The Wake-Up Call is a daily encouragement to shake off the slumber of our busy lives and turn our eyes toward Jesus. Each morning our community gathers around a Scripture, a reflection, a prayer, and a few short questions, inviting us to reorient our lives around the love of Jesus that transforms our hearts, homes, churches, and cities. seedbed.com/wakeupcall

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Kingdom 101: Reconcile People to God
Q: So we're talking about reconciling people to God as Kingdom 101.
The host and guest emphasize that reconciliation is the central work of Christ and the church, involving both personal transformation and public acts of peace, with prayer as the frontline discipline.
Jesus and Our Tech-Filled Lives with Andy Crouch | Wake-Up Call Conversations
Q: What concerns do you have about AI potentially becoming a god-like force, and how should communities respond?
The concern is that AI could move from being a powerful map of human thought to an idol that promises omniscience and control. The response is to demythologize AI, acknowledge its limits, protect human agency and wisdom, and anchor use in faith-informed ethics and embodied, communal life rather than surrendering to a godlike tech savior.
Jesus and Our Tech-Filled Lives with Andy Crouch | Wake-Up Call Conversations
Q: Could you explain the meaning of the two words 'easy' and 'everywhere' and how they relate to technology?
Easy everywhere is a concise way to describe the dream technology promotes—that life could be made effortless across all domains. Yet this dream, when taken to an extreme, can undermine genuine human flourishing by reducing meaningful effort, vulnerability, and relationship, and ultimately making love harder even as convenience increases.
What are "All The Things" Jesus Did? with Dan Wilt
Q: Tell us what's coming.
Dan describes the ongoing Pentecost-focused series, the activation language of waking up everyday ministry, and the goal of moving listeners from study to applied practice in friendship with Jesus.
Discipleship to Jesus Outside of Relationship Is Not Discipleship
Q: Would you describe your discipleship to Jesus over the course of your life as mostly relational or mostly individual?
The hosts encourage answering that question with honesty, suggesting that genuine discipleship requires relational depth and ongoing accountability within community.
