Rob Wegner shares his journey of spiritual renewal, which took him from megachurch leader to microchurch pioneer.

This week Granger interviews Tony Wood about the doctrines of grace, human depravity, and God’s sovereignty in salvation. Tony emphasizes that salvation is entirely the work of God—humans are spiritually dead and unable to seek Him without divine intervention. He explains how this challenges modern views of autonomy, particularly in American culture, and often stirs discomfort around the idea of God’s control over all things, including evil and salvation. Despite the tension between God’s sovereignty and human responsibility, Tony affirms that Scripture teaches both. He shares his personal journey from thinking he chose God to realizing that God had chosen him, seeing this truth consistently throughout the biblical narrative—from creation to Christ to the birth of the Church. This theological shift profoundly changed Tony’s preaching. Instead of crafting messages around felt needs or cultural trends, he now practices expositional preaching—teaching the Bible verse by verse and letting Scripture shape the message. Granger and Tony agree that true church health begins in the pulpit, where God’s Word—not style, music, or production—must remain central. They encourage believers to seek churches that faithfully and deeply preach the Bible.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A prominent Ohio megachurch is facing public scrutiny after the arrest of Gary “Tom” Keesee Jr., the son of Faith Life Church’s founders, on two counts of child rape. The case, now in the hands of the Licking County Sheriff’s Office, involves allegations dating back over 20 years and has prompted questions about church leadership, political connections, and the role of public institutions. In this episode, we break down what’s known so far.Support the show: https://richlandsource.com/membersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this raw and real conversation, Joby Martin—pastor of Church of Eleven22—joins Goose and Gladiator to talk about everything from biblical masculinity to modern ministry struggles. Is your church asleep? Are men still leading? What's the real deal with “mega church” criticism? We talk tattoos, alcohol, discipleship, and the real battle men are facing today. Joby drops wisdom, wit, and some spiritual uppercuts. Whether you're in ministry or just trying to be a better man, this conversation will wake you up.

Mark was a church planter, establishing an off-site satellite campus. He was hired by a large, multi-campus ministry to resurrect a church with less than twenty members. Mark said there were signs of toxicity he should have seen before he signed on.

What does faithfulness look like when the ground beneath you literally shakes? In this deep dive into Revelation 3:7–13, Pastors Josh Howerton, Carlos Erazo, and Tim Smith, unpack the powerful message to the church in Philadelphia—a community that stood firm through earthquakes and persecution, earning Jesus' pure commendation. They explore what it means to be a spiritual pillar in a crumbling culture, how ancient history intersects with modern mission, and why evangelism isn't just for “professional Christians.” Plus, the crew tackles common myths about megachurches and shares practical ways to live like Jesus really is returning soon.    Stick around for a lively debate about Beast Games, and a moment of inspiration from a NASA believer who brought church to orbit.

DEVOTED Vision Sunday 1.26.25 “The danger is not that the church becomes irrelevant to the world; it's that the church becomes indistinguishable from the world.” – Mark Sayers, Reappearing Church Force #1: A society that has become increasingly individualistic • The Enlightenment (17th-18th century) • Protestant Reformation (16th century) • Capitalism and the Industrial Revolution • Urbanization and Modernization • Postmodernism and Secularization (20th century) • Technological advancements, Human Rights movements, a culture of consumerism Summary: All of these forces collectively shifted values from communal interdependence to personal freedoms and self-expression. Force #2: A church shaped by a culture of consumerism • Post-Reformation changes • First and Second Great Awakening (18th-19th century) • Urbanization • The Evangelical Movement (mid 20th century) • The Megachurch movement - celebrity culture – production-oriented churches Summary: The evangelical church in America has prioritized attraction and accessibility, played to the consumer mindset, and embraced shallow commitment over deep spiritual formation and communal discipleship. Acts 2:41-47 41 Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day. 42 They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43 Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. 44 All the believers were together and had everything in common. 45 They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. 46 Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, 47 praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved. Jesus' Paradigm for Discipleship: 1) INVITATION • Come and see 2) CHALLENGE • Take up your cross 3) TRANSFORMATION • Abide in me 4) MULTIPLICATION • Go and make disciples In the early church, baptism symbolized a covenant with one another—a commitment to live in fellowship, share mutual accountability, and embody love within the Christian community. How can we restore what has been lost and realign the church with God's heart and vision? 1. A commitment to Christ-centered living 2. A commitment to the way of sacrifice 3. A commitment to intentional community

More Americans than ever are single but they're not happy about it.

Then, political scientist Hahrie Han's new book “Undivided” explores why the racial solidarity program at an evangelical megachurch was more successful than corporate DEI programs, and how that success created unexpected challenges for the predominantly white church.
