How to Identify False Prophets

Outside the Sanctuary is Immanuel Baptist Church's weekly invitation to step beyond Sunday morning and into conversations that feel real, warm, and wonderfully unscripted. The show blends humor, honest reflection, and thought‑provoking topics, all wrapped in a relaxed atmosphere that makes listeners feel like they've pulled up a chair among friends. Each episode leans into what matters most: genuine relationships with people, with community, and with Jesus. Guests join often, adding fresh stories and perspectives, and the topics range from everyday life to deeper questions of faith, always with a lightness that keeps things engaging.
After the heart of the show comes the heartbeat of the hosts. Bill Merkh brings easygoing charm and the occasional detour into The Beatles or Pearl Jam. Katrina McDonald offers a grounded, compassionate, motherly perspective that deepens every discussion. Pastor Vince McDonald might take listeners on a nostalgic trip through Maple Shade, NJ, weaving hometown memories into spiritual insights.
Dr. Marc McCleary adds a thoughtful blend of medical insight and the lived experience of a veteran, giving conversations a depth that's both practical and personal. Steve Entwistle shows up as the everyman, relatable, humble, and armed with a surprisingly deep knowledge of Scripture that sneaks up on you in the best way. Lisa Merkh brings a heart for women's ministries, offering wisdom and encouragement shaped by her passion for helping women grow in faith and community. And Pastor Greg Ginion rounds out the team with the perspective of a pastor who isn't afraid to talk honestly about ministry, calling, and the real-life challenges of shepherding people.
Together, they make Outside the Sanctuary a place where faith feels approachable, conversations feel alive, and listeners feel genuinely connected.
