Anatomy of the Church and State

Episode 38 With Pastor Steven Whitlow

Pastor Steven Whitlow joins the show to delve into the concept of post-denominationalism and its significance in fostering church unity to save America. He sheds light on the unintended repercussions of the seeker/mega church model, which include the church being treated as a product, the downplaying of doctrinal matters, and the transformation of the church into a mere social club. To counter these negative effects, Pastor Whitlow presents us with a four-step post-denominational approach:

  1. Embrace simplicity
  2. Unify around core doctrine
  3. Preach clear Biblical truth
  4. Choose big impact over big church


Pastor Steven is the founding and lead pastor of Redemption Church, a post-denominational church in Monclova, Ohio. He is also the founder and president of Revere Bible College, established in 2023. In addition to ministry, He owns and operates multiple franchises including Urban Air, Snapology, and Revitalize Fitness.
