CTR14-The Story God is Still Writing - Church on The Rock

In this milestone episode, the hosts guide listeners through the birth, rise, and prophetic future of Church on the Rock. They sit with Carl Kennedy, wife of Dr. Lawrence Kennedy, to recount how a modest A&W root‑beer stand in Texarkana sparked a movement that would stretch from Saskatchewan’s Eston College to Wright‑Patman Lake baptisms, from a fledgling congregation on Martin Luther King Boulevard to the sprawling campus on Mall Drive. Carl shares vivid memories of early evangelism, miraculous healings, and the mentorship of Canadian prophets like Ern Baxter and F.J. Kozik. The conversation pivots to pivotal partnerships—Larry Lee’s invitation from Rockwall, Texas, and the decisive moment when Carl’s counsel led the host to entrust the church’s next generation to a new pastor, John, whose integrity the host praises as the engine of the church’s next chapter. Interwoven are testimonies of global outreach, from preaching in Seoul and India to collaborations with figures such as Mike Huckabee, John Jimenez, and John Osteen. Biblical grounding anchors the celebration: the hosts cite 1 Corinthians 3 and 2 Timothy 3:16, emphasizing the inerrant Word, moral imperatives, and the Holy Spirit’s role in building a people rather than a building. They issue a prophetic vision of thousands of youth flooding the sanctuary, a second‑story expansion, and a renewed commitment to truth in a culture that often relativizes it. The episode closes with a heartfelt prayer of commitment, inviting listeners to embrace a personal relationship with Christ and to join the church’s ongoing mission to bring the good news to the world.
