Circuit Riders Podcast

JT Thomas, founder of Civil Righteousness, shares part of his story and brings us into the storyline of what God is doing in the African American community. We learn more about racial injustice, pathologies of oppression and God's redemptive nature. He emphasizes that God is present in times of trouble and the importance of Biblical unity.

JT Thomas, founder of Civil Righteousness, guest speaks and brings a timely message about righteousness and justice. He preaches out of Psalm 2 and emphasizes both the kindness and severity of God. JT calls us to be peacemakers, apostolic messengers and harvesters to our generation.

Derek and Michael continue the series on Circuit Rider History. They elaborate on the defining moments that changed the course of Francis Asbury and John Wesley's lives. We learn about Wesley's transformation from being someone stuck in religion trying to earn righteousness, into someone preaching life back into dead religion. Derek challenges us to examine ourselves because it's possible to be in ministry but not be born again.

Joel Bomberger inspires us to be youth reaching youth. He speaks on 2 Timothy 4 and the charge that Paul gave to Timothy to preach the Gospel in season and out of season. We are challenged to apply that same charge to our lives by pointing our friends to God instead of myths, not disqualifying ourselves because we are young and by being an example to our generation in everything we do.

We believe that the only way to see true revival and reformation is to commit ourselves wholeheartedly to the word of God. As a community we are diving deep into the Bible to fight for fresh revelation and true transformation in us and through us! As we work our way through the Bible, we seek to impart a deep love for the word and world changing principals. This podcast features Brian Brennt focusing on the book of Ephesians.

Taylor continues his teaching on Biblical Worldview. He emphasizes that as Christians, we don't get to pick and choose what we want to obey. Taylor highlights the importance of knowing the truth and growing in intimacy with God, even when out flesh doesn't want to.

Taylors Stutts teaches on what it means to have a Biblical Worldview. He tells his testimony of realizing the importance of having a Biblical foundation and explains the power of being hungry for the Word of God. We learn the importance of allowing God's Word to change our lives.

Inspired by the book The Authority of the Bible by theologian John Stott, Nick preaches on truth. He makes the point that in our culture there is so much competition for our attention and so many options for what to believe. We are confronted with the importance of knowing how to decipher truth so that we don't end up basing our lives on the wrong thing. We are compelled to evaluate who we are giving authority to in our lives and who we are letting lead us to truth.

Derek and Michael continue the conversation on Circuit Rider history, with a focus on camp meetings. They give context for what camp meetings are and the cultural/political climate they were birthed out of. We are inspired by the hunger for God that would cause people to travel from hundreds of miles away and stay at these gatherings for days. Michael emphasizes that it's less about imitating the logistics of camp meetings but rather desiring the DNA of these revival gatherings.

Brian, Zach and Michaela share on the importance leaders who empower other leaders. They emphasize that this next season will require a multiplication of people leading from their heart rather than from structure or religion. They use the example of Jesus as an empowering leader, who prepared his disciples by always telling them he would eventually leave and that it was better that way because they would get the Holy Spirit. This podcast is from Brian's weekly Culture Shift zoom calls.
