The One Word Every Pastor Needs
What's the one thing every pastor needs above gifting, above charisma, above a good sermon? In this message from Titus 1, Pastor Rogers walks through Paul's charge to young Titus, a discouraged pastor serving in a hard place, and distills God's requirements for a pastor down to one word: integrity. Integrity in doctrine, integrity in morals, integrity in home life, integrity in ministry. Pastor Rogers shows three places integrity has to hold: at home, in a pastor's personal life, and in the pulpit itself, because a congregation can tell the difference between a man who lives what he preaches and one who doesn't. This episode will challenge you to stand fast where God has placed you and to lead with a life that matches your message. "No one should try to lead who does not live what he preaches and preach what he lives." —Adrian Rogers Content from this podcast is from the original sermon, God's Pattern for a Pastor, by Adrian Rogers.

Preaching God's Word: Why it Still Matters
Why does it matter that we call the Bible the Word of God, and not just "biblical materials" or "record of God's revelation"? In this message from 1 Thessalonians 1, Pastor Rogers makes the case for pastors and teachers alike: because Scripture is called the Word of God, it must be absolutely perfect, since a God of truth cannot inspire error. Pastor Rogers goes further, showing that the Bible shares its very name with Jesus Christ, who is also called the Word of God, so that the character of the Written Word and the Living Word are forever linked. And because it's God's Word, it carries real power: it converts, cleanses, controls, and confirms every believer who receives it. This episode will strengthen your confidence in the Book you preach and remind you why every word of it is worth your life. "A God of truth cannot inspire error." —Adrian Rogers Content from this podcast is from the original sermon, The Gospel Ministry, by Adrian Rogers. Learn more about your calling as a pastor.

The Secret to a Church That Stays Together
What does a championship basketball team have in common with a healthy church? In this message from Philippians 2 and 4, Pastor Rogers borrows a principle from legendary UCLA coach John Wooden, who built championship teams around three things: getting players in condition, teaching them to play together, and drilling the fundamentals. Pastor Rogers shows how those same three things, sanctification, fellowship, and discipleship, are exactly what it takes to build a unified church. From Paul's charge to two feuding women in the Philippian church, Pastor Rogers unpacks three requirements for real unity: harmony, hearts tuned to the same standard in Christ, not forced uniformity; humility, not thinking lowly of yourself, but not thinking of yourself at all; and helpfulness, looking out for the interests of others rather than just your own. This episode will help you lead your church toward a unity that isn't forced from the outside, but grows from the inside out. "Uniformity comes from without. Unity comes from within. Unity can never be brought about by rules. It can never be brought about by threats. It cannot be brought about by pressure." —Adrian Rogers Content from this podcast is from the original sermon, Unity in the Church, by Adrian Rogers. Learn more about your calling as a pastor.

The Kind of Man God Uses, Part 2
Picking up where Part 1 left off, Pastor Rogers continues his study of Gideon's life with a warning every pastor needs to hear: vision and valor aren't enough without vigilance. Using Gideon's test at the water, separating the men who stayed alert from those who let their guard down, Pastor Rogers challenges pastors to never let their calling make them careless. Pastor Rogers closes with the final two marks of a man God uses: vitality, the reminder that God takes ordinary "barley bread" people and fills them with extraordinary power, and victory, the promise that obedience and faith, not strength in numbers, win the battle. This is Part 2 of a two-part message on the making and ministry of a man of God. "It's not scholarship, it's relationship. It's not ability, it's availability. It's not your fame, it's your faith." —Adrian Rogers Content from this podcast is from the original sermon, The Making and the Ministry of a Man of God, Part 2, by Adrian Rogers.

The Kind of Man God Uses, Part 1
God didn't call Gideon because he was strong; He called him because Gideon was willing. In this message from Judges 6, Pastor Rogers walks through the life of a man who saw himself as the least likely candidate for ministry, and shows how God transformed him anyway. Pastor Rogers identifies five marks of a man God uses, beginning with vision, an encounter with the living God that changes how you see your calling, and valor, the courage that comes only from a fresh vision of who God is. This is Part 1 of a two-part message on the making and ministry of a man of God. "God took this man, Gideon, and God loved him, and God used him, and God called him—not for what he was, but for what God could make out of him." —Adrian Rogers Content from this podcast is from the original sermon, The Making and the Ministry of a Man of God, Part 1, by Adrian Rogers.

The Vision Every Church Needs
What made the New Testament church different? Pastor Rogers says it was rigid, respected, revolutionary, and responsive, qualities that feel almost countercultural today. In this message from Proverbs 29:18, Pastor Rogers challenges pastors to stop measuring their churches against neighboring congregations and start measuring against the New Testament pattern instead. Pastor Rogers lays out a vision for "wholesomeness" in ministry: preaching the whole Bible, presenting the whole Christ, mobilizing the whole church, ministering to the whole man, and reaching the whole world. This episode will help you cast a vision for your own congregation that's big enough to match the calling God has placed on it. "A vision is knowledge, but it is more than knowledge. It is knowledge on fire." —Adrian Rogers Content from this podcast is from the original sermon, God's Plan for the Church, by Adrian Rogers. Learn more about your calling as a pastor.

How to Lead Through Growing Pains
Every growing church has problems, and that's not a warning sign, but a sign of life. In this message from Acts 5 and 6, Pastor Rogers unpacks the New Testament model for how a church operates: pastor-led, deacon-served, committee-operated, and congregationally affirmed. When the Early Church multiplied, a legitimate problem surfaced: the neglect of the Grecian widows. It could have split the church through murmuring. Instead, the apostles modeled a better way. Pastor Rogers walks pastors through three principles for facing growth: where there's life, there's growth; where there's growth, there are problems; and where there are problems, there are God-given solutions. This episode will help you see the friction in your growing church not as a failure, but as an opportunity to depend on God and raise up godly leaders to serve alongside you. "Where there is life, there is growth. Where there is growth, there are problems. Where there are problems, there are God-given solutions." —Adrian Rogers Learn more about your calling as a pastor.

How to Find Contentment in the Ministry
In a world of metrics, platforms, and public applause, it's easy for pastors to feel invisible, inadequate, or envious. In this freeing message from John 3, Adrian Rogers looks at the life of John the Baptist to show us where true contentment in ministry is found—not in the crowd's approval, but in the Savior's glory. With pastoral warmth and biblical insight, Dr. Rogers reminds us that our calling is not to be the star, but the friend of the Bridegroom - the one who prepares the way, then steps aside with joy. If you're struggling with discouragement or comparison, this episode will refresh your soul and reset your perspective. "The highest place is the center of God's will.

How to Be Found Faithful in Ministry
What will it be like to stand before God and answer for your ministry? In this powerful message rooted in Hebrews 13 and 2 Corinthians 5, Adrian Rogers reminds pastors that every sermon, decision, and motive will one day pass before the eyes of the Lord. While salvation is by grace, rewards are by works, and not every work will stand the test of fire.

The Church Needs Shepherds, Not CEOs
The church doesn't need CEOs. It needs shepherds. In this heartfelt and challenging message from 1 Peter 5, Adrian Rogers shares what real pastoral leadership looks like, based not on worldly models but on the servant leadership of Jesus. Originally delivered to the Southern Baptist Convention Pastors' Conference, this message draws a vivid picture of the pastor as elder, shepherd, and bishop, called not to control, but to guide, feed, protect, and serve the flock. With personal stories, biblical depth, and direct exhortation, Dr. Rogers urges pastors to lead with maturity, humility, and authority under Christ. "The model for leadership is not the prince of the church, but the Chief Shepherd who leads through servanthood." —Adrian Rogers Enroll for free—limited-time offer!

Using the powerful image of a "lower rower"—a slave at the bottom of an ancient ship—Dr. Rogers unpacks what it means to be a servant of Christ and a steward of the Word of God. He speaks to the heart of every minister who has felt the pressure to perform or the pain of comparison. This episode will encourage you to stay faithful, stay humble, and remember that the only applause that matters is from the One who called you.

Ministry is More Than a Job
What sets apart a true minister of the Gospel? It's not education, gifting, or ambition. It's a call from God. In this foundational message from Ephesians 4, Adrian Rogers lays out what it means to be a God-called man and why that calling changes everything. Dr. Rogers walks through seven theological pillars that anchor biblical ministry and unpacks the character traits that mark a true servant of Christ: humility, meekness, patience, love, and Spirit-filled conviction. This episode will help you examine not only what you do in ministry, but why you do it and whether God is working through you or you're just working for Him.
