"God cares more about your pursuit than He does your performance." In this episode, we sat down with Caleb Herring, a man who was called by God at just 15 years old but had a long journey ahead of him. Behind every minister of the Gospel, there's a man who toiled with spiritual identity, trials, and tribulations. But at the end of the day we all have a choice: will you stay comfortable in the…
This past weekend we had the privilege of being at Wisconsin District's MidWinter Conference and got to sit down with the legendary and inspirational man of God, Pastor Joel Urshan.

Yes, the title is exactly what it sounds like. In this episode we sat down with a bold minister of the Gospel and dear friend the RP family, Mark Traino. Having a broken past that became completely restored by Jesus, we talk about his encounter with the Lord, what changed his life, and ultimately how his heart's desire is to reach the lost, impoverished, and broken people in the world.
If a Martyr came into your church service tomorrow, would he rejoice and say "This is what I died for" or would he fall to his knees, cry out, and say, "Oh Zion, what have you become?" The convicting words the Lord spoke to Ethan. Today's podcast is about the transformative love of God and the absolute necessity to live in desperation. Oftentimes, it is in our most desperate seasons that the Lord…
The Book Launch is here! Our host, Michael Otano, has written 24 training devotionals that God directed him to publish. In today's episode we sat down with one of his editors, Hannah Wallace, as they explore the editing process, the divine purpose that led to these publications, and read an excerpt together from Volume 2: The Apostolic Training Devotional. Currently, books are available for…
"God isn't impressed by your volume, but He is impressed by your fervency." -Philip JordanWe had the honor of hosting Bishop Philip Jordan, the General Superintendent of Indiana for the UPCI. Yesterday, he preached a message of hope to our congregation at our home church Christian Revival Center. Afterwards, he came to the studio to share a message of conviction: the power, or rather importance,…
Have you ever wondered what it would be like living in the time of the Book of Acts? Bishop Dr. Desta tells us stories of the multiple times he went to prison for preaching the Gospel. However in the midst of his cell, he still managed to find the joy of the Lord and the strength to share his testimony to all. We pray this encourages you!
On our one year anniversary of RP (August 5th) we had our very first guest, Dillon Jordan. Jordan is a part of the family here at RP and also at our home campus, Christian Revival Center. Our first episode with him was titled "The Making of a Minister," so we thought it fitting to film one a year titled "How to be Used by God." We pray that this episode encourages, blesses, and strengthens you.
