alike. Her new age approach to scripture makes Christ a mere afterthought and promotes trans propaganda within the youth group. Listen to Rev.
