Luke 11:37-54 - Pastor Andy Wood

Segment 1: • Jesus Wasn't ‘In the Middle'—especially on issues of life and death like abortion. • Rick Warren's Bad Tweet: His attempt at neutrality backfired, and after backlash, he deleted it. • The ‘Middle' Is a Position Too: Avoiding a stance doesn't make you neutral—it's still taking a side. Segment 2: • Pastor Andy Wood's Apology: He retracted his positive tweet about the inauguration—why? • Biblical Leadership Includes Prayer: Paul commanded believers to pray for leaders, so why apologize? • Seeker-Sensitive Churches Avoid Hard Truths: Talking about real issues might drive people away—but is silence worth the cost? Segment 3: • Wheaton College Backtracks: They deleted a tweet congratulating a Trump appointee—why are schools afraid of association? • Politics & Salvation: When people get saved, their worldview aligns with biblical truth—so why the hesitation to affirm believers in politics? • Is Todd Soft on Immigration? Some might think so, but the bigger issue is how evangelicals let tone divide them. Segment 4: • Matthew 21's Fig Tree Proclamations: Jesus called things as they were—He never softened truth to be accepted. • An Atheist's Take: Some claim prayers before government meetings are outdated—how should Christians respond? • Perspective Shift: If believers endured corrupt governments in 1512, can we not remain faithful today? Stay focused on the bigger picture. ___ Thanks for listening! Wretched Radio would not be possible without the financial support of our Gospel Partners.

Psalm 42-43 - Pastor Andy Wood

It's Friday, July 5th, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Nigerian Muslim terrorists demand ransom for kidnapped pastor Boko Haram, the Islamic terror group, recently shared a video on social media in which Nigerian Pastor Paul Musa was pleading for his life as an armed, masked Islamic extremist stands behind him, reports International Christian Concern. The Muslim terrorist group abducted the 59-year-old pastor and his wife, Ruth, age 50, in March 2023 from their home in Borno State, Nigeria. In the video, the pastor is wearing orange clothing, reminiscent of the orange jumpsuits worn by the 21 Egyptian Coptic Christians that the Islamic State group beheaded on a beach in Libya in 2015. The Muslim militants demanded the pastor's family pay $130,000 by Monday, July 8th or Pastor Musa would be killed. Since 2009, Islamic extremists such as Boko Haram, Islamic State West African Province, Islamic Fulani militants, and unidentified gunmen have killed an estimated 45,000 Nigerian Christians. In fact, earlier this month, members of Islamic State West African Province executed three Christians in the Borno State. These groups also continue to kidnap pastors and priests and hold them for ransom. It is critical that there is a loud cry from American Christians to the persecution of Christians in Nigeria. Please send a polite, yet firm physical letter to Dr. Uzoma Emenike, the Nigerian Ambassador, asking her to use her influence to save Pastor Paul Musa. Send your letter to Nigerian Embassy, 3519 International Court, NW, Washington, DC 20008. You can also email Mr. Rabi Luwal, Head of Information, to two specific email addresses in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com.  RabiuLawal@NigeriaEmbassyusa.org, PublicComplaints@NigeriaEmbassyUSA.org Hezbollah launches big attack on Israel The Lebanese Hezbollah group said it launched over 200 rockets on Thursday at several military bases in Israel in retaliation for a strike that killed one of its senior commanders, reports The Associated Press. An atheist set to become new British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, an atheist, is on course for a landslide election victory as the next British Prime minister, and leader of the Labour Party. Starmer is forecast to win 410 seats, putting the party on track for its best result since 2001. In a brutal reckoning, the Conservatives are set to be reduced to just 131 Members of Parliament, their lowest number since the party was founded in 1832. The Liberal Democrats are expected to get 61 seats. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, a Hindu, was heading for crushing defeat as voters rejected Tory rule after 14 years. Hurricane Beryl's trail of destruction in Jamaica Hurricane Beryl is churning toward the Cayman Islands and Mexico  today after leaving a trail of destruction in southern Jamaica, killing at least two people on the island nation, bringing down power lines, and leaving hundreds homeless and in shelters, reports NBC News. That brings the total dead this week in the Caribbean to nine. Hurricane Beryl had maximum sustained winds of about 160 mph, reported the National Hurricane Center, putting the storm in Category 5 status. Since debate, Trump's lead widens by additional 3% Former President Donald Trump is leading President Biden 49% to 43% among likely voters in the latest New York Times/Siena College poll, reports Axios.com. That's a three-point swing for Trump since the debate, and his largest lead in the survey since 2015. Democrats begin to consider Harris at the top of their ticket As President Biden continues to face questions about whether he should end his bid to seek a second term, there are growing signs that many in the Democratic Party are willing to accept the notion of Vice President Kamala Harris at the top of their presidential ticket, a potentially significant shift, reports The Washington Post. In candor, many Democrats were also worried that Harris would be a weak candidate, based in part on her ill-fated presidential run in 2020, when she was forced to drop out before a single vote was cast. But choosing someone instead of Harris, the first woman of color to serve as vice president, seemed politically untenable. Andy Stanley criticizes Southern Baptists for ousting Rick Warren's Saddleback Church over female pastor Georgia megachurch Pastor Andy Stanley has criticized the Southern Baptist Convention for disfellowshipping Rick Warren's Saddleback Church over its unbiblical approval of female pastors, reports The Christian Post. In a sermon Sunday at North Point Community Church of Alpharetta, Stanley, the son of the late Charles Stanley, a Southern Baptist pastor, expressed his strong disagreement. STANLEY: “One of the two people who really launched this movement way back in the late 70s is Rick Warren. Before he wrote The Purpose Driven Life, he wrote The Purpose Driven Church. That book sold millions of copies to pastors, and it was a book about how to create a church that's for outsiders, for unchurched people. He is a modern church reformer. “Last year, his denomination kicked him out of the denomination for something immoral? No! Something illegal? No! Something to do with money? No!  Because he's had some addiction. No, none of that, you know, glamorous stuff. “They kicked him out because he had the nerve to ordain three female staff members who were functioning as pastors. He ordained them as pastors, which is actually a legal status. It gave them a tax benefit. They're doing the work of all the other male pastors. He's like, ‘Well, why in the world, would we not make them pastors?' They're pastoring. And they weren't gonna go out and lead a church. They were working on his staff. He ordained three women and they kicked him out of the church. You don't get any more insider focused than that!” But, truth be told, that's not the whole story. In February 2023, the Southern Baptist Convention Executive Committee deemed Saddleback not in "friendly cooperation" with the convention. At issue is Pastor Andy Wood, who succeeded Saddleback founder Rick Warren as lead pastor, listing his wife, Stacie, as the church's teaching pastor. The Baptist Faith & Message 2000, the convention's official statement of beliefs, says that the "office of pastor is limited to men as qualified by Scripture." Although Saddleback Church had previously ordained three female pastors in May 2021, the convention cited Stacie Wood's naming as teaching pastor as the actual reason for the expulsion. In describing a pastor, Titus 1:6 says, “An elder must be blameless, faithful to his wife, a man whose children believe and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient.” Join me on the Colorado Father/Son Retreat Join me, Adam McManus, and my two sons, Honor and Valor, at the Colorado father son retreat Thursday, August 15. through Sunday, August 18.

So often, in the beginning of the new year, we have a vision of what it means to have the best year ever. But this idealization of what life could be can prevent us from stepping into what God truly has for us. This weekend, Pastor Andy Wood shares why it's important to pursue a better year instead of a perfect one and the ways we can do that.

In this special episode, Lori Adams-Brown and Corey talk a great deal about Lori and her husband Jason's experience with spiritual abuse while working at Echo Church under Pastor Andy Wood. In an astonishing turn of events, Wood was hired as Rick Warren's successor at megachurch Saddleback. (To this date, Saddleback has not reversed - one could say "repented of" - their decision to hire Andy Wood. In fact, the tactics the church leaders have deployed to dismiss the charges and even vilify those who've come forward with credible accounts of abuse is chilling.) But that's not all we discussed. We also covered Lori's remarkable background having grown up as a "missionary kid" in different parts of the world; her incredible experience over the course of many years aiding in disaster relief; how Lori is now helping others through her coaching and mentoring practice; ways we Christians can decolonize through "cultural humility"; how certain churches pressure or coerce exiting employees into signing Non-Disclosure Agreements (aka NDAs); how systems in the Evangelical Industrial Complex are designed for narcissists to come in; and so much more. Lori Adams-Brown is a combination of international speaker, business executive, podcaster, and relief and development expert. She hosts a wonderful podcast called A World of Difference, celebrating humanity's unique differences and encouraging us all to make a difference around the world.  Since growing up in international schools in Costa Rica and Venezuela, Lori has spent her career working in Indonesia, Singapore and the San Francisco Bay Area.  She worked in disaster relief in the 2004 Indonesian tsunami where she consulted with the UN coordination efforts, and she has spoken to audiences all over the U.S. and all around the world.  Lori also speaks 6 languages, and brings a rare multicultural perspective to all her work. www.loriadamsbrown.com a-world-of-difference.captivate.fm julieroys.com/former-staffers-expose-bullying-rick-warren-successor-andy-wood/ religionnews.com/2022/08/01/church-conflict-or-spiritual-abuse-saddleback-echo-wood-driscoll-reyes/

Money Habits | Week 1 | Pastor Andy Wood by

A pastor is in a unique position to influence his leaders who are in the marketplace in many different ways, and this week we turn out attention to how a pastor might support entrepreneurship within his congregation. This week, Henry, and William interview special guest, Pastor Andy Wood of Echo Church, about his journey in ministry and the world of entrepreneurship. Andy is lead pastor of Echo Church located in San Jose, California, just south of San Francisco. Early on, he was influenced by his father who was a business owner. He recalled watching his father going through the “highs” and the “lows” of running a business. He saw that back in those days there was really no place for an entrepreneur in the Church for someone like his father. That is, the pastors he knew did not know how to empower local faith centered entrepreneurs. Today, Andy's vision with his ministry is to partner with entrepreneurs because he believes that business has the ability to transform culture and entrepreneurs will have a leading role. Andy explains that he does many things to equip his entrepreneurial congregants - from simple encouragement to preaching relevant messages to holding conferences. A fascinating stat is that his most recent conference had a 50/50 split between christ-followers and non christ followers because the content was top notch. This leads into a discussion about how a church leader should start their journey by finding those business leaders within the congregation that share a similar heart. Connect with them and listen. Take them out to lunch and try to learn from them. Andy said that he noticed that business leaders and entrepreneurs are some of the most lonely people and are highly anxious. They experience high stress and tremendous pressure. They need a pastor even though they may represent themselves like they have it all together. Ultimately, Andy stressed that a pastor needs to be convinced that business/entrepreneurs are important. He reminisced that his father may have been able to utilize his gifts in a different way if he had more support from his church leaders. William correctly noted that nothing could be more entrepreneurial than planting a church, and then Pastor Andy revealed that Echo had support from 17 different churches at its beginning, and that support was a huge encouragement to him on his own journey. It is a great example of the Acts 2 church life where believers are helping other believers for God’s glory.

Pastor Andy Wood shares an incredible practical and personal Easter message that is filled with hope.
