Nick Vujicic, the globally renowned evangelist and founder of Nick V Ministries, is issuing a solemn wake-up call to the American church, and Christians would do well to listen.
In a recent CBN News interview, Vujicic shared not only his mission to reach one billion people with the gospel by 2028, but also a prophetic rebuke to a culture, and a church, sinking in spiritual apathy.
“We don’t believe that there’s much time left,” Vujicic said, noting how many churches in America have shut their doors to unified outreach efforts. “Unfortunately the doors were not open in America for me—many churches to work together. They don’t want to work together. And it was grievous unto us.”

Vujicic’s words are not simply criticism; they reflect the biblical purpose of prophecy, to edify, exhort, and warn the body of Christ. His message should be received as such. “America’s grown cold to reaching the lost and not working together,” he warned. “In my heavenly report card as a church, we’re not doing that well, generally speaking.”
The cost of convenience and cultural conformity has been high, Vujicic said, pointing to 2005 as a turning point. “It was a big move in the Western culture of really watering down the gospel… With that, the cost of that was accountability out the door.” He added, “Today the youth pastors generally are babysitters and no one’s accountable to anybody, starting with the faith leaders.”
He didn’t hold back, citing alarming spiritual conditions within the church. “They got pornographic addictions. One in five people who go to church once a week are addicted to porn. We’re not talking about it. Oh, we can talk about human trafficking, but it actually starts with porn.”
The solution? A return to repentance, not as a shallow ritual, but in its true biblical form.
“What we need to repent of is a lack of compassion,” Vujicic said. “If you haven’t done something different and you actually haven’t turned and walked into the path of righteousness, you’re a delusional Christian that could actually go to hell. Period.”
The gravity of Vujicic’s message hits hard. “When you actually know the forgiveness of your sins that God gave you and you don’t forgive someone else, unforgiveness, you’re going to hell,” he stated. “Don’t look at me. Read Matthew.”
This kind of spiritual boldness is rare in today’s Christian landscape. Yet it is exactly the kind of rebuke Scripture calls prophetic: rooted in love, grounded in truth, and meant to bring about revival and restoration. Vujicic makes it clear that the American church cannot afford to remain on autopilot.
“We got Christians who are saved bleeding on the way to their grave,” he said, calling for intentional counseling, discipleship, and real accountability.

With a plan to call the nation into repentance through a new documentary project, Vujicic hinted at what may come if we don’t respond. “If we don’t, dude, I’m expecting the most crippling season of America because God loves us so much. He wants all of us and God doesn’t have all of us yet. So, He may allow some crazy things to happen before we actually repent.”
This is more than a warning—this is a prophetic appeal for the American church to remember who we are, and more importantly, whose we are. As Vujicic concluded, “Talk to God a little bit and read your Bible. You know, we’re the most biblically illiterate generation. You want to know why? ‘Cause most of you haven’t memorized the Scripture in the last three months.”
Vujicic’s heart cry is for revival, but not the kind that fills stadiums. It’s the kind that begins in the secret place, in brokenness and truth.
