NORTH.CHURCH Podcast with Pastor Rodney Fouts

Pastor Rodney teaches that following Jesus means remembering who God is, what He’s done, and the cost of the cross, so we don’t drift but stay grounded in faith. Communion reminds us we’re not alone but part of a unified family, calling us to live surrendered, love others well, and hold onto the hope that Jesus is coming again. Listen and be challenged.

Pastor Christian teaches that following Jesus isn’t about fighting for your personal rights, but willingly laying them down for the sake of others, choosing what builds people up rather than what simply benefits you. True Christian maturity shifts the question from “Am I allowed to do this?” to “Is this helpful and loving for others?”—modeling the selfless way of Jesus. Listen and be challenged.

In week 9 of "Following Jesus Is ____", Pastor Samson taught that following Jesus means boldly proclaiming the message of the cross. Through the cross, God turns our weakness into His strength, our foolishness into His wisdom, and our shame into His glory—calling believers to rely on the Holy Spirit and share the gospel so others can experience salvation.

Pastor Rodney taught that following Jesus was never meant to be a solo journey—God designed His people to live and serve in shared strength, where burdens, responsibilities, and spiritual empowerment are carried together in community. Just as God gave Moses leaders to share the weight and the Spirit to multiply the impact, believers today are called to step up for one another, knowing that Jesus ultimately shares our burdens and empowers us through His Spirit.

Preaching from Isaiah 43, Pastor Greg Ford explained that “forgetting the former things” doesn’t mean erase the past—it means don’t fixate on how God moved before and miss the new thing He’s doing now. He challenged the church to release both past failures and favorite memories, trust God for daily provision in the wilderness, and ask for spiritual eyes to perceive His redemptive work even when it looks unfamiliar.

In night three of our Revival, Dr. Manny Arango taught that mature prayer follows a pattern, not just spontaneity. Using the tabernacle as a template, he walked through a practical “pattern for prayer”: enter with gratitude and praise (the gate), focus on the cross (the altar), let God examine and cleanse you (the laver), ask for fresh Holy Spirit power (lampstand), pray God’s Word like a weapon (shewbread), then praise from victory and pray with confidence and authority (altar of incense into the throne of grace).

On day two of our Revival, Pastor Chet Pete reminded us to not forget "the good stuff”—even in hardship, we must remember God’s faithfulness, goodness, and the ways He has already provided, healed, and sustained us. Through the story of the prodigal son, he taught that as children of God we have identity, intimacy, and inheritance in the Father, and when we remember who we are and recall His goodness, it gives us strength, restores our perspective, and draws us back into His presence.

Pastor Jabin Chavez opened up night one of Revival preaching on the prayer of Jabez, calling the church to “Reverse the Curse” by becoming people of consistent prayer. Prayer is what sets you apart, breaks limitations, and invites God’s blessing and favor over your life. He emphasized that through prayer, God not only blesses you, but also frees you from labels, past pain, and generational cycles so you can walk in your true identity and pass down faith, freedom, and blessing to the next generation.

Pastor Rodney taught that following Jesus means walking in sexual purity—honoring God’s design for sex as a sacred gift for covenant marriage and recognizing that even hidden sexual sin has real consequences for the soul, relationships, and life. He urged us to guard our hearts, resist temptation with wisdom, and trust Jesus, who offers forgiveness, power to obey, and hope for true transformation. Listen and be challenged.

Pastor Christian taught from Romans that the gospel brings unity by leveling everyone—Jew and Gentile alike—reminding us that all have sinned, all need grace, and no one stands above another in God’s family. Following Jesus means loving like He loved—choosing forgiveness, humility, and community—because the gospel produces real love and unity, making us one family in Christ. Listen and be challenged.
