At Church on the Rock, we're not here to play church. We're here to experience the life-giving, eternity-shifting power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In this message, Pastor Josh unpacks why the Gospel isn't just good advice—it's good news. Because at its core, the message of Jesus isn't about behavior—it's about life or death. If you've ever felt like church is only for people who “have it all together,” this episode is for you. Rooted in Romans 6:23, John 10:10, and John 3, we look at why the Gospel isn't about moral performance but about transformation. You'll discover what Jesus really meant when He promised life and life abundantly, how your identity in Christ comes before your activity, and why so many people say “no” to the greatest exchange in history—and how not to. The truth is simple: Jesus doesn't need you to clean up first. He came to bring you back to life. Did you make a decision to follow Christ today?

Pastor Josh delivers a powerful and heartfelt word on what it truly means to behold Jesus — not from a distance, but through deep, personal encounter.
In this honest and heartfelt conversation, Pastor Josh hosts his wife Lauren and staff member Cynthia to discuss a topic that often sparks debate in the church: women in ministry. Drawing from their own church backgrounds, personal experiences, and deep respect for scripture, they explore the biblical roles of women in leadership, the importance of God's order, and how Church on the Rock navigates the tension between empowerment and alignment with the Word. With vulnerability and conviction, they unpack scriptures, historical context, and real-life examples—affirming that while women at COTR teach, lead, and communicate the gospel, the office of pastor is reserved for men. This is part one of a two-part conversation intended to both clarify their church's stance and encourage the wider body of Christ.

Pamela shares heartfelt insight into honoring imperfect leadership, while Pastor Josh draws from both Scripture and personal experience to offer a healing perspective. This dialogue doesn't shy away from hard truths but is anchored in grace, wisdom, and hope for reconciliation.

Exile isn't always a place, it's a condition of the soul. Pastor Josh begin this journey of ascent by exploring the restleness that awakens when we realize we no longer belong where we are. The way of Jesus isn't about conveinece it's about courage to return. As we reflect, we're invited to examine whether we're drifting or truly walking with God. Discipleship begins not with arrival but with the ache to come home.
Warning: This episode contains mature themes and is not suitable for young ears.In today's powerful & raw episode, we're joined by Josh Broome, a man whose life journey is nothing short of miraculous. From a childhood marked by fatherlessness and a desperate search for identity, to the dark spiral of the porn industry, to a radical transformation through the grace of Jesus Christ—Josh's story will leave you speechless, inspired, & filled with hope.Josh was born to a teenage mother and grew up without a consistent father figure, always feeling like he needed to prove his worth. After moving to LA to pursue acting, he was pulled into the porn industry after a single video destroyed his mainstream career. Over time, he starred in over 1,000 adult films, made over $1 million, and even won an award for Performer of the Year. Yet despite his “success,” he battled crippling depression, identity loss, and suicidal thoughts.In 2013, at his lowest moment, a simple conversation altered the course of his life. Josh walked away from porn, returned home, became a Christian, and slowly began rebuilding. In 2022, he graduated from Liberty University, and today he is the Executive Director of Walkworthy with the AACC, a husband of 9 years, a father of 4 boys, and a leading voice against pornography and for men's identity in Christ.In this episode, we don't dive deep into the explicit details of the porn industry—we focus on something far more important: what led him there and how grace brought him out. We explore the loss and recovery of identity, the restoration process through Jesus, and the truth about how pornography damages both those in it and those who consume it.

In this Sunday's message, "Freedom Through Forgiveness", Pastor Josh shared how the power to forgive flows from the staggering truth that Jesus paid the ultimate price to cancel our debt.

The revelation of what Jesus has done for us softens our hearts and leads us into the kind of forgiveness that brings true freedom. Who might Jesus be inviting you to release today?

Gospel Daily with Josh Weidmann Abimelech: Belligerent or Peaceful? Part 2 Series: Judges Scripture: Judges 8:33-35; 9 Episode: 1250 Scripture Overview: In Judges 8:33–35 and Chapter 9, Israel quickly turns away from God after Gideon's death, returning to idol worshipand forgetting the Lord who delivered them. They also fail to show loyalty to Gideon's family, despite his leadership. In Chapter 9, Abimelek, Gideon's son, seizes power by killing his seventy brothers and declaring himself king with the support of the people of Shechem. His reign is marked by deception, betrayal, and violence, ultimately leading to his downfall. God's justice prevails when Abimelek is killed in battle, fulfilling judgment for his evil deeds. Key themes include apostasy after leadership, corrupt ambition, and divine justice. Sermon Summary: This sermon explores the tragic story of Abimelech in Judges 9 as a mirror for our own hearts, exposing the destructive path of ungodliness and the relentless pursuit of control. Pastor Josh shows how Abimelech's hunger for power, disregard for godliness, and violence led to his downfall—and how similar patterns often live quietly within us. Whether through anger, control, resentment, or spiritual drift, we risk losing peace and intimacy with God when we stop valuing His presence. Yet the sermon offers hope: where wickedness once reigned, Christ offers righteousness, peace, and restoration. The call is clear—kill the little Abimelech in you. Surrender control, return to godliness, and trust Jesus to do what power never can: bring true peace to your heart and soul.
Genesis 5 shows a pattern: born, live, die. But Enoch's life broke the cycle.

What if you could explain the most life-changing message in just a few clear, powerful words? This video unpacks the Great Exchange—where Jesus traded His righteousness for our sinfulness—offering forgiveness, freedom, and new life to anyone who believes. Rooted in Romans 1:16, we stand unashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for salvation to all who believe. Yet many Christians still feel hesitant to share this hope. Why? And how can we change that? We'll explore how to overcome fear with humility and clarity, and how to confidently share your faith—without being pushy or awkward. Whether you're a new believer or a seasoned follower of Christ, this is for you. Did you make a decision to follow Christ today?

What do you do when offense finds its way into your heart? In his message, "Freedom from Offense", Pastor Josh challenged us to reflect on how we respond in those moments. Left unchecked, offense can lead to bitterness and deception, distorting our relationships and our perspective. We were reminded that it's our responsibility to guard our hearts, stay tender toward one another, and choose to see both people and God through the lens of truth. Real freedom comes when we fix our eyes on Jesus and the cross—our unchanging standard in a world of shifting emotions and opinions. Recorded at Hope Church in Springfield, MO.
