Friday with Jacob Prasch | The Death of Reason

Using his testimony as a starting point,  this message tackles Jacob's assigned theme: how prophecy and evangelism are inseparably linked. Anchoring the talk in Isaiah 1:18 (“Come now, let us reason together”), he argues that the gospel is not a blind leap but intellectually credible and historically defensible, contrasting it with what he portrays as religion’s subjective claims and man-made attempts to reach God. Drawing from his own background in 1960s counterculture, leftist politics, science-minded skepticism, and occult involvement, he describes how the “Jesus Freak” revival confronted him with evidence he could not dismiss—especially fulfilled messianic prophecies and external historical attestations that forced him from trying to disprove Christianity to accepting Christ. He critiques alternative religious systems and Christian counterfeits, then pivots to end-times themes—Israel’s centrality, geopolitical convergence, cultural decay, and deception within the church—to emphasize urgency: personal mortality and global instability are “time bombs,” but the “blessed hope” is available now through repentance and faith in Jesus the Messiah.
