This week on Ministry on the Move, we’re back in Hot Springs Village, Arkansas—America’s largest gated community—and catching up with Pastor Ronnie Gilmore, who’s been on a 13-year mission to breathe new life into First Assembly of God after it had closed its doors. From starting churches from scratch to engaging a community hungry for the Lord, Ronnie shares how he and his wife, Twana, turned what looked like a retirement town into a thriving, multi-generational church.

We talk real ministry: building relationships, loving people where they are, seeing radical life change, and doing whatever it takes—from preaching to plumbing—to get the job done. Ronnie gives insight into keeping a church healthy, walking the line between truth and grace, and staying true to God’s calling for the long haul.

If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to rebuild a church, cultivate real community, or simply follow Jesus without compromise, this episode is for you. And stick around for the speed round at the end—you might be surprised by Ronnie’s picks in music, tech, and books!

What happens when you put three seasoned ministry leaders around the same table and ask them what the church is really facing today?

In this episode, Chris sits down at Coronado Baptist Church in Hot Springs Village, Arkansas with Dennis Phelps, Dale Clancy, and Mark Eichelberger for one of the most wide-ranging roundtable discussions the podcast has ever had.

From personal salvation stories to seminary teaching, music ministry, and decades of pastoral experience, these men share how God called them and how their paths intersected in Arkansas. But the conversation quickly moves deeper.

Together they tackle some of the most pressing questions facing the church today:

• What theological issues actually matter to this generation?

• Why are young people hungry for truth and authenticity?

• Has the American church confused the American Dream with the Gospel?

• What does real discipleship look like for Gen Z?

• And what role do prayer, revival, and humility play in the future of Christianity?

Along the way, they discuss everything from Daniel in Babylon to the fulfillment of prophecy, spiritual warfare, cultural pressure, and the danger of “marrying the spirit of the age.”

This is not a shallow conversation. It’s an honest, thoughtful discussion about faith, truth, revival, and the future of the church.

If you care about the next generation of believers—or the direction of Christianity in America—this episode is one you don’t want to miss.
