Against The Current
It's summer, and we’re talking plans — fishing trips, beach days, church camps, and... pickleball? 😂 But underneath the fun, we're asking real questions: Are the plans we make drawing us closer to God or pulling us away?

Fully Integrated Faith: Lessons from the Released Church

Fully Integrated Faith: Lessons from the Released Church
with Rob Wegner, KC Underground

In this standout episode, Jake McCandless welcomes Rob Wegner, co-founder of KC Underground, to unpack how the decentralized, disciple-making model of the early church can transform the way we parent today.

Drawing from his years of experience catalyzing movements in both India and the U.S., Rob shares how microchurches and spiritual families—built on rhythms of worship, community, and mission—mirror the practices of the Book of Acts. More importantly, he shows how these rhythms shape children into lifelong disciples.

This episode is a masterclass in parenting as discipleship. Rob outlines simple, powerful rhythms—like the B.L.E.S.S. model—that any family can adopt: Begin in prayer, Listen, Eat together, Serve others, and Share stories of God’s work. He also emphasizes the vital role of multi-generational spiritual families and how integrating children into the life of the church, rather than segmenting them away, builds faith that lasts.

💡 Key takeaways for parents:

  • Faith must be lived with our children, not just taught to them.

  • Everyday moments—meals, walks, and bedtime—can become spiritual milestones.

  • Children grow in their faith best through shared mission, joy, and vulnerability in the home.

Fully Integrated Faith: Lessons from the Underground Church

In this compelling episode of Stand Firm Parents, host Jake McCandless sits down with Joel Richardson, a New York Times bestselling author and internationally respected teacher and filmmaker. Known for his deep understanding of Bible prophecy and global missions, Joel turns our attention toward the underground church in Iran—a place where the gospel is flourishing against all odds.

Joel explains how a movement of everyday believers—not professional pastors—is fueling explosive disciple-making in one of the most dangerous regions on earth. Through simple obedience, Discovery Bible Study, and an unwavering focus on the Holy Spirit’s leading, this underground church has become the fastest-growing expression of Christianity in the world.

The conversation unpacks how Western Christians—and especially parents—can learn from these first-century-style movements. Joel emphasizes that revival doesn't require comfort or polish. It requires humility, repentance, and authentic living. A fully integrated faith isn’t something we attend on Sundays—it’s something we model and multiply every day in our homes.

🛠 Key Takeaways:

  • Iran’s underground church thrives by embracing disciple-making and suffering.

  • The movement is led by laypeople, not clergy—with an emphasis on Holy Spirit-led obedience.

  • Parents in the West must model authenticity, humility, and mission to pass on a lasting faith.

  • The model of evangelism isn’t debate—it’s invitation.
