How to Escape Your Lukewarm Era Before It's Too Late

I spent two years lukewarm. Going to church. Posting verses. Telling people I was “in a season.” But honestly? I was bored of God, and I was scared to admit it.

If that’s you — keep reading. Here are three things that actually pulled me out.

1. Stop performing for an audience that isn’t watching

Lukewarm faith almost always has an audience problem. You’re praying for the people who might see you pray. You’re reading Scripture so you can quote it later. The fix isn’t trying harder — it’s getting alone.

“But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen.” — Matthew 6:6

For one week, do nothing spiritual that anyone else can see. No posts. No church updates. No quoting verses in the group chat. Just you and God in a closed room. You’ll be shocked how empty (or full) your faith actually is.

2. Find one verse that scares you and live there

Lukewarm Christians collect verses like Pinterest boards. On-fire Christians camp on the verse that wrecks them.

Mine was Luke 9:23 — “deny yourself, take up your cross daily.” I read it every morning for a month. I asked: what am I refusing to deny today?

3. Confess to someone who’ll actually hold you to it

Not a friend who’ll say “we all struggle, bro.” Find someone who loves you enough to be uncomfortable. Tell them the specific thing you keep returning to. Ask them to text you about it every Friday.

That’s it. No hype. No 30-day challenge. Just three quiet, unsexy moves that work.
