After spending the first three chapters of Romans uncovering the bad news—that every one of us stands guilty before a holy God—Paul finally turns the corner to share the Good News: we can be made right with God through faith in Jesus Christ. In this message, Pastor Rich unpacks what it means to be justified by faith, explores powerful words like justification and propitiation, and reminds us that salvation isn't earned by our performance, but received through belief. When we understand that, pride falls away, unity is restored, and faith takes center stage.Whether you're churched, unchurched, religious, or brand new to faith, this passage reminds us that the ground is level at the foot of the cross—and Jesus alone gets the glory.
In “FAITH ACTIONS,” Pastor Rich unpacks Hebrews 6:1–5, where the writer urges believers to move beyond elementary teachings and press on toward maturity. Foundational truths repentance, faith, baptisms, laying on of hands, resurrection, and eternal judgment are not abandoned but built upon. Pastor Rich emphasizes that true faith must grow into action, producing a life that reflects the power of God's Spirit and the hope of eternity.We hope this message challenges you to step forward in maturity, letting faith move from belief to action as you walk with Christ.

This message marks the beginning of a 5-month journey through the Gospel of Mark. Mark wastes no time confronting us with the reality of Jesus—the Messiah who calls us to follow Him with our whole lives. We launch the series with two pressing questions: What makes Jesus distinct? and What does it mean to prepare the way for Him? These are not just questions to ponder, but a call to live differently in light of the Gospel. Scripture Referenced: Mark 1:8

Pastor Rich stresses that growth in Christ isn't automatic—it comes through steady obedience, deeper understanding, and exercising our faith daily.We hope this message stirs you to move beyond the basics and pursue maturity, fully equipped to walk in God's wisdom and strength.

In this powerful episode of 1819 News: The Podcast, host Bryan Dawson, CEO of 1819 News, sits down with Pastor Rich Lusk of Trinity Presbyterian Church in Birmingham, Ala., to honor the life and martyrdom of Charlie Kirk, the bold Christian leader and Turning Point USA founder tragically assassinated for his unapologetic defense of the gospel, Christian civilization, marriage, life, and biblical masculinity/femininity. The conversation kicks off with heartfelt tributes to Kirk's integrated faith—seamlessly weaving evangelism with cultural and political engagement on hostile university campuses, the epicenter of leftist indoctrination. Kirk's mantra, "Prove me wrong," invited debate as a peaceful alternative to violence, but ultimately, his faithfulness made him a target. As Lusk reflects, Kirk exemplified the full Great Commission: not just baptizing souls, but teaching nations to obey all of Christ's commands, building a God-glorifying civilization under Jesus' lordship over every sphere of life—from marriage to politics. Dawson and Lusk unpack the crisis of cowardice plaguing our culture, drawing from Scripture and history. They contrast biblical courage—rooted in fearing God above man—with modern failings: the emasculation of men, turning them into "beta males" ashamed of God-given aggression needed to guard the garden (Genesis 3); an idolatrous "safetyism" exposed during COVID that sacrifices liberty for security; and a therapeutic church culture that glorifies brokenness over repentance and strength. They critique how this infiltrates pulpits, counseling, and criminal justice—excusing sin as "trauma" and releasing criminals without retribution. The litmus test? If your pastor hasn't declared war on progressivism, feminism, transgenderism, and Marxism, it's time for a new church. Amid a "vibe shift," they celebrate rising Christian influence: leftists now face consequences for mocking Kirk's death, signaling power wielded for good, not neutrality. Lusk praises Dawson's gift for applying Scripture to all of life, urging listeners to reclaim courage for a free, flourishing Alabama. In the overtime, the two discuss the biblical case for capital punishment and wielding the sword. Tune in for an exhortation to strength, repentance, and bold faithfulness.
