September 7th, 2025 | Fortify | Ephesians 5:15-17
In this urgent and hope-filled message, Pastor Kyle Riley brings a passionate call to parents, leaders, and believers to wake up to the spiritual battle raging for the hearts of the next generation.
Drawing from Ephesians 5 and 6, Pastor Kyle unpacks the real problem—not just what's happening in the world, but what’s happening in our homes. Our walk—how we live—is the #1 apologetic to reaching the next generation. And the mission field? It starts right where we live, not in far-off places.
Whether you're a parent, grandparent, mentor, or student, this episode challenges you to:
Redeem the time and walk with discernment
Understand God’s will for parenting and discipleship
Recognize how the enemy slips into our homes unnoticed
Stop outsourcing discipleship and start fighting for your family
Become the spiritual leader your children need, not someday—but today
Through powerful Scripture, real-life illustrations (like a sparkler mishap that turned into a spiritual wake-up call), and honest reflection, Pastor Kyle reminds us: it’s not too late. There is hope, there is grace, and there is power in the name of Jesus to break strongholds and restore what’s been lost.
Key Scriptures:Ephesians 5:15–17, Ephesians 6:1–4, Deuteronomy 6,

Call to Action:- Parents and grandparents—pray over your families. Everyone else—get on your knees and fight in prayer for the next generation. The days are evil, but the light of Christ shines brighter when we choose to walk in wisdom.
