Two Pastor Dustins in Blanchard: Welcoming Landmark Church’s New Campus Pastor

On the Out of the Box Church podcast, Pastor Dustin welcomes another Pastor Dustin (Dustin Blansett), newly arrived in Blanchard, Oklahoma, and introduces him and Landmark Church Blanchard to the community.

After years serving in youth ministry and later stepping into pastoring a small Arkansas church, he was invited by Pastor Justin Blankenship to become campus pastor for Landmark’s new Blanchard location, which launched four weeks ago and meets Sundays at 10:45 a.m. at the Blanchard Intermediate School cafeteria with kids church in the gym. They discuss teamwork among local churches, Blanchard’s rapid growth, reaching the unchurched, and upcoming events including a Wednesday block party and Easter.

Eternal Judgment Explained: Judgment Seat of Christ vs. Great White Throne

Pastor Dustin continues a series on the six foundational doctrines of Christ from Hebrews 6:1–2, focusing on the final topic, eternal judgment. He teaches that Scripture describes two distinct judgments: the Judgment Seat of Christ for believers (2 Corinthians 5:10), which concerns rewards and accountability for works and motives rather than salvation (John 5:24; Romans 8:1; 1 Corinthians 3:12–15; 1 Corinthians 4:5), and the Great White Throne Judgment for those who rejected Christ (Revelation 20:11–15), where names not found in the Book of Life face the lake of fire. He emphasizes varying degrees of reward and punishment based on faithfulness, knowledge, and responsibility (Luke 12:47–48; Matthew 11:22–24; James 3:1), encourages Spirit-led living, and calls listeners to respond to God’s Word for transformation.

Pastor Dustin introduces a Bible-study episode on “Resurrection Life” from the church series on the six foundational doctrines in Hebrews 6, focusing on how resurrection power affects believers now. Using Philippians 3, Romans 6, Ephesians 2, Colossians 3, 2 Corinthians 4, Hebrews 11, 1 Corinthians 15, and 2 Timothy 1, he teaches that the same Spirit who raised Christ dwells in believers, enabling newness of life, victory over sin and fear of death, endurance in suffering, and holy living by grace. He emphasizes a direct correlation between dying to self and experiencing God’s grace and fruit, mentions his book “Your Dead Life Now,” and urges listeners to fully identify with Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection, live for eternal rewards, and build only what God calls them to build.

Pastor Dustin shares an update from Children’s Hospital with his son Aiden, who has been hospitalized 11 days with abscesses, ulcers, and a dangerous infection throughout his GI tract, thanking people for prayer and noting Aiden is doing well with more days to go. He emphasizes valuing medical treatment while also taking a “spiritual prescription” from God’s Word, highlighting Proverbs 4:20–22 that describes Scripture as life and “medicine” to the flesh. Dustin explains attention, hearing, focus, and meditation on the Word, then leads Aiden in reading a written confession declaring healing, restoration, and freedom from inflammation and recurring infection, citing passages like Psalms 103 and 118, Romans 8, Mark 11:23, Romans 10:9, and 2 Corinthians 4:13. He teaches confession as agreement with covenant truth, not denial, and encourages viewers to seek wisdom, prayer, and support while keeping God’s Word in their mouth.
