In this honest and heartfelt conversation, Pastor Josh hosts his wife Lauren and staff member Cynthia to discuss a topic that often sparks debate in the church: women in ministry.
Drawing from their own church backgrounds, personal experiences, and deep respect for scripture, they explore the biblical roles of women in leadership, the importance of God's order, and how Church on the Rock navigates the tension between empowerment and alignment with the Word.
With vulnerability and conviction, they unpack scriptures, historical context, and real-life examples—affirming that while women at COTR teach, lead, and communicate the gospel, the office of pastor is reserved for men.
This is part one of a two-part conversation intended to both clarify their church’s stance and encourage the wider body of Christ.

Why did Jesus choose women as the first to share the Gospel? This week, Pastor Josh delivers a timely message titled “The Birth of the Gospel” as part of our Good News series. Centered on Matthew 28, this sermon walks us through the resurrection story—where two women become the very first evangelists of the gospel—and what that means for us today.

What if you could explain the most life-changing message in just a few clear, powerful words? This video unpacks the Great Exchange—where Jesus traded His righteousness for our sinfulness—offering forgiveness, freedom, and new life to anyone who believes.
Rooted in Romans 1:16, we stand unashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for salvation to all who believe. Yet many Christians still feel hesitant to share this hope. Why? And how can we change that?
We’ll explore how to overcome fear with humility and clarity, and how to confidently share your faith—without being pushy or awkward. Whether you're a new believer or a seasoned follower of Christ, this is for you.

Are you talking about God more than you're talking to Him? 🤔
Prayer isn't just a good habit — it's your lifeline in spiritual warfare. When challenges hit, prayer transforms overwhelming battles into powerful victories. Stop letting anxiety dictate your response; there's a better way!
In this message, we go into: How prayer shifts us from human limitations to God's unlimited power. Why prayer should be our first response, not our last resort. What it means to "pray in the Spirit" and align with God's will. How David’s example of morning, noon, and night prayer strengthens your spirit. The warning from the church of Ephesus about losing our first love. Why consistent, Spirit-led prayer keeps you standing strong against enemy attacks.
If you're ready to move beyond talking about God and into powerful, life-changing conversations with Him, this message is for you. 🙏

Real Questions. Real Talk. Biblical Truth.
In this episode, Pastor Josh and Trevor dive into some of the most honest and heartfelt questions from our listeners:
What should I do in the waiting season? Why do sinful people seem to succeed? What’s the difference between losing faith and losing hope? How do I find a mentor to help grow my faith? What does it mean to bind and loose things in heaven and earth?
These aren’t easy questions, but they’re real—and we believe God has wisdom for each one. Whether you're in a season of silence or wrestling with unfairness, this conversation will meet you right where you are.
