THE UN-SILENT CHURCH

The church was established as a society of people representing the person, work and character of Jesus; his voice to the powerful and the powerless, his presence with insiders and outsiders, and his identity as the representation of God, the reconciler of all things, and the savior and redeemer of the world. Regrettably, the church has also garnered a reputation as being silent on issues where we should’ve spoken, and being complicit among the pain for which we should have helped heal, resist and taken a stand. The church needs access points that reflect God’s true point of view about certain issues in a way that demonstrates a relational, informed and compassionate response to the things happening in our world today. Our hope is to be among the list of podcasts Christians subscribe to because of our multi-ethinic, biblically-faithful, and culturally-accurate voice on the issues people care about most.2020 Roosevelt Community Church Christianity Ministry & Evangelism Political Science Politics & Government Relationships Social Sciences Spirituality

  • Planting the Gospel in Murder Town USA

    Planting the Gospel in Murder Town USA
    Mar 18 2026
    Derrick Parks wasn't looking to plant a church, but a random trip to see about a dog in Wilmington, Delaware changed everything. From the core team of Epiphany Fellowship in Philly to navigating church hurt, celebrity culture in Christian hip-hop, and the realities of inner-city ministry with no funding, Derrick shares what it actually looks like to plant the gospel (not just a church) in a city Newsweek once called Murder Town USA. ---------- VISIT US IN PERSON Roosevelt Community Church 924 N 1st St, Phoenix, AZ 85004 Sunday Service: 10:00 AM rooseveltchurch.org CONNECT WITH US: 📧 Newsletter: Text "newsletter" to 855-834-2593 📝 Want to connect with us?

  • Bad Bunny, the Super Bowl, and the Danger of Binary Christianity

    Bad Bunny, the Super Bowl, and the Danger of Binary Christianity
    Mar 3 2026
    Our climate is increasingly defined by false choices. Whether it’s the Super Bowl stage or immigration enforcement, we are constantly pressured to pick sides in a fight where both options fall short of the Gospel. In this episode, we explore a revival of nuance. Christianity offers us a robust ethic that refuses to simplify reality into extreme either/or traps. We discuss how to affirm both order and compassion, truth and love, and justice and mercy—even when the culture demands we choose only one.

  • Are we in the midst of revival?!

    Are we in the midst of revival?!
    Feb 17 2026
    Is it revival or reaction? Talk of a spiritual "awakening" has moved from the pew to the center of the American cultural and political stage. But as the language of faith becomes a currency, we have to ask: Is this a move of God, or a collective outcry against a failing system? This episode explores the space between emotional highs and lasting spiritual change. By examining the biblical and historical markers of renewal—repentance, humility, and justice—we discuss what’s required to sustain a movement once the spotlights fade. ---------- VISIT US IN PERSON Roosevelt Community Church 924 N 1st St, Phoenix, AZ 85004 Sunday Service: 10:00 AM rooseveltchurch.org CONNECT WITH US: 📧 Newsletter: Text "newsletter" to 855-834-2593 📝 Want to connect with us?

Located at the intersection of Roosevelt and 1st Street in the Roosevelt Arts District in Downtown Phoenix. RCC is a multiethnic congregation gathering every Sunday, with a unique voice crossing theology, street, and family. We make content to help extend the message of the gospel everywhere people are, far beyond Sunday morning. We share theological social commentary on a number of issues and current events, so that as much as it depends on us, we do not fail to speak on matters that have gone unspoken from churches historically. We believe the gospel of Jesus and his kingdom, and all its righteousness is thorough and complete as the authority to help us navigate our world, so we want to be faithful in providing everyone who listens a clear path to follow the way of Jesus.
