In this special episode, Pastor Tyler sits down with his dad, Pastor Troy Warner—missionary, church planter, and member of the Calvary Chapel Association Leadership Council—to walk through over 30 years of ministry, church planting, and God’s faithfulness. Pastor Troy shares how the Lord saved him at six years old in a Baptist revival meeting, called him into ministry as a teenager, sent him to Australia as a young missionary, and eventually led him to plant Calvary Chapel Lynchburg in what was already known as “the City of Churches.” They talk honestly about slow growth, discouragement, prophetic promises that seemed delayed, and what it’s like to watch God suddenly fulfill decades-old words. If you’re a pastor, church planter, missionary, or just someone wondering whether God really finishes what He starts, this episode will encourage you to stay faithful and trust the Lord’s timing.

"Firebrand" is available NOW! https://www.ironworks.media/bookstore/p/firebrand Welcome to Episode 62 of the Ironworks Podcast! Pastor Tyler and Zack ask: "What if the stories that ignite our faith aren't relics of the past, but living testimonies happening right now?" This conversation takes us deep into the heart of modern missionary work through the extraordinary life of Nanda Giri, a former Hindu priest's son turned revolutionary turned passionate follower of Christ. His journey from the mountains of Nepal—where he fought as a teenage communist guerrilla, survived being shot and left for dead, and eventually discovered Jesus while searching for a revolutionary leader—reminds us that God is still writing incredible stories of transformation today. We're challenged to reconsider what we think we know about other cultures and religions, particularly Hinduism's caste system and the doctrine of karma, which traps millions in cycles of hopelessness and suffering. The gospel doesn't just offer eternal salvation; it brings immediate liberation, dignity, and hope to those enslaved by spiritual oppression. As we read testimonies like Nanda's, we're not just learning history—we're being provoked to examine our own lives and ask: What is God calling us to do? What revolutionary story might He be writing through our obedience? The same Spirit that transformed a Hindu revolutionary into a pastor training over 1,200 church leaders is available to work through us, wherever we're planted.
