The Awakening - with Michael Kubisky

Amazing Grace, or Amazing Ma? When worship shifts

In a world where culture constantly redefines truth, worship has slowly begun to shift from being God-centered to self-centered. In this thought-provoking episode of The Awakening with Michael Kubisky, Michael dives into the growing trend of modern worship, music, and spiritual movements that blur the line between glorifying God and glorifying ourselves. What happens when “Amazing Grace” becomes “Amazing Ma?” Are we still pointing people to Jesus Christ… or creating a version of worship built around human emotion, self, and culture? This episode takes a bold biblical look at discernment, the state of worship today, and why Jesus alone is worthy of praise. Through honest conversation, scripture, and cultural examples, Michael challenges listeners to return to worship that is rooted in truth, holiness, and the Gospel. 📖 “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” — John 14:6 Jesus is worthy to be worshiped. God is God… and we are not. #TheAwakeningPodcast #MichaelKubisky #AmazingGrace #ChristianPodcast #FaithOverCulture #BiblicalTruth #JesusIsKing #Worship #SpiritualDiscernment #Revival #TruthMatters #ChristianMedia #WakeUpChurch #GodFirst

A reminder that God doesn’t uproot what He plans to abandon—He uproots what He plans to grow.
