    From Overdose to Redemption: Evan Shorey’s Testimony | Ep. 19

    What happens when someone raised in the church finds himself addicted to heroin and fighting for his life? Growing up surrounded by pastors and ministry, Evan Shorey knew all about God but struggled to truly know Him. What began as teenage rebellion eventually spiraled into drug addiction, a near-fatal overdose, and a desperate search for hope. In this powerful episode of Renew His World, host Carmen Lindsay sits down with Evan to hear his remarkable testimony of redemption. From his darkest moments in addiction to discovering the transforming power of God's grace through Teen Challenge, Evan shares how genuine surrender, biblical discipleship, and a community of believers helped rebuild his life. Together, they explore why following Christ requires more than religious rules, how God uses brokenness to bring restoration, and why the church must become a place where people can find authentic relationships, accountability, and lasting transformation. No matter how far you've fallen, your story isn't over. God can meet you right where you are. Guest Bio: Evan Shorey grew up in a family deeply rooted in Christian ministry, with generations of pastors shaping his early life. Despite his upbringing, Evan struggled to develop a personal relationship with Christ and eventually fell into substance abuse and heroin addiction. Following a near-fatal overdose while attending Teen Challenge, he experienced a turning point that led him toward genuine faith, recovery, and discipleship. After completing the program, Evan stayed to serve through an internship and later worked in video and film. Today, he is married, serves in ministry, and shares his testimony to encourage others to discover the transforming power of God's grace, surrender, and Christian community.

    Beyond Debate: Putting Faith Into Action | Pastor Charles Karuku (Part 2) | Ep. 18

    What does it look like for Christians to stand firmly on biblical truth while genuinely loving the people around them? In Part 2 of Carmen Lindsay’s conversation with Pastor Charles Karuku, they explore why Charles believes the Church must actively engage culture rather than retreat from it. Their conversation tackles biblical worldview, holiness, cultural disagreement, the meaning of sacrificial love, and how Christians can hold conviction without losing compassion. Charles challenges believers to return to Scripture, depend on the Holy Spirit, and demonstrate their faith through both their words and their actions. From praying for someone of another faith to quietly paying for the meal of an 80-year-old woman who had been stood up, Charles shares stories illustrating a simple idea: renewal doesn’t happen through debate alone. It happens when believers listen to God, meet practical needs, love their neighbors, and live out the Gospel one person at a time. Guest Bio: Pastor Charles Karuku is a Christian pastor and ministry leader whose message emphasizes biblical truth, the power of the Holy Spirit, and actively bringing the Gospel into everyday life. In his conversation with Carmen Lindsay, he draws from ministry experiences involving prayer, healing, evangelism, and practical acts of compassion.

    Fatherlessness, Identity, and the Crisis in America | Pastor Charles Karuku (Part 1) | Ep. 17

    What if America’s deepest crisis isn’t primarily political, but a crisis of identity, fatherhood, and purpose? In Part 1, Carmen Lindsay sits down with Pastor Charles Karuku to explore what it takes to see genuine transformation in individuals, families, communities, and entire cities. Pastor Charles shares his remarkable story of being born in Kenya after his father was killed, growing up without a father, and entering his teenage years angry, reckless, and searching for direction. His life began to change when he encountered Christ and discovered a truth that continues to shape his ministry today: it doesn’t matter how you were born; it matters why you were born. From there, Carmen and Charles confront the devastating effects of fatherlessness and the search for identity it can leave behind. They discuss the influence of music and culture, the need for healing and reconciliation, and Charles’ experience ministering in Minneapolis during the unrest following George Floyd’s death. Guest Bio: Pastor Charles Karuku is a pastor and ministry leader with a passion for revival, reconciliation, and city transformation. Born in Kenya after the death of his father, Charles experienced fatherlessness, anger, and recklessness before coming to know Christ as a teenager and discovering a new sense of identity and purpose. Today, through The Hub and his broader ministry, Charles works toward awakening cities through the spirit of revival. His ministry has included outreach in Minneapolis following the death of George Floyd, where he describes seeing worship, reconciliation, healing, baptisms, and revival emerge amid a city in crisis.  Resources Mentioned: The Hub / The Hub Nation: https://www.thehubnation.com/ T.

    The Church Was Never Called to Retreat | Chris Blackeby (Part 2) | Ep. 16

    What if the Church’s greatest challenge isn’t the darkness in the world, but forgetting who we were created to be? In Part 2 of Carmen Lindsay’s conversation with Chris Blackeby, they explore what it means to move from personal faith into the Church’s responsibility toward culture. Carmen and Chris discuss what it is to “rebuild the cities,” why Christians shouldn’t retreat from government, technology, education, business, the arts, and how believers can bring the character of God into every sphere of society. They also tackle difficult cultural and political questions surrounding government, socialism, sexuality, the border, masculinity and femininity, along with fatherhood. Through it all, Chris returns to one central idea: believers are called not merely to oppose what is wrong, but to become love, reveal the nature of God, and lay down their lives for others by becoming true sons of our Heavenly Father. If America is going to experience genuine renewal, perhaps the Church must first rediscover its identity, and then step boldly back into the world it was called to bless. Guest Bio: Chris Blackeby is an Australian Christian teacher and ministry leader with a passion for helping believers understand their identity as sons and daughters of God. Having served in youth and young-adult ministry and traveled internationally, Chris teaches on sonship, spiritual maturity, the Kingdom of God, and the Church’s calling to reveal the nature of God throughout every area of society. His message challenges Christians to move beyond religious performance and cultural retreat and instead live from relationship with the Father—bringing truth, mercy, love, and the resources of God’s Kingdom into their communities and the world. Resources Mentioned: Romans 8  Isaiah 61 Proverbs 29  Malachi  Matthew 5–7 Romans 12:2 John 21 Luke 9:51–56 Matthew 23:37 / Luke 13:34 Ephesians 1 2 Peter 1 Ephesians 4 Connect with Renew His World: Website: https://www.renewhisworld.org/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RenewHisWorld/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/RenewHisWorld/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@renewhisworld YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@RenewHisWorld Email info: carmen@renewhisworld.org — Footage provided by White Wolf Creative.

    Stop Trying to Earn What Christ Already Gave You | Chris Blackeby (Part 1) | Ep. 15

    What if the greatest obstacle keeping the Church from transforming the world is not a lack of effort—but a failure to understand who we already are in Christ? Host Carmen Lindsay sits down with Australian minister and teacher Chris Blackeby for a challenging conversation about the gospel, righteousness, identity, and the believer’s role in advancing God’s Kingdom. Chris explains why the good news begins with what Jesus has already accomplished—not with a list of behaviors Christians must perform to earn God’s approval. Chris also shares his remarkable testimony. After years of ministry, discipline, fasting, and service, his immune system collapsed, and doctors told him he had only months to live. Angry, exhausted, and feeling betrayed by God, Chris left everything behind and began traveling the world. Along the way, he discovered the goodness of a Father whose love was never dependent on his performance.   Guest Bio: Chris Blackeby is an Australian minister and Bible teacher whose message centers on the finished work of Jesus Christ, the believer’s identity as a son or daughter of God, and life in the Kingdom through relationship with the Father. After serving as a youth pastor, Chris experienced a devastating collapse of his immune system and was told he had only months to live. That crisis began a transformational journey away from performance-based religion and into a deeper revelation of God’s unconditional goodness. Through years of international travel, ministry, and teaching, Chris has helped believers understand righteousness as a gift received through Christ rather than a status earned through behavior. His work calls the Church to mature into the fullness of Christ, live from the Father’s love, and carry God’s wisdom into every area of culture.   Resources Mentioned: As He Is Ministries: https://www.asheisministries.org/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AsHeIsMinistries Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cblackeby Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/asheisministries TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@asheisministries Genesis 1–3 Isaiah 61 Romans 4 and Romans 8 1 Corinthians Galatians Ephesians Proverbs 29 The Sermon on the Mount The parable of the prodigal and older sons The parable of the talents Victorious Eschatology Chris Blackeby’s podcast and YouTube teachings on the gospel, identity, and sonship   Connect with Renew His World: Website: https://www.renewhisworld.org/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RenewHisWorld/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/RenewHisWorld/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@renewhisworld YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@RenewHisWorld Email info: carmen@renewhisworld.org — Footage provided by White Wolf Creative.

    The Missing Context Behind Revelation and the End Times | Rich Schmidt (Part 2) | Ep. 13

    For generations, many Christians have read Matthew 24 and the book of Revelation as a roadmap for events still waiting to happen. But what if those passages were primarily speaking to the first century rather than our future? In Part 2 of Carmen Lindsay's conversation with Pastor Rich Schmidt, the discussion dives even deeper into biblical prophecy, the destruction of Jerusalem, and why understanding the transition from the Old Covenant to the New Covenant changes the way we read Scripture. Rich walks through Daniel, Matthew 24, Luke 21, Acts, Hebrews, and Revelation, showing how these passages connect in ways many believers have never considered. Rather than leading to fear about the future, he argues that the New Testament points believers toward hope, confidence, and a renewed mission for the Church today. Guest Bio: Rich Schmidt serves as a Bible instructor at the Bethel Church School of Supernatural Ministry, where he teaches Scripture with a passion for historical context and sound biblical interpretation. After spending more than sixteen years in pastoral ministry and church planting on the East Coast, Rich followed God's leading to California, where years of humble service eventually opened the door to teaching full-time. Today, he helps believers engage Scripture thoughtfully while exploring topics such as the Kingdom of God, biblical prophecy, and the hope found throughout the Bible. Resources Mentioned: Scriptures Referenced: The Book of Daniel, Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 21, Luke 23, Acts 2, Hebrews (especially chapters 8 and 9), Revelation, Joel 2, Jeremiah, Ezra, Nehemiah, Ezekiel 16, Romans 8:1, John 3:16 Historical writings of Eusebius (referenced) Connect with Renew His World: Website: https://www.renewhisworld.org/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RenewHisWorld/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/RenewHisWorld/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@renewhisworld YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@RenewHisWorld Email info: carmen@renewhisworld.org — Footage provided by White Wolf Creative.

    The End Times Through the Lens of Hope | Rich Schmidt (Part 1) | Ep. 12

    For many Christians, conversations about the end times have been shaped by fear, uncertainty, and the belief that the world can only grow darker before Christ returns. But what if there's another way to understand the biblical story? In Part 1 of Carmen Lindsay's conversation with Bible teacher Rich Schmidt, the discussion begins with Rich's remarkable journey, from serving as a pastor on the East Coast to leaving everything behind for an unexpected season at Bethel Church, where years of hidden faithfulness eventually led him into teaching ministry. The conversation then turns toward one of Christianity's most debated subjects: biblical prophecy. Rich explains why he began questioning interpretations of the end times that consistently produced fear and hopelessness, and why he believes Scripture deserves to be examined within its historical context. Guest Bio: Rich Schmidt serves as a Bible instructor at the Bethel Church School of Supernatural Ministry, where he teaches Scripture with a passion for historical context and sound biblical interpretation. After spending more than sixteen years in pastoral ministry and church planting on the East Coast, Rich followed God's leading to California, where years of humble service eventually opened the door to teaching full-time.
