In this episode, we sit down with René Wagner from Zeal Church, one our our partner churches in Germany, to talk about what it means to carry an unchanging Gospel into a constantly changing world.

René shares how God is sparking an extraordinary revival in one of the world’s most atheistic cities. What started as a simple prayer for 30 people has grown into a thriving church with hundreds gathering across three campuses. It’s a great reminder that while the way the Church gathers, communicates, and reaches people may shift over time, the Gospel itself never changes. It is timeless, powerful, and relevant in every nation.

ABOUT TRADERS POINT

We believe Jesus changes everything. We’ll do anything to get people to Him. There’s a lot going on in the world—and maybe you’ve felt it too: the sense that there has to be more. More purpose. More connection. More hope. We believe real change is possible—and it starts with Jesus. https://tpcc.org/

In a world full of cultural outrage, political tension, and nonstop noise, how can Christians stay sober-minded? Pastor Aaron and the guys talk about responding thoughtfully instead of reacting emotionally, the difference between disagreement and rage, and why so many people struggle to hold multiple truths at once. They highlight Jesus’s example of being sober-minded and how prayer and fasting can help reset our hearts, sharpen discernment, and guide us to respond with wisdom instead of anxiety. Rather than withdrawing or getting swept up in the chaos, Christians are called to engage with God’s peace, lift their eyes to the harvest field, and live out His mission in a broken world.

In this episode, our pastors have a conversation about intentional faith and what it looks like to commit a year of your life to following Jesus with consistency, obedience, and trust.

They talk about baptism, how to discern readiness for your kids, and what to do if you were baptized young and now understand your faith more deeply.

They also address the cultural moment we are living in. With constant unrest and emotionally charged narratives, they explore how followers of Jesus can slow down, seek truth, pray first, and stay anchored in Scripture while living as ambassadors of God’s kingdom.
