Q&A with Pastor Stephen Martin & Pastor Rob McCoy: Biblical Confidence in Action | Under God Podcast Episode 225

Join Pastor Stephen Martin and Pastor Rob McCoy for an unfiltered Q&A session that tackles the questions Christians are actually asking about faith, culture, and Kingdom impact. Recorded live at Vintage Church, this powerful conversation addresses some of today's most challenging and controversial topics with biblical clarity, pastoral wisdom, and practical application.

This special episode emerges from the recent passing of Charlie Kirk, whose servant-hearted approach to evangelism transformed countless lives—from hostile college campuses to the highest levels of cultural influence. Pastor Rob shares firsthand accounts from memorial services, including observations about Elon Musk's presence, that reveal the unstoppable power of a life completely surrendered to God. The discussion then opens to real questions from real believers facing real-world challenges in living out their faith boldly.

TOPICS DISCUSSED IN THIS Q&A SESSION:

Charlie Kirk's Servant Leadership Legacy

Pastor Rob reflects on Charlie's eternal impact and how his approach to evangelism—treating people as opportunities rather than enemies—produced transformation testimonies that even wealth and influence cannot explain.

Christian Nationalism: Biblical Perspective

Addressing one of culture's most weaponized labels, Pastor Rob provides scriptural clarity on whether it's wrong to love both Christ and country, dismantling the false dichotomy that says you must choose between faith and patriotism.

Love as the Ultimate Apologetic Weapon

Discover why genuine relationship and servant-hearted engagement break down barriers that arguments and debates cannot penetrate, and how asking questions creates a roadmap to someone's heart.

Natural Evangelism Without Being Weird

Practical strategies for sharing your faith in everyday contexts—from workplaces to auto repair shops—that feel authentic rather than forced or preachy.

Making Disciples Who Make Disciples

The three essential elements of biblical discipleship, the critical developmental window for teaching children (ages 5-7), and why discipleship is about relationship and observation, not just information transfer.

Breaking Down Barriers Through Questions

Your Words Reveal Your Heart

Addressing the common excuse "God knows my heart" when behavior contradicts profession, exploring why speech patterns matter and how to lovingly confront fellow believers walking inconsistently.
