Discipleship in the Laodicean Age: A Conversation with TS Wright (Ep. 254)

In this wide-ranging, spirited conversation, I welcome ordained minister and Kingdom Crossroads host TS Wright for a deep dive into discipleship, church history, and living out authentic biblical faith today. We swap testimonies, talk through the joy and grit of ministry, and explore practical rhythms for a God-centered life—from personal time in the Word and prayer, to real accountability, corporate worship, and intentional rest.  TS shares insights from decades in ministry, his Campus Crusade formation, powerful moments of healing, and his upcoming discipleship book series. We also dig into Philippians’ portrait of mature believers, the Laodicean church and its relevance to our age, and how believers can stay faithful without getting trapped by cultural drift or petty doctrinal squabbles. Come for the encouragement, stay for the challenge to shine your light with zeal and grace.We close with resources to connect with TS, learn about his podcast and books, and prepare for a forthcoming Revelation study—plus a reminder that the Lord never leaves His people without a path back to Him: repent, reconnect, and carry the message.Guest: TS Wrighthttps://godcenteredconcept.com/  Watch LIVE tonight at 7PM CT Rumble.com/JoeRooz YouTube.com/@JoeRooz FOLLOW US ON:X: https://x.com/joeroozFacebook: https://facebook.com/joeroozshowTwitch TV: https://twitch.tv/joeroozInstagram: https://instagram.com/notjoeroozTikTok: https://tiktok.com/joe.roozMinds: https://minds.com/joeroozGETTR: https://gettr.com/joeroozSpecial thanks to:Executive Producer Wayne RankinExecutive Producer Rosanna RankinExecutive Producer Carolina JimenezExecutive Producer Angela WetuskiExecutive Producer John SeeleyWant to be a guest on The Joe Rooz Show?Send Joe a message on #PodMatch: https://www.podmatch.com/member/joeCheck out our partners:Podhome.fmCreative EdgeMusic: https://youtube.com/@pogo️ New to streaming or looking to level up?
