Sam Rohrer:

Hello and welcome to this Tuesday edition of Stand in the Gap today. And today I’m going to be talking with Dr. Jamie Mitchell. He’s our director of church culture and pastoral engagement here at the American Pastors Network. Jamie also normally hosts this program on Tuesdays, most frequently focusing on, I want to say, broader matters of pastor or church responsibility. But today we’re going to talk together about a topic, I’m going to say of mutual involvement. You’ll understand that, what I mean by that in just a moment. And our commitment as it relates to a focus of the American Pastors Network and an effort to encourage you are listening, but an energetic focus across our nation where pastors and churches in particular can become involved. And that focus is what we are terming our return to God Sunday. Now this is 2026. So 2026 Return to God Sunday.

It is scheduled for the first Sunday of February, which happens to be February 1st this year. Now it’s not the first year we’ve done this and we’ll get more into that in just a moment. But before we share more about that day, the reasons for it, resources that are available to help you to become a better part of it, let me share just a bit more of the background story of the return to God emphasis because it did have a beginning. I mean, obviously all of us understand that if there’s anything we need to do as a nation is to return to God. But it was about five years ago when I was looking at the unfolding of the fallout of the COVID days and we all remember how that produced such emotional and it just changed everything, did it not? As going through that entire time and leading up to election in the fall and all of that, I began to look around and think, “Boy, how are we responding to all these things as a nation?” And I was impressed with the fact of how much silence there was, silence from churches, silence from pulpits, even many people themselves just caught off guard by this event and things that were happening and almost a point of confusion.

And it drove me to the word of God even more. And at one point, the Lord kind of impressed on my spirit and brought this to mind and saying, “At the end of the day, it’s not what I think about what’s going on. What would God say about what’s going on? How should we be interpreting these events around us and all that’s going on from God’s perspective?” And that ended up being in an article that we wrote that was entitled A Letter to America From God. Now it was based on biblical principles, based on the word of God, but it dealt with taking the events that were happening and looking at biblical principles and having as if God was saying America wake up and at the end of the day, it was what we need to do is return to God. And from that theme is where the idea came of saying, “You know what?

If there’s anything that we can do to stay on a gap today and American Pastors Network and all that we’re doing is to encourage a biblical return to God.” And with that in mind, I’m going to just short circuit that because that went into then a discussion that Jamie and I had and from that came an emphasis that what could we do in our capacity to help our nation, to help our church, to help our pastors? Think in terms of what would God say about what needs to be done? What would God say about how we should interpret what’s happening around us? And ultimately what scripture does say is, God says, “Return to me, return to me. ” And with that comes return to God Sunday. That’s a little bit of a background. Jamie, with that in mind, just welcome to the program and I look forward to talking with you and getting thoughts about this emphasis.

Jamie Mitchell:

Sam, it’s so good to be with you, especially talking about return to God Sunday. I remember exactly the Zoom call you and I had and we asked the question, how do we respond to the letter from God? What does America and what does especially churches need to do? And we came up with, “Hey, let’s stage and help churches have a return to God Sunday at their congregation.”

Sam Rohrer:

And with that, in the balance of this segment, set this up here, I’m going to ask you two questions, combine them. What does it mean to you? And as we’ve talked about this, what does it mean to return to God individually, nationally, and work into that as well here about why it’s important for our churches in particular to become involved in this?

Jamie Mitchell:

Well, Sam, I mean, to make it very simple, when we say return to God, what we are assuming, or at least we believe happens is like any one of us, any of us, we can drift spiritually. We get off track, we get sloppy with our faith, we stop looking at the word of God, we have some times of compromise, maybe even tolerating sin. And all of a sudden the decline happens and we wake up one day and we’re not where we need to be. We’re really not in fellowship. We’re not having a dynamic walk with God. And as a pastor, I’ve seen this, as a Christian, I’ve experienced it. And like Robert Morgan, one of our guests has been on here, he says something very insightful. Every believer, every time they open their eyes in the morning, the first thing they need to do is say, “God, I need to return to you again today and begin our day.” But as churches and as believers, we need a moment in time where we can just say, “You know what?

I got to stop everything I’m doing. Where am I at? Can I evaluate where I’m at and where do I need to get back with the Lord? What steps do I need to take to maybe change the direction of my decline and get back with the Lord?” And so we came up as we talked, we said, “Look, on a yearly basis, it would be health for a church just to stop everything they’re doing, stop whatever they’re working on and take a moment again. And look, and as we found, and as we’ll talk in this program, Sam, Sam, the scriptures are replete where the prophets and others called people back to God because they had drifted. And that’s what we attempt to do. We want to help facilitate within the church a groundswell. And our thinking was, boy, what happens if many evangelical churches across the country would do this on the same day?

And thus, return to God Sunday was born.

Sam Rohrer:

And Jamie, that’s great, ladies and gentlemen. We’ll go further into detail, but you get the idea. I mean, God told Israel of old from a national perspective, now you fear me and keep my commandments and I’ll pour out blessings. So many, you’ll not be able to handle them. But if you forget that I am the one who made you great, if you forget that I gave commands for your best and you think up another way to do it, my blessings will turn to cursings. Well, think of that in terms of America. Think in them in terms of that of yourself, perhaps. That’s why it’s so important to return to God. And we’ll explain more of that fully and the resources and all that’s available for this emphasis, return to God Sunday, 2026, that we are looking towards doing that on February the 1st, the first Sunday here in February.

Well, if you’re just joining us here on this program today, our theme is this, what’s it remain to return to God? And return to God Sunday is really our focus because February 1st, coming up in not too many days from now, is an emphasis that we began a number of years ago here at the American Pastors Network, and we’ve made known on this program Stand on the Gap today, a necessity, an urgency for our nation, for those who know the truth of God’s word, to communicate to their people, pastors, to churches, congregants, to each other, frankly, fathers and mothers, to their children, employers to their employees. Anywhere there’s a godly person who fears God, the emphasis really needs to be the same. That is a return to God. Why do we say that? Because that’s what God says himself. So that being the case, let’s move a little further into this.

And with that, Dr. Jamie Mitchell, who leads our return to God Sunday efforts each year, I’m talking with him. Now I’m going to ask him some additional questions because he’s leading this effort on behalf of Pastor’s Network and want to give you some reasons to do it, knowledge about what this is and why, and then we’ll go from there. So Jamie, one of the things that I know you have said, and we’ve talked much about, and there’s a lot of different ways we could go at this. I mean, I just quoted from Deuteronomy in the last section where God told his nation, “Israel, fear me and keep my commandment. If you don’t, then you’re not going to see the blessing of God.” And he urged them when they departed to return to him. That’s the history of God’s interaction with his nation of Israel. But that’s the pattern for us.

But that brings us down to this. When people look around at our nation today, no one in their right mind can say that we see a land filled with unity in love, a fear of God, an embracing of biblical morality, an understanding that blessings come from God. No one could say that because it’s not there. The question is, how do we get to that point? Because at one point it used to be clearly a whole lot more that way. So you’ve considered that as well. What are you saying right now when you’re talking to people about this as to how our view of God has declined or become degraded?

Jamie Mitchell:

Well, Sam, in 1995, just think about that year, 1995, so over 30 years ago, Dr. Donald McCullough wrote a book and it was entitled The Trivialization of God. The subtitle was The Dangerous Illusion of a Manageable Deity. And what McCullough was saying in 1995 was so prophetic, but many didn’t even either understand it or I don’t even know if it became a bestseller. I happened to just pick it up because I was intrigued by the title, began to read it. I said, “This guy’s onto something.” And his thought was basically that the evangelical world, in their attempts to try to be more relevant, be able to speak the gospel to people, they began to say things like this. We removed the word sin and wrath and come off being so dogmatic about our beliefs. We’re really pushing people away. What we need to do is make Christianity and Christ and God more relatable, more reachable, more touchable.

We need to make God more like us. Well, Sam, I understand what Paul says were to be all things to all people so that the gospel can be heard by everybody. But what began to happen was Christians began to take their own opinions and ideas and began to build their whole theology. And what has happened in 30 years is what McCullough had warned about, a trivialization of God. And Sam, we see it. We see it today in our music in the church. And again, not to be a stick in the mud, but Sam, the reformers believed that music was a tremendous tool to communicate deep theological truths. And today we’ve got this bubblegum type of music that it doesn’t seem serious and really downgrades the majesty and glory of God. And then Sam, the absence of prayer in churches, it bothered me when I visit churches.

And the only thing I can come to is the fact is that people think to themselves, “Well, I don’t need God, or God can’t answer my prayers.” Our nonchalant attitude about how we live our lives in the world and allowing worldliness to slip into the church. And Sam, I can keep going, but the fact of the matter is it’s even worse seen in the pulpits of America. And so that’s why this year, what we’re attempting to do through Return to God Sunday is challenge pastors and challenge churches. We need to elevate, elevate the person and the majesty and the glory and the character of God and get people looking up again and have a high view of who God is. And because here’s the problem, Sam, if we live in this state of trivialization of God, there’s no reason to return to him. There’s no reason to repent.

There’s absolutely no reason to even ask God for revival. I don’t need it because the guy I looked in the mirror at this morning is my God, not the God of heaven, not the God of the Bible.

Sam Rohrer:

And you know, Jamie, what you are describing is what when Dr. George Barna is with us mostly on Fridays and we’ve done with him for many, many years now. But the research that he has found among the church and those who profess to be Christians in the country actually statistically confirms what you are saying there. And when 74%, the latest numbers are of those in America would say, “I am a Christian.” But when well over 50%, 60% of them don’t believe that Jesus lived a totally sinless life, as an example, or don’t believe that the Bible is all true, it’s partly true, or that the Holy Spirit is a real person, it’s a thought, he’s a thought. When you break them all down, you’re down into a very small category of people. And actually those numbers I gave you there are those even pertains to those 30% approximately who say they are evangelicals, who say they are born again.

It’s a very small number. So the point being is that our view of God is directly related to our view of the authority of scripture, isn’t it? Because that’s how we know about God. So if we can pick and choose what the Bible says, I guess we can make God in our own image, which is basically what the survey says and what you are saying.That’s why a return to God is so necessary, isn’t it?

Jamie Mitchell:

Sam, I’m struck. When Moses in Exodus three and four, when he has the Burning Bush experience, I mean, the fact of the matter is being out in the middle of nowhere and seeing this unextinguishable Bush, I mean, obviously it’s an awesome experience, but remember how Moses responded. He took off his sandals. He knew he had a sense of awe about him and his whole attitude changed and he didn’t fully even understand who Jehovah was. He had just had his first encounter with Yahweh and he could hardly even take it and he had to cover himself. He was in struck with all. And again, we see the exact same thing happen in Revelation one, don’t we Sam? When John has his vision in Revelation one and Jesus comes to him, what happens? John falls to the ground and he is, and it says in the text, as if he were dead and in kindness and in comfort, the Lord Jesus takes his right hand of strength and touches John and lifts him up, but John was in awe of who his God was and whose presence.

Sam, we’re missing that. We’re missing that. And so the net of that is, if I don’t have that kind of all respect, if I have trivialized who God is, why would I want to listen to the Bible? I am not going to affix any authority to scripture and I could go through the entire hermeneutical and bibliological reason why the Bible is true, but if I don’t believe that the one who wrote the Bible is the God of the universe, he is highly exalted and I am in awe of him, why would I even listen to what the Bible says?

Sam Rohrer:

And that’s a great question to ask. And ladies and gentlemen, that’s part of asking the question. And I would say the emphasis that we’re going through is for the reasons that we’re saying, but for each one of us, what’s your Apostle Paul say? Romans 12, “Be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” How do we get a remind renewed, recalibrated, so to speak? It’s from God’s word and reading it and having the Holy Spirit speak the truth into our heart with what goal? Well, to be more Christlike. For what purpose? To bring more glory to God, not to us, to becoming more holy and righteous in our living. Why? Well, if we know him and know Christ as our savior, we are ambassadors for him, for God himself. We’re here with a purpose. How can we do what we’re supposed to do if we don’t even really understand who it is?

All of these things are wrapped up in the reason why and the necessity for us to return to God, understand who he is in his awesome nature. We’ll be right back. Well, if you’re just joining us today, Dr. Jamie Mitchell, one of the hosts who generally host this program on Tuesday and is leading our American Pastors Network effort, a yearly effort. Actually, this is our fifth year of doing this. We call it Return to God’s Sunday. We encourage pastors, churches, congregants to encourage their pastors, pastors to lead their sheep in an emphasis. We think it’s a great thing, as many people can do it on a given day, that there’s certain power in that, but if we’re not able to do that day, you can do it another day. And frankly, in reality, as we are talking about returning to God, it’s not a one-time event.

Can I just say that right up front? It’s just not something you decide to wake up one morning and say, “All right, today I’m going to return to God.” Well, if you don’t know what that means, how is it going to happen? And it’s not a one-time decision. It really is like I just shared in that last segment from Romans chapter 12, the Apostle Paul’s instruction is that not being conformed to this world so that we can be transformed in our mind, in our heart, transformed to what? Thinking not like the world, but thinking like the Bible, thinking like a biblical worldview, thinking like Christ, thinking like what the Bible says we ought to think. That’s what it means. To do that, we need to be transformed in our minds so we can be conformed to the image of Christ. That’s not a one time thing.

That’s a day by day event. It’s a regular recalibrating. And when we do not do that, it’s possible to wake up one day and all of a sudden say, “Man, boy, how far have I drifted?” I didn’t know we could go that far out into the water, that far away from God. That is why as a nation we look at where we are and rather than looking to Washington, looking to someone else to give some kind of hope for how the problems are going to be fixed, we know at the end of the day, no one can fix the problems that we have because they come out of the heart. The only one that can do it is the Lord. And so returning to God becomes a part of all of this. Jamie, let’s transform and actual some of the doing. Share some of the specific focus we’re suggesting that pastors can take with their people this year, particularly on this return to God Sunday.

Jamie Mitchell:

Well, Sam, because we’re starting with the premise, and this is what we present to our pastors because we’ll provide for them a sample sermon, which will basically outline what we’re trying to emphasize this year because we’re starting with this idea that we believe the lion’ share of evangelical Christianity have fallen prayed to trivializing who God is. We want to exalt the Lord. We want to lift him up. And so our theme this year is he is worthy. He is worthy. And once we re-elevate in our mind and our hearts and our will that God is exalted and high and lifted up, and we again announce and proclaim and clarion the greatness of God, the awesomeness of God, the otherness of God, that there is none like him and why there is none like him, that will begin. Then people can start to reacclimate and reorient their hearts back to God and they can restore fellowship, they deal with sin, they can walk with confidence, they can pursue righteousness.

And we believe that if that kind of revival and returning were to happen throughout the churches of our nation, the byproduct of that would be an elevation then of our nation to get back to being a nation that at least had an idea of the importance of pursuing righteousness and exalting righteousness as a nation.

We believe that the nation just changed by God’s people living a different type of life. And so this begins it. And so, and our key text is Isaiah 40, Isaiah 40.

Sam Rohrer:

And I was going to ask you though to go there because go to Isaiah 40 and explain briefly why Isaiah 40 speaks so clearly to the greatness of God and how this can be utilized by those who are listening as well as pastors emphasizing it from the pulpit. But this is something that each of us individually who know the Lord can do. Share some of the power of Isaiah chapter 40 in bringing us to the conclusion that yes, he is worthy. Well,

Jamie Mitchell:

Sam, we got to understand Isaiah. Isaiah is a mini Bible, 66 books, 66 chapters like the 66 books, and the 39, the verse 39, Isaiah is outlining, explaining the disobedience and the drifting and Israel and Judah’s need to return to God. The last 27 chapters are about the glory of the coming Messiah and that their answer is not their own efforts, but that God in his mercy is sending the suffering servant who will redeem and rescue them. Chapter 40 is the hinge verse, is the hinge chapter. It takes us from the groanings of the first 39 chapters and entry and in the entryway into the last 27 chapters that talk about the glory of the coming Messiah. And to do that, Isaiah knew, just like we know today, there has to be an elevation of who God is. And so the chapter 40 is really probably titled The Greatness of God, but in it, Isaiah gives us by the Holy Spirit, he gives us four qualities or pictures of God’s greatness.

He is the creator, God. He has uncontainable power, Sam. There is no one and nothing that has the power like God. And if you really want to see it, just look at his creative power as creator. He had the ability to create and make something from nothing and he had the authority to rule and reign over this world. And today he holds this world together. So the creator, God. And then he talks about the counselor, God. Who consults? Who does God consult with? Whoever can sit down and counsel God. And that rhetorical question is answered nobody because God has infinite knowledge. He has unfathomable knowledge. He knows everything. He knows things that we will never know and never fully understand. He knows everything about us. He knows the past, the present and the future. His knowledge gives him power. Look, Sam, if you have knowledge, you have power.

That’s what everybody tells us. That’s why we all walk around with iPhones. We have knowledge in our hand. But the last time I look, God never needed to have an update sent to him like I have to have an update sent to my phone.

God needs no updates. So his knowledge tells us of his greatness. And then thirdly, he’s a conquering God. He says the nations are a bucket to God. And who’s going to deal with our enemies and who’s going to make right all the wrongs? Who is going to put down the opposition? God is. And God has proven over and over and over that no one thwarts him, no one stands in his way. Matter of fact, throughout the scriptures, he’s basically said to God’s people, “Get out of the way. If you want to do anything, just go worship me, cry out to me, lift up your hands to me. I will deal with the enemies in your life. You have nothing to fear, nothing to worry about. You will be neither left or forsaken.” And then finally, Sam, the greatest thing, if all those powerful things didn’t change you, he says, “Look, he is the comforting God.

He is the great shepherd who comes. He gives strength to the weary. He lifts up the broken. He restores the one whose face is on the ground and this powerful God can restore our lives and change our lives and make us whole.” And that’s the picture we want to put forth. And our belief, Sam, is if we again can reestablish in the mind of Christians that he is worthy because he is great. He is awesome. He is powerful. He is overwhelming. Why not trust him? That’s the God we need to return to. That is the God we need in our lives. Why would we try to take care of our lives and be self-sufficient and think that we have all the knowledge and think that we can defeat our enemies and think that we can take care of our problems. We can’t. We need God.

The God of Isaiah 40 to show up in our lives and he is then worthy to return to.

Sam Rohrer:

Amen, Jamie. And I’m just going to read, ladies and gentlemen, the last four verses of Isaiah 40. All right. Let me just read this for you. There’s power in the word of God. “Has thou not known. Has thou not heard that the everlasting God, the Lord, Yahweh, the creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary.” There is no searching of his understanding. He gives power to the fate and to them that have no might, he increases strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary and the young men shall utterly fall, but they that wait upon the Lord. Shall I say those who return to the Lord and wait upon him shall renew their strength And they shall mount up with wings as eagles. They shall run and not be weary. And they shall walk and not faint. The Lord of the Bible, Yahweh, the God, the creator God.

There is none like him. There is none like him. He is above all. So when we say return to God, it’s not to return to God of our making, not return to the God of this world. Return to the God creator. The God of Isaiah. Here, Isaiah chapter 40. Go back and read that and encourage you to do that when we come back. We’ll conclude with talking about some available resources, how you can actually get right involved in this emphasis. Well, as we go into our final segment today, if you’ve been with us from the beginning, you know what we’re talking about. And Dr. Jamie Mitchell and I are discussing and trying to make known as best we can. I’ve mentioned it on past programs about the event coming up. The event is we’ve termed return to God Sunday. It’s set for February 1st, the first Sunday of February, just a few weeks off.

This is about the fifth year that we have done it. And if you didn’t catch the program, gave a little bit of a backstory, a little bit of a history of what began the concept some years ago. The article that the Lord led me to write as if God was addressing America today based on the events and the challenges that were before us as a nation some years ago. It’s called Letter From God to America. It’s fictitious from the standpoint that it is not a letter from God. God did not pen it. And we never ever tried to say that. But it is consistent with biblical principles and with passages from scripture where God does speak to us as a nation, any nation or a people who once knew God, like our nation did, when times come that are difficult. In reality, God speaks to nations like he told Israel, “You fear me and keep my commandments.” He said, “I will bless you with so many blessings.

You can’t count them. Think America.” But he also told Israel, when you get to the point where you have much and you are experiencing and enjoying the blessings that came from my hand and the greatness that came from my hand because of your obedience and fearing me, and you think that you did it yourself. Deuteronomy eight says this. And you think that you did the blessings that you have, the wealth that you have, the prestige that you have, the dominance that you may have around the world. If you think that that came from your hands, the blessings are going to be turned into cursings because what has been done? When that happens, when we think that greatness comes from our hands, that we have done what God only can do. We have pulled God down from the throne and we have raised up ourselves. Idolatry comes into being and God will not share his name with anything else or anyone else.

And hence, God would tell Israel when they walked away, he’d bring judgment into their lives and he said, “Come back to me. Come back to me. Return to me. ” This emphasis this year, return to God and our primary theme that’s throughout that is God is worthy because he alone is worthy. And if we don’t think that and act that way in our lives, we will never, ever return to God, really the way the Bible says. Now, all that in mind, Jamie, a lot of things have been put together. You’ve worked on a number of elements of resources that are now available on our website. Why don’t you just share a little bit of what is there, particularly that. Let’s start with that one that’s available to walk into that Sunday with.

Jamie Mitchell:

Well, Sam, we have a number of things. If they go to our website, Americanpastors.net and they click on the resources or click on the banner page there about Return to God Sunday, they’re going to find two things. This will be a pastor can do this. He go on there and there’s two things that we have made available that I think are most helpful. And one is a sample sermon. I have written the sermon on Isaiah 40, have given the outline, have given a lot of background, a lot of the illustrations. You have it there. Pastors, you can do with it what you want. You have your own illustrations, all of that, whatever you feel comfortable. But we’re trying to get into your hands some information through that sample sermon that will have somewhat of a unity and some affinity in as we try to re-elevate God.

And again, show God’s people that he is worthy. He is a great and powerful and awesome God. And so go on there, click on that. As we’ve said, you can do it on February 2nd. That’s the day we’re hoping that people will do it. But again, Sam, I preached this message yesterday at a church. I’m going to be preaching it. I preached it this Sunday rather. I’ll be preaching it again at a couple of Sundays in North Carolina. And so it doesn’t necessarily have to be on that day, but we would like to have some unity on that. And so do that. So plan it, there’s information on there about music and all of that. And then as a follow-up, as we have done in the past, I’ve written a devotional guide. And this year, I have it holding it in my hand. We have it available in PDF form that pastors can download it and they can either print it off themselves or if they want, just cut and paste and send it out every day via email.

Pastors can do whatever they want with it. It’s there for you. But this year, our devotional is called To Whom Do We Return To? To Whom Do We Return to? And the subtitle is Understanding the Names and Character of God. And so for seven days following the Return to God Sunday, we will be looking at one of the names of God and the passage involved in that, and then a description. And again, for people to start to, again, to elevate the names of God. What does Elohim mean? Who is Adonai, the Lord that leads? Jehovah Jireh, the God that provides all things. Jehovah Rafi, the God who heals, El Shadai, El Yeh. Sam, we just believe that again, if God’s people can get a dose of the majesty, the greatness, the intricacies of who God is, the depth of who God is and elevate it.

In church history, Sam, people like Tozer and others really believed that God’s people needed a dose constantly of understanding who God was to constantly remind us to stay away from kind of drifting away. And that’s what our goal is with the devotional guide, with the sample sermon and some of the other things, and sign up and do it and plan it, and then give us feedback. We desperately want to hear. We’ve been doing this for five years. We produce things like our state of the church report. So to help pastors, to help churches. We’re seeing what’s happened across the nation. We’re grieved at our country, but we’re also grieved at what’s happening in the church of the Lord Jesus. And we know a return has to take place, a revival has to take place. And we want to be a help and a blessing for that.

And so to do that, we provide and give the resources that we think will really help pastors.

Sam Rohrer:

And Jamie, with that, thank you so much, ladies and gentlemen. I’m just going to close and prayer if I have time here, but you can go to our websites at Americanpastors.net. All these things are available. You can also find there or on YouTube, letter to America from God and go and watch that which we put in video form as well. Let’s pray. Heavenly Father, Lord, we are thankful that you’ve given us your written word. We thank you that you have sent your son the word of God in flesh to camp, to come, die for our sins, offer us a way to be reconciled to you. And I pray, Father, for those who are listening, if they do not know you as Savior, that they trust in you because until they do, there is no way they can return. So we pray that they start there and then those, Lord, for those who do know you, I pray that we would be renewed in our mind and daily lift you up the way we ought for surely thou art worthy.

In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen. Thank you for being with us today, Dr. Jamie Mitchell. Thank you for all the work that is done. And we pray, ladies and gentlemen, that we together would return to God. He alone is worthy.
