About this listen

Why does the allegiance that radical terrorists give to their false cause exceed the allegiance that most Christians today give to Jesus Christ? In Insurgence, best-selling author Frank Viola presents a radical proposal for Christians. Namely, that we have lost the explosive, earthshaking gospel of the kingdom that Jesus, Paul, and the other apostles preached. Viola argues that we've lost this dynamic, titanic, living gospel and exchanged it for a gospel of religious duty or permissiveness and "easy believism." In today's politically charged era, Christians on the progressive left as well as the conservative right both equate their particular viewpoints with the kingdom of God. Viola challenges and dismantles these perspectives, offering a fresh and revolutionary look at the gospel of the kingdom. Viola writes with gripping power, challenging Christians to embrace an unparalleled allegiance to Jesus Christ and his kingdom. This high-octane message is being reclaimed today, launching a spiritual insurgence.

This book has been a true life-changer for me!

I read this book last summer, and man, the gospel presented here resonated with my heart mightily. I was enabled by Jesus to break free from what had become a victim mentality and lack of action on my part. I now understand evermore so that the Lord of all creation wants me, will never leave me, and that he is holding on to me in the jealous grip of his nail-scarred hands.

I get to live a life of joyful gratitude and service even when my medical condition seems to be an obstacle. Instead of playing the victim, my illness is a reminder of the grace of God active in my life. Had it not been for my illness I would have never realized my need for Jesus. The enemy meant it for harm. God intended it for good. Now I get to be there for others who are struggling and be used of God to bring healing to those around me.

Jesus loves me, this I know for the Bible tells me so. And I get to let others know of the hope found solely and uniquely in the gospel of the Kingdom of God where weakness is power, humility is strength, love is currency, and Jesus "who owns and loves us" is King and YHWH. Read Insurgence and you'll be encouraged and challenged to plow deeper into God without hesitation.

a Callout to the status quo of this Present Age !

The message of the Insurance will most definitely callout and challenge the status quo of this present age, this combined with the Master Class (Everlasting Domain: Restoring the Kingdom Message) has shaken me a lot just after listening to the MC, I was emotionally drained because of all the crying then came the book and it all started over again….no place to hide. It exposed a lot of things in my life and I am still busy working thru them.

The practical “Taking Action” part of the book is really ingenious, apart from the Message of the kingdom which is explained and expanded so clearly.

Personally I am doing quite a bit of “Restitution of what is Stolen” mostly items which I forgot about, in one case I am paying back a large amount of money.

Re my Work, I have abandoned the desire to “Progress” in Status or Monetary value, if the position should change then I want more time for the Kingdom.

Re Idols, I am questioning everything we own. I have asked the Lord to put his finger on the things that are smothering his Life to my surprise the Lord responded by showing me that the seed within in me is not growing effectively because I fall way in the day of trouble and persecution. The message “The Ultimate Issue” (Audio Supplement to the book) expanded this further, it’s very difficult to loose and not fight back when a brother points his finger at you but gaining an instinct for the Cross is the high road to take….what a valuable pointer.

As stated, the linchpin of the Kingdom is to learn by Living by the indwelling Christ corporately. I only know of 1 person that will perhaps join me. Some days I wake up and feel this is truly impossible why someone would want to do this, if I must be brutally honest if the Lord did not show me many years ago that he dwelled in me I would have perhaps given up completely.

A Kingdom Call

I appreciate Frank's approach to the kingdom call of the Gospel. While we live in this world, we are not of this world, but we are for this world. Time to prayerfully go to work.

Amazing insight! Turn On My Spiritual Afterburners

Saved and baptized 55 years ago; intentionally following the Lord for the past 40 years. I've been an unintentioan Legalist / Shade 4 and unfortunately raised my four children ( who are now grown and all serving the Lord everyday) in that environment, bringing heartache into their lives and others. Frank's book is teaching me and correcting me, and I look forward to a New Perspective and relationship with those around me. I'm telling all of my children, my pastors and everyone in our small group, and church acquaintances about the impact of this book on my life.

Life Changing!!!

This book has made a great impact on my life! Having been a Christian for 40 years, I feel God led me to this book to reorient my life to the true Gospel of the Kingdom! My views on so many things have taken a 180 and I feel I have gained such a deeper insight to biblical truths! I feel such love, joy, and peace like never before! Thank you Brother Frank for leading the way!!!

This is the Gospel that we have largely ignored

This is a very extensive presentation of the true Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. As a missionary and pastor for many years, I have long believed and taught most of what is contained in this book, but I haven't seen it all put together so thoroughly in a single volume. If I was to recomend one book to any serious Christian who is looking at the collapse of so much of the visibile Christian church in the west today and wondering where we went wrong, this is the book that will explain the true Gospel message that we have largely ignored or only focused on in part.

This is a must for every serous follower of the Lord Jesus Christ, and this audible book is very well presented.

Eye opening!

So many of the things that I had only seen a glimpse of are made so much clearer. This is truly revolutionary in the timeless message of Christ.

The true gospel that you've probably never heard

Love this book, this is one that needs to be read and then read again! Many people in church and who are Christians have never heard the gospel presented as it is here.

Great assessment of the direction of the true Church

I’ve been moving in a lot of the same directions even before COVID.

I resolved to never again give money to Churches if they own real estate. I work with the Afghan community and give most of my would be offerings directly to the family members of refugees in places like Pakistan. Lots of amazing stories I wish I could write about here but you’ll have to wait for eternity to hear about how God has been moving, using me. I give strategic and small gifts to supplement what they are already giving to support their own families ……so I am learning discernment and being a hilarious giver. Getting a lot of bang for my buck! I also give to a crisis pregnancy center called Thrive. They often have quintuple matching grants! More bang for the buck. Also give to Bible Broadcasting Network. They are very frugal with their money. More bang! In accordance with Galatians 6:6, I also will give to my teachers directly.
