He emphasizes the importance of not replacing this baptism with a 'Prosperity Gospel' that promises material blessings, but rather following Jesus into His baptism of suffering.

Mike Atnip preaches about the life and methods of a 7/20 Missionary, exemplified by Ambrosius Spittelmayr, who challenged individuals in 16th-century Germany with thought-provoking questions about the essence of the gospel, true discipleship, and relationships with fellow believers. Ambrosius emphasized that being a disciple of Jesus involved more than just receiving forgiveness but required a commitment to imitate Christ, live out His teachings, and make the kingdom of God a reality on earth through self-denial and righteous living. As a 7/20 missionary, Ambrosius spent seven weeks evangelizing and asking probing questions, followed by 20 weeks in jail for his faith, ultimately facing martyrdom for his unwavering commitment to Christ.
