In this episode, we sit down with Pastor Rick Warren. Now serving as a pastor for several years, Rick reflects on the incredible journey of God’s redemption in his life. Growing up in a home with no knowledge of God, his life revolved around chasing the pleasures of the world. With little positive influence around him, he was immersed in partying, drugs, money, and the lifestyle the world says leads to fulfillment. But that path only left him empty—and eventually cost him everything he loved. Rick shares how, in the middle of that brokenness, God stepped in and completely transformed his life. Through his story, we see that God’s redemption truly knows no limits and that He lives up to His name as the Redeemer. Hear how one invitation to church changed everything, and how God took Rick from a life of destruction to a life of purpose.🔔 Subscribe to stay updated on future episodes!👍 Like, share, and comment to spread the love!Our links (Spotify, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, etc.): https://bio.site/liupodcastNew Believer?

On today’s episode of the Light It Up Podcast, we’re joined once again by Evangelist Craig McLaughlin. What began with a simple question—“Do you have anything else to add?”—opened the door to a conversation about being led by the voice of God and what it means to follow His guidance. From discernment and testing, to words of knowledge, Craig shares insight gained through his years of ministry as an evangelist, helping us understand how to recognize and discern God’s voice.

This week on the Light It Up Podcast, we are honored to be joined by Pastor Scott Lamb from the West Las Vegas Potter's House. With 40 years in ministry, Pastor Lamb has seen God come through in impossible situations. From the overnight change in his alcoholic father, or the way God turned a church with no vision for the future into one that just sent out 11 brand new churches into the world this April, he has learned to trust God for the unfeasible results. However, it hasn't always been this way. Not only do we discuss his ministry and the impact of it, but we hear the raw stories of how Pastor Lamb grew up--from being a drug-fueled hippie to a radical guitar player for Jesus. Tune in for what Rafael and Wyatt have determined as the greatest episode they've ever had.
