Taking Ground with Aaron Brockett

What happens when culture starts shaping what we believe about God? In this episode Pastor Aaron Brockett, Landon Rose, Chad Lunsford and Greg Anderson explain syncretism, how Christians can unknowingly blend cultural beliefs with biblical truth, and why we must let Scripture shape our worldview instead of reshaping Scripture to fit our culture. ​

Jesus refuses to be Lord of some of your life. He’s either Lord of all or not Lord at all. In this episode of the Taking Ground Podcast, we ask what it looks like to live like the King has actually come, and how to deploy for impact at home, at work, and in your neighborhood. What we talk about: - Deploy for Impact: Jesus calls us to go, so we step out as salt and light, making a Kingdom-difference in the world around us. - The parable of the tenants: your life is God’s vineyard, so how are you managing what he’s entrusted to you? (Mark 12) - Why Jesus wants to be your Lord, not just your Savior - Why treating God like a vending machine echoes the pride that took down Satan - Zach Meerkreebs’s message on humility: don’t waste the confrontation, and belovedness is the Christian superpower 👍 Like, comment, and subscribe for more podcasts built on truth 🔔 Turn on notifications so you never miss an episode MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE - Download the Traders Point App | https://tpcc.org/app - Zach Meerkreebs | Guest Speaker at All Staff | https://www.zachmeerkreebs.com/ ABOUT TRADERS POINT We believe Jesus changes everything.

"The only thing worse than being in a fight is being in one and not knowing you're in one." Pastor Aaron and Landon break down what spiritual warfare actually looks like, how to recognize it, and how to stand firm when you're under attack. In this episode of the Taking Ground podcast, they cover: What spiritual warfare is (and isn't) The spiritual realm behind the physical How the enemy accuses, tempts, and twists Scripture The armor of God Why prayer, Scripture, and staying connected to other believers help you stand firm If you've ever wondered whether what you're facing is spiritual, or how to fight back with faith instead of fear, this conversation is for you. 👍 Like, comment, and subscribe for more podcasts built on truth 🔔 Turn on notifications so you never miss an episode MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE The Five Expectations — Come Ready, Man Your Station, Find Your Crew, Give Your First and Best, Invest and Invite.

In this episode of the Taking Ground Podcast, we take a deeper look at the first part of our mission statement: Clear the Way. We talk about where this part of our mission came from, what it means to remove unnecessary barriers that keep people from Jesus, and what it looks like to live that out in our own lives. We also talk about why following Jesus means being willing to move beyond our preferences and comfort, how confession and repentance help clear the way in our own hearts, and why reaching more people isn’t about becoming a bigger church. It’s about faithfully stewarding what God has entrusted to us and making room for one more person to know and follow Jesus. 👍 Like, Comment, and Subscribe to keep up with more podcasts built on truth 🔔 Turn on post notifications so you never miss an episode MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE Traders Point App | https://tpcc.org/app Filmore Bouldes Message | https://youtu.be/_iFUo9busuI Our Partners | https://tpcc.org/our-partners ABOUT TRADERS POINT We believe Jesus changes everything.

On this episode of the Taking Ground Podcast, Aaron reflects on his summer sabbatical, what God taught him while he stepped away, and what he’s carrying into this next season at Traders Point. He opens up about the challenges of slowing down, finding his identity beyond what he produces, learning to be present with God, and recognizing the difference between the voice of the Holy Spirit and his own inner critic. The conversation also dives into what it means to steward what God has entrusted to us, resist cynicism, and stay ready for whatever God wants to do next. 👍 Like, Comment, and Subscribe to keep up with more podcasts built on truth 🔔 Turn on post notifications so you never miss an episode MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE Traders Point App | https://tpcc.org/app ABOUT TRADERS POINT We believe Jesus changes everything.

In this episode, Pastors Landon Rose, Greg Anderson and Chad Lunsford talk about three things that should shape how we live: the fear of God, the pursuit of holiness, and the urgency of knowing Jesus is coming back. They talk about what it means to see Jesus rightly, not only as loving and gracious, but as Holy and worthy of our surrender. Pastor Greg shares why the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, what it looks like to pursue holiness as a daily rhythm of confession and repentance. As we anticipate Jesus’ return, we're challenged to stay awake, pursue holiness, and live with a greater sense of urgency in the way we love, serve and follow Jesus. 👍 Like, Comment, and Subscribe to keep up with more podcasts built on truth 🔔 Turn on post notifications so you never miss an episode MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE Download the App | https://tpcc.org/app Rooted | https://tpcc.org/rooted Bible Reading Plan | Download the App The Awe of God by John Bevere | The King Is Coming by John Bevere | https://www.amazon.com/dp/1400349672/ref=sspa_dk_hqp_detail_aax_0?psc=1&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9ocXBfc2hhcmVk ABOUT TRADERS POINT We believe Jesus changes everything.

What happens when we stop trying to control the moment and actually make space for God to move? In this conversation, Pastors Chad Lunsford, Greg Anderson, and Anne Wilson reflect on an unforgettable week at summer camp where prayer shaped everything, plans were interrupted, and students experienced life-changing encounters with Jesus. As they process what God did, they begin to name what it means for everyday life, especially for parents and families and their influence in the home. They talk about the importance of modeling faith and simple next steps like prayer, being in the Word, and creating space for God to move in ordinary moments. 👍 Like, Comment, and Subscribe to keep up with more podcasts built on truth 🔔 Turn on post notifications so you never miss an episode MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE - Daily Bible Reading | Download the App - Rooted | https://tpcc.org/rooted - Find Your Crew | Download the app - Traders Point Youth | https://www.instagram.com/traderspointyouth/ ABOUT TRADERS POINT We believe Jesus changes everything.

They’re then joined by guest Scott Nickel, Lead Pastor at Southland Christian Church, for a wide-ranging conversation on faith, culture, parenting, discipleship, and the growing hunger for biblical truth.

In this episode, we sit down with René Wagner from Zeal Church, one of our partner churches in Germany, to talk about what it means to carry an unchanging Gospel into a constantly changing world. René shares how God is sparking an extraordinary revival in one of the world’s most atheistic cities. What started as a simple prayer for 30 people has grown into a thriving church with hundreds gathering across three campuses. It’s a great reminder that while the way the Church gathers, communicates, and reaches people may shift over time, the Gospel itself never changes. It is timeless, powerful, and relevant in every nation. We’re test-driving this content, so if it’s helpful to you, rate, review, like, and share these episodes.

In a world full of cultural outrage, political tension, and nonstop noise, how can Christians stay sober-minded? Pastor Aaron and the guys talk about responding thoughtfully instead of reacting emotionally, the difference between disagreement and rage, and why so many people struggle to hold multiple truths at once. They highlight Jesus’s example of being sober-minded and how prayer and fasting can help reset our hearts, sharpen discernment, and guide us to respond with wisdom instead of anxiety. Rather than withdrawing or getting swept up in the chaos, Christians are called to engage with God’s peace, lift their eyes to the harvest field, and live out His mission in a broken world.
