Episode 12: From the Jesus Revolution to Mega Church :Pastor: FaithJourney with Pastor Skip Heitzig

What if we told you that a life-changing experience at a Billy Graham crusade led Skip Heitzig, the founder and main pastor at Calvary Church, down a path of faith, a true calling, and even a meeting with a Saudi prince? In today's episode, we have the honor of hearing from Skip as he shares his incredible journey, beginning with his involvement in the Jesus Revolution era and learning from the influential Chuck Smith at Calvary Chapel.

Skip opens up about the challenges he faced when moving to Albuquerque, New Mexico, and how his faith and God's calling transformed a small Bible study into the thriving Calvary Church community it is today. Through his unique teaching style focusing on understanding and applying scripture, he encourages embracing failure as part of the learning process. But it's not all smooth sailing, as Skip also recounts the pushback he's faced in his journey of faith and politics, including a candid conversation with Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman about the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.

We wrap up the episode by exploring the role of political conversations in church, the importance of focusing on Jesus as the true change agent in a person's life, and Skip's insights on the signs of the "last days" as foretold by Jesus. Let this episode inspire you to make the most of your time, stand up for what's right, and make a positive impact on the world.
