    Are we in the midst of revival?!
    2026/02/17
    Is it revival or reaction? Talk of a spiritual "awakening" has moved from the pew to the center of the American cultural and political stage. But as the language of faith becomes a currency, we have to ask: Is this a move of God, or a collective outcry against a failing system? This episode explores the space between emotional highs and lasting spiritual change. By examining the biblical and historical markers of renewal—repentance, humility, and justice—we discuss what’s required to sustain a movement once the spotlights fade. ---------- VISIT US IN PERSON Roosevelt Community Church 924 N 1st St, Phoenix, AZ 85004 Sunday Service: 10:00 AM rooseveltchurch.org CONNECT WITH US: 📧 Newsletter: Text "newsletter" to 855-834-2593 📝 Want to connect with us?

  • What would Jesus do about ICE?

    What would Jesus do about ICE?
    2026/02/03
    When immigration & customs enforcement (ICE) is marked by fear, violence, and dehumanization, how should Christians respond? As ICE raids continue to dominate the headlines and widen division, in this episode we try to take a step back to ask what faithfulness to God looks like in this moment. There's definitely tension between respecting the law, loving the foreigner and immigrant, and speaking truth to power; also refusing false dichotomies offered by political extremes to consider what justice, compassion, and love in action actually require. If you want more context about what's happening, included is further reading to get your started. Biblical precedent for how God sees foreigners and Immigrants: Leviticus 19:33-34 Leviticus 23:22 ---------- VISIT US IN PERSON Roosevelt Community Church 924 N 1st St, Phoenix, AZ 85004 Sunday Service: 10:00 AM rooseveltchurch.org CONNECT WITH US: 📧 Newsletter: Text "newsletter" to 855-834-2593 📝 Want to connect with us?

  • Is church still worth inviting people to?

    Is church still worth inviting people to?
    2026/01/20
    If you're not familiar with the comedian, Druski, he just dropped a skit called "Mega Church Pastors LOVE Money" that kinda broke the Christian internet and the verdict is split. Some calling it disrespectful, others saying he didn't tell a single lie, others think it's hilarious. Lecrae responded on Instagram saying his first reaction wasn't offense, but recognition: "There's wolves in the pulpits, there's theatrics for attention and money and influence, and leaders manipulating God's name for gain." That's exactly what we've been talking about. This is our second installment of what might become a series around the "Industry of Church" as we try and speak to what happens when our gathering together becomes more about production, money, and influence than about Jesus. Have we turned the house of God into a den of thieves? If you're being invited to church, is it actually one being built up as a true form of the body Jesus created us to be? From scandals like that happening around Robert Morris/Gateway Church to the legal drama between major worship music artists and their former groups, have we let things get out of hand when money is brought to the center of our gathering instead of those at the margins? The major question we have to answer is this: Are we inviting people to Jesus, full stop? Or are we using his name to fill our business funnels.

  • What it means to be a refugee (The Story of Bikanze Moise).

    What it means to be a refugee (The Story of Bikanze Moise).
    2026/01/17
    If you're interested in reading Bikonzi's biography, you can pick it up here. https://a.co/d/09X2Mze You can't make this stuff up. The stories that Bikonzi can tell with vivid detail demonstrate not only the need for Christians to raise their compassion for the foreigner and immigrant; it also highlights the unrelenting faithfulness of God to those whom he foreknew and predestined to be conformed into the image of His Son. One of the best way to understand the experience of another and therefore have compassion for another is by hearing their story directly. Increasingly, the nature of our politics has driven us towards a kind of apathy that desensitizes our soul to the pain and hardship so many people carry. That applies to those in our country, yes; but for those who seek refuge from some of the hardest realities in foreign countries, it's an entirely different level. Bikonzi Moise knows this first hand from his own experience as a refugee who survived a genocide in the Democratic Republic of Congo (well known as the DRC).

  • What you didn't know about worship music culture.

    What you didn't know about worship music culture.
    2025/11/11
    Increasingly a small number of churches, leaders, platforms (and even algorithms) are shaping much of the content, language, expression, and theology of the modern church. An academic study on worship songs from 2010-2020 found that almost all of the top songs were linked to these churches, either through direct production or collaborations, with 37 out of 38 popular songs having a connection. This might explain why so much of worship music feels so similar. In this episode, we explore what that means for our theology around music and worship, the impact of this influence, and how the Church can broaden the scope of our inspiration for Sunday mornings.

    Can AI be a multiplier for good?
    2025/10/28
    In this episode, we explore AI not as a replacement for human connection, but as a powerful multiplier for reach and impact. We'll discuss how AI can tackle our biggest challenges in education, healthcare, and beyond, while also asking a fundamental question: What does it mean to be human in the age of AI, and can it help us be more human, not less?
