In this episode, we go back into the archives once again to one of Fuller's favorite conversations: Speaking the Truth in Love. In the Bible, we read that Jesus came full of grace and truth, but how are we as Christians supposed to emulate that . . . especially when we have to confront someone.
In this episode, Marc and Fuller talk about what it means to speak the truth in love from a Biblical perspective and then present a few ways that we can make sure that we lead with love when having conversations with both fellow believers and those who don't follow Jesus.

Have you ever gone through life wondering, "where is God in all of this mess, and is he still good?" We know we have, and our guest on today's show definitely has as well!
Today, we are excited to share an interview with Jess Ronne. In this interview, we talk about how she lost her husband and the grief that came as a result, how she is raising her special needs son (along with her other 7 children), how she has blended two families to become one, and how she watched God show up and work in the mess of her life.
Jess Ronne is an author, speaker, podcast host, CEO of The Lucas Project, caregiver advocate, and mom of 8. You’ll often find her chatting about faith, grief, food, simplicity, blended families, gardening, special needs, clean living, and everything else in between. Jess has 2 books, “Blended with Grit and Grace” and “ Sunlight Burning at Midnight," with a third book in the works!
We hope that through this episode, you see the goodness of God, and trust that even if you're in the middle of the mess, that He will show up and take care of you.

It seems like so many mega church pastors keep failing and falling from ministry. With the popularity of Christianity Today’s new podcast The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill, people are starting to ask if mega churches and mega church pastors are truly biblical and if they do more damage than good.
In this episode of RTC, Marc and Fuller talk about why Mega Church pastors fall and if Mega Churches are the only places where pastors fall from ministry. Rather than stick to the gossip, they take the conversation one step farther to ask, "why do pastors fall and can that happen to anyone?"
We trust you enjoy this conversation!

It seems like many Protestant, evangelical Christians now a days are all about the 2nd amendment and the ability to own firearms for self defense, but how should Christians in America think about gun ownership and usage? Should we fight for our rights or fight to live in a gun free world? To take the conversation one step father, when you get to other parts of the world, Christians are asking why Americans seem so obsessed with guns. So what should Christians do?
In this conversation, Marc and Fuller take a listener's question about guns and seek to find a Biblical answer to this question. In doing such, they look at the struggle that lies between fighting for our American rights while also following the Biblical mandate to die to ourselves. We know you'll enjoy this one!

Back2Back Ministries' primary mission is to provide every orphan child a home and place to belong, all 163 Million orphans in the world. With providing holistic orphan care, Back2Back has shaped and changed the world of orphan care and trauma training in many countries around the world, including countries in the 10/40 window. Although this ministry has a global reach, Back2Back has humble beginnings of two people who traveled to Mexico with basically no money, didn't know the language, but had a heart to love every orphan in the name of Jesus.
In this episode of RTC, Marc and Fuller sit down with Beth Guckenberger, co-founder and co-executive director of Back2Back Ministries to hear the story of how God doesn't always show us his whole plan, but if we follow him in the little steps, you never know where he may bring you and how he may use your life to impact the world. This episode shares the story of Back2Back, but it also introduces listeners to what holistic care involves and how understanding holistic care will help you understand trauma and love those who are difficult to love.

Over the last year, many (and may we say most) church have started to livestream their church's worship services, but before COVID even showed, many larger churches started to build online church experiences and communities. Many churches now have an "online campus" for their church and hire staff members and ordained pastors to oversee and shepherd the church's online community. In response to the growing online church community, there has also but much opposition to churches offering an online campus and online experience.
In this episode of RTC, Marc and Fuller ask the question of "does online church even count?" With looking to both Scripture and practical wisdom, they set out to see if the nay-sayers have any ground to stand on or if churches who use online campus are simply using 21st Century technology to bring the Gospel into people's homes and develop them into disciples of Jesus.
