Join the conversation as three pastors who are recovering fundamentalists talk about life, ministry, and their journeys.
Dr. Dave Douglass is the former president of Hyles Anderson College. He joins JC, Brian, and Nate on the RFP to discuss legalism, his grace awakening, and his time serving as a student and then the president of the flagship IFB Bible College.Â
Missions has always been a focus of the Fundamentalist Movement in America. JC, Brian, and Nathan talk about missions in and out of the IFB and what it should look like according to Scripture.Â
JC, Brian, and Nate continue the conversation about Discipleship with Dr. Steve Pettit. Dr. Pettit got his M.A. in Pastoral Studies at Bob Jones University. He went on to become the President of Bob Jones University where he served from 2014 - 2023. Steve also served as the director of Northland Camp and Conference Center from 2002 to 2011. In recognition of his contributions, Bob Jones University, Northland Baptist Bible College, and Ambassador Baptist College all awarded him an honorary Doctor of Divinity degree in 1997. Dr. Pettit is passionate about Discipleship. Presently, he utilizes his gifts as a compelling communicator and expositor of Scripture with a focus on leadership. He travels as an itinerant evangelist with a gospel bluegrass musical team. Steve and his wife, Terry, have four adult children and five grandchildren.

Robby Gallaty is the pastor of Long Hollow Church in Hendersonville, Tennessee. He and his wife, Kandi, started "Replicate", a ministry with the vision to empower churches to activate their unique disciple-making movement. He is passionate about Discipleship because of the powerful change it made in his life. Robby does not have a squeaky clean background, but his story is a powerful example of the change the gospel makes in the lives of those who believe and follow Jesus.Â

What are the things about the IFB that don't reflect what the Bible says a Church is supposed to be? Brian, JC, and Nate discuss things they experienced and witnessed growing up in the IFB Movement that missed the mark of what God calls the Church to be. This will be a multiple week discussion.Â
