Pastor Tommy Nelson: The Legacy of Fifty Years in the Pulpit
Before Zach ever met him, he heard his voice on the radio. In the 1980s, Pastor Tommy Nelson of Denton Bible Church taught the Song of Solomon "on a lark," and his church jumped from 700 to 1,250 in six weeks. Then 4,000 singles showed up to a Dallas Bible study, the tapes went onto military bases and submarines around the world, and a generation learned what the Bible actually says about love, sex, and marriage. Now, after 50 years in the pulpit, Tommy sits down with Dr. Zach Terry for an honest look back: the white shoes that cost him a Texas A&M scholarship, the church "nobody planted," the night his body quit before he preached, and the psychiatrist who said, "He has run out of gas." He talks openly about depression, medication, and rest, why a driven pastor with AI is a dangerous combination, what the Amish and Andy Griffith understand about a simple life, and why every church needs a discipleship current running under the Sunday crowd. They also take on the hard questions: Should "one nation under God" name which God? Why is antisemitism rising on elite campuses? How should Christians love Israel without pretending Israel is always right? Stay to the end for Tommy's stories about Howard Hendricks, his one regret, and a word of hope for the next generation of pastors.

He Translated for MacArthur and Lawson. Here's What He Learned When Heroes Fall - Hernan Sierra
He was baptized at 12, raised in church, and a model kid. He was also lost. Pastor Hernán Sierra of Tegucigalpa, Honduras, tells how God saved him through his wife's transformation and an expository sermon, then turned a Spanish-speaking "perfect Pharisee" into the voice behind John MacArthur, Steve Lawson, and other Reformed preachers across Central America. Then the conversation turns hard. Dr. Zach Terry gives his first honest take on Steve Lawson's newly released book after his moral failure ("I still haven't decided if he wrote it"), and the two pastors talk candidly about why leaders fall, why outrage is the wrong response, what MacArthur was like when the cameras were off, and how a church can publicly restore a fallen brother without putting him back on the platform. If you love your pastor, pray for your pastor, or are a pastor, this one is for you. Stay to the end for Jude's doxology: the God who kept you from the beginning is able to keep you to the end. TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Welcome back: Pastor Hernán Sierra joins Zach in studio 1:09 "To live is Christ" and the heartbeat illustration 2:30 Borrowing sermon insights: "The third time, I was thinking the other day..." 3:24 Baptized at 12, still lost: Hernán's story begins 4:30 A marriage on the edge of divorce, and a wife made new 5:45 "I was a perfect Pharisee" 6:11 Saved under expository preaching: the veil comes off 8:28 Planting a church in his garage (yes, the dogs counted) 9:10 Translator or "interrupter"? Translating for a Word of Faith preacher 10:00 First translation job and "born again, again" through the doctrines of grace 12:12 When your experience lines up with election 14:23 Why churches entertain, and the "baptized pagans" in the pews 15:49 Translating for John MacArthur, and the day his notes were stolen 17:38 MacArthur up close: a lion in the pulpit, a gentleman in person 22:19 Steve Lawson's fall and his new book 25:24 Zach's honest review: "I still haven't decided if he wrote it" 27:31 Psalm 51 without the story of David and Nathan 30:14 Sin in someone else is a mirror: "Take heed to yourself" 31:01 Why the Reformed world is furious, and why Zach isn't 32:14 "Know what associates Satan has in your heart" 33:08 The people we would most dread having to tell 35:...
