Rechurched: Recent Episodes
Coastal Christian Ocean City
Rechurched podcast is meant to inspire conscience and instigate conviction, so people may know God and show God. In a day and age where the Church has been commercialized, the Christian secularized, and the cross sanitized, it’s time to return to a biblical faith that knows our life is to be crucified. The Apostle Paul said, “For I have determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified” (I Corinthians 2:2). Rechurched builds upon the time-tested and true brick and mortar of the Bible by calling the nominal Christian back to their faith’s foundation. Too many people are just going to church but have never experienced the transforming power of being the Church. So join us as we not only start the conversation about the identity crisis, but we end the conversation where Christ is, period.

This special episode provides a biblical worldview on the recent Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. Ethan Hoover and Matthew Maher dive into the various implications of this ruling, as well as the role of the Christian within such a controversial issue.
Ethan Hoover & Matthew Maher host Rechurched's first ever Q+R episode tackling several great questions submitted by the community on the content discussed in Season 1. Enjoy!
Questions Covered in This Episode:
- Question 1: Stan H
- What is the best way to discover a church that is not preaching the psychology, prosperity, or progressive gospel? In other words, how would you know a church is preaching the Bible as absolute truth?
- Question 2: Elizabeth E
- Can you name some current popular pastors/authors/people that you believe are teaching a false gospel? And share which false gospel it is?
- Question 3: Charity Walkowski
- Does God's Word say anything about defending our lives/lives of others against evil, that it is okay?
- If I were put in a situation where I would need to take someone's life rather than let them hurt my children, what would your Biblical wisdom be on this?
- Question 4: Genna G
- Would you suggest that I address my lead pastor/elders about my reason for leaving the congregation?
- Question 5: Jack Lawson
- You talked about a speaking engagement where the pastors were visibly shaken by your supposedly too political content. Do you think that is because of their fear of losing their physical Church and the money and livelihood that they built? And what advice biblically would you share with them?
- Season 2 Teaser: We will release a Season 2 trailer in several weeks, and then a couple weeks after that, we will release Episode 1 of Season 2.
