The Resistance Radio Show
by Reformation Radio Network
Welcome to the Resistance! We are looking for God's design for His church. Some call this reformation. Some call it holy discontent. Man's systems and traditions have distorted the church. We are convinced God is calling His people out of that and into His Kingdom. The hosts are all missionaries to America involved in a ministry work in St. Louis, MO. Join us as we explore this with scripture, music, and satire.These recordings were originally a 2 hour talk radio show. Each show will become 2-3 podcasts.For more info, visit www.discipledrivenchurch.org. By the way, it's not a church. Seriously.

Church Function, pt 2
Our goal with the show is not to offend or make light of God. Instead, we want to point to the truth of Scripture, and hope that the truth can provoke people to examine their ways, and respond how they see fit. When we fail to reach truth, then we are settling for something else. Church…

Church Function, pt 1
We'll be looking at a biblical view of church function by starting with examining the false gospels at large in America today. But before that, let's look at some idea's for structures and functions of the local church: the gospel – what gospel is preached? How is it lived? Membership – what are...
-
Purpose and Function pt 4
We will continue our discussion of function and purpose by looking at some analogies of the Church and Christ that we find in Scripture. These pictures display the relationship between Christ and the Church. Colossians 1:18 – Christ is the head, the church is the body Ephesians 2:20-21 – Christ…
more -
Purpose and Function, pt 3
Critically examine your faith and church experience. Are the things you agree to in scripture evident in your life? Are you experiencing your theology, or are you disconnected from it? Jesus Christ is building His church and it is not the result of human effort the only true foundation of the...
-
Purpose and Function, pt 2
Matthew 16:15-18 Who do you say that I am? The church is not built by human effort. God builds His church, and He does it His way. He uses pictures to reveal the church to men. These pictures reveal something about God – this shows that He is our God and we are His people; that His church…

Purpose and Function, pt 1
There are numerous statistics that express a decline in the state of the church in America. This includes things like attendance, doctrinal literacy, giving, etc. A Barna report says the number of “post-Christian” individuals has increased to 44% (as of 2015; most current/relevant article can be...
-
Creative Expression, pt 4
Acts 2:14 Peter asks crowd to give heed to his “rhema” Acts 5:20 go speak to the people the whole “rhema” of this life. In other words, declare what I've revealed to you. You can't speak “rhema” without the Holy Spirit accompanying you. If the truest form of expression comes when the Holy Spirit...
-
Creative Expression, pt 3
Creative expression includes most things people think of when they think about art. We are going to start by reviewing some of the big picture ideas we got to in parts 1 and 2 of this discussion. First obvious signs of creative expression after the fall Jubal the first musician, Tubal-Cain…

Creative Expression, pt 2
We continue to explore godly creative expression, focusing on how it must be done in the Spirit. Purposes of music in scripture (continued from part 1) Prophesying Teaching/admonishing Giving things Edification Community context Declaring God's glory – Isaiah 12:5 Praise – Psalms, Exodus 15 (The...
-
Creative Expression, pt 1
What is creative expression? How does God express creatively? How do humans express creatively? How has all this been distorted? We look at some big pictures to explore what it means to be created in the image of the Creator. “What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen…
more -
Pain and Pretending, pt 8
We will continue to explore transactional relationships and how they deeply affect our understanding of the world around us, from everyday interactions to how we structure our churches. Jesus defined love as a denial of your self – it is not a contract with others. Transactional relationships…
more -
Pain and Pretending, pt 7
Let's start over with the idea that humanity was designed by the Creator. We were meant to live a certain way. When God created everything, He called it good. Mankind quickly decided that we wanted to live our own way instead of God's way. Jesus came to bring the Kingdom of God here to earth, to...
-
Pain and Pretending, pt 6
The confusion between love and approval can begin at an early age, through discipline, or through a lack of genuine displays of affection. People generally feel more loved when we’re being praised. It takes intentionality to show that we love when we disapprove, and to not withdraw signs of love...
-
Pain and Pretending, pt 5
As we continue to explore pain and its effects, we will talk about vows – how pain changes our belief systems and causes us to make decisions that can last a lifetime. The most destructive pain isn’t any specific kind of act or occurrence, but rather whatever affects your sense of worth. Many...
-
Pain and Pretending, pt 4
God designed the church to help restore damaged individuals through love and the working of spiritual gifts. Man has sanitized this messy process and removed the effectiveness of the church to function in this way. Love should be the church's response. Sometimes love is gentle and long-suffering,...
-
Pain and Pretending, pt 3
Most people we encounter are carrying around the weight of unresolved pain from their past. Some people are aware, and some are not. Some pain is caused by cataclysmic events, and some is the result of subtle conditioning over long periods of time. However, most “victims” display similar patterns...

Interview with Zach Winters and Jason Barrows
We interview musical artists Zach Winters and Jason Barrows, the afternoon before their show at Sun Cafe. On The Resistance Radio Show, we feature music by artists we feel are expressing some form of God’s design, or who are using their artistic expression in meaningful and authentic ways. Zach…
more -
Pain and Pretending, pt 2
Most Christians would agree to the idea of following God’s design. But once you point out specifics, especially of church practice, people get defensive. This is because our church experience is tied to so many things: family, history, culture, tradition, activity, morality, community, authority,...
-
Pain and Pretending, pt 1
This week we will be discussing pain and how it binds people. But first, we will discuss how the church must operate by God’s design. Because while the church is perfectly equipped to address pain and overcome strongholds of the enemy, it can only do that if it functions by God’s design. Many...
-
Halloween Special, pt 2
We conclude our discussion of Halloween through the lens of being separate from the world. Is it valid to say that present-day Halloween is just a commercial event with no connection to its pagan roots? Is this a valid idea within the Kingdom of God? Why do we even care? What’s the deal? So what?...
-
Halloween Special, pt 1
We discuss the history and implications of the pagan holiday of Halloween, and what it means to be separate from the world. When you think of Halloween, are you legalistic, defensive, indifferent, unconcerned, infatuated? Why do Christians participate in a pagan holiday, and why this one and not...
-
Inner City Ministry, pt 2
As ideas of the church and gospel have been culturally affected, so have ideas of wealth, poverty, comfort, justice, etc. All of these are culturally relative. Nothing compares to an on the ground perspective There are no easy answers. America has a long history of a mentality of “disposable...

Sun Ministries Volunteers Interview
From time to time, Sun Ministries hosts work groups. In 2016, we had an especially interactive student group from Wheaton College. Jason interviewed three of the most engaged students to get their thoughts on their time with us. We spoke about what they learned, what they struggled with, and...
-
Inner City Ministry, pt 1
We tackle the tricky concept of "relevance". But first, some fake news. Relevance has long been an influential idea in the Church and ministry. Are you relevant? Does that matter? Apparently, everything must be relevant. There are many ideas and activities churches and ministries try. But what…

The World, pt 2
Terry wrote a book, and you can get it for FREE! www.discipledrivenchurch.org/Printed Materials/BeingtheChurch.pdf Review the elementary principles of the world - Colossians 2:20 Romans 12:2; Romans 8:29 Don’t be conformed to the world, but to Jesus. Don’t do Colossians 2:20, making a new...
-
The World, pt 1
What is the World? What does it mean to be separate from it? 1 John 5:19 The whole world lies in the power of the evil one. One day this will change. This verse makes it very clear that there are two different kingdoms. What are the clear teachings from scripture about the world? 1 Corinthains…
more -
No Hippos!, pt 2
Continuing on with the 8 woes (Matthew 23) Woe 4 – False and deceptive oaths. Every oath is binding, even if we excuse ourselves. Why blind guides instead of “scribes and pharisees, hypocrites”? Perhaps because they’re not “acting”, they are trying to work through self-made loopholes, and their...
-
No Hippos!, pt 1
If you think you have to be sinless to know Jesus, you don’t know Jesus. A hypocrite is an actor or pretender. Is hypocrisy an obstacle to the Kingdom of God? Mark 7:6 These hypocrites taught the precepts of men as doctrine. The example He gives is a bad practice of stewardship. Bad stewardship...
-
Spiritual Warfare, pt 2
When God set the captives free from Egypt, He didn’t send Moses to the people and tell them they need to be free or more obedient, or accept the Gospel. We was sent to Pharaoh and told him to let the people go. The oppressed don’t need to be attacked, but lifted up. Sometimes you have to take…

Spiritual Warfare, pt 1
Terry and Mark G. came back from Chicago Coffeefest and share their experiences. How would you assess a neighborhood’s spiritual need or condition? Do you look at its prevalence of poverty, payday loans, and liquor stores? Do you see nice houses and an abundance of business and think it’s fine?...
-
Sun Ministries, pt 5
Pastoring the community is a big idea. Very basically, it’s looking at your community as your mission field, and not for the purpose of attracting them to your worship gathering. Pastoring the community fights the small, self-focused gospel. A kingdom is way bigger than one person. This model...

Sun Ministries, pt 4
Isaiah 61:1-3 This is the work of Christ Those verses address our engagement with God. The following is what happens after that transformation. The Leadership Center recruits and trains missionaries to minister in urban settings. This usually involves being undone and redone, and coming face to...

Sun Ministries, pt 3
Isaiah 61 – rebuilding ancient ruins These devastations are in existence partly because of American public policy to concentrate poverty, largely poor black people. If God built a new humanity which overcame divisions, should we not be continuing in that work? Mark Sanford and Jason watched…

Sun Ministries, pt 1
We share how we live out the Gospel, through the story of Sun Ministries. Two Gospels at play in the world: The personal Savior gospel and the Gospel of the Kingdom. One resembles the Gospel of Repentance preached by John, focusing on our sin and forgiveness, but also focuses on intellect. The...

Two Gospels
We see two gospels reflected in Scripture and present in the world today: 1)The Personal Savior gospel that focuses on repentance from sin; 2)The Gospel of the Kingdom The number churchless Americans has increased 1/3 in 20 years. The end goal of Christianity is not correct theology James 2:20,...
-
Attitude and Lifestyle, pt 2
What is God doing at this point in time? Give up your privilege and do what God is doing. Who do you want leading the charge in undoing injustice and defeating racism? Shouldn’t it be the people of God? God gave up everything to serve you in the man Jesus. We should follow that example. God is...
-
Attitude and Lifestyle, pt 1
It’s all about how you live! We discuss our core value of having a sacrificial attitude toward money and living a moderate lifestyle. What do you devote to money? What does the Bible instruct concerning money? Stewards – of God’s mysteries (1 corinthians 4:1) and Grace (Ephesians 3:2; 1 Peter…
more -
Money!, pt 3
To understand the tithe, let’s look at offerings First offering was Cain and Abel’s. Cain’s was rejected, because it came from the cursed ground. Offer what God commands. Tithe was first demonstrated by Abraham, prior to the law. Does this mean we need to circumcise and make animal sacrifices?…
more -
Money!, pt 2
Why is the church so concerned with money, and what is mammon? Is it money, an idol, a false god, something else? If money has so many negative effects, why is the church so obsessed with it? When Jesus talked about money, He usually wasn’t talking about money. You can only serve 1 master. The...
-
Money!, pt 1
We do a rather quick and broad flyover of the development of money, its causes and effects, and examine economic systems and what they mean for the follower of Christ. All this is to establish context for the next two episodes, where we discuss mammon and the damage of the pursuit of money. Money...

Godly Leadership, pt 2
Leading = Serving Matthew 18:1-4 Luke 22:24-27 – Who’s the greatest!?!? John 13:13-15 Philippians 1:3-8 Jesus emptied Himself to help the poor – The church should follow that example. Am I willing to walk as Jesus did, as a sacrifice for rebellious, apathetic people? Confidence = selflessness We...
-
Godly Leadership, pt 1
What does the Bible say about leadership and authority? What does it look like, and what is its role in the church? The problem with pastors – Romans 12:1-8 The chair of Moses – Matthew 3 Delegated vs Appropriated authority Leadership as a spiritual gift Gideon, David, Moses, Peter – all had...
-
God's Church, pt 3
In the book of Acts, how was the Church described? What did it do? Acts 8:1, 3 – It is persecuted Acts 9:31 – At times, it enjoys peace. It is being built up, believers are going on in the fear of the Lord and the comfort of the Holy Spirit Acts 11:26 – The church is taught by apostles Acts 12:1…

God's Church, pt 2
Fat Shepherds – Ezekiel 34 This passage is a prophetic message against the shepherds of Israel. It uses a lot of imagery concerning sheep and what they do, and is being applied to the leaders of Israel. As a prophetic message, we believe it continues to applicable to His people. So look at the...

God's Church, pt 1
Part 1 of our discussion of church definitions: man’s vs. God’s. What is the American church doing? We relay some statistics that point toward serious problems. What has man added into the institutional church? Are these activities biblical? Necessary? Harmful? What are the effects of these...

The Sacred Assembly, pt 3
We conclude our discussion of the concept of the sacred assembly and the topic of unbelievers in the worship service. The passages of scripture we are referencing are: 1 Corinthians 14:22-25, 2 Corinthians 6:14-18, Ezra 10, and Ezekiel 44 We explore the effects of allowing/desiring unbelievers in…
