CNLP 561: Andy and Stacie Wood on Following Rick Warren, The Detailed Breakdown on How the Saddleback Succession Happened, How to Navigate the Grief and Promise of Transition, and Being Kicked out of the SBC

Share This Post

Andy Wood did what many people thought (in his own words) “only an idiot might do”—become the pastor who follows Rick Warren. Andy breaks down the details of how the surprising call to Saddleback happened, exactly what they did during the transition, and how the congregations involved navigated the grief and promise of transition. Stacie Wood, Teaching Pastor at Saddleback, also joins the podcast later to discuss women in ministry and being kicked out of the SBC.

He Gets Us

No doubt you’ve heard about He Gets Us and their Super Bowl campaign. Well, the ads ran during the big game, but what happened after that? I sat down with Brad Hill, the Chief Solutions Officer from Gloo to learn about the impact the commercials made on those who saw them. Listen to today’s episode to hear what Brad had to share.
