Pastor Rob McCoy joins the show for a journey through the dynamic landscape where faith and governance converge. In this eye-opening episode, Pastor Rob unpacks the verdict on Trump, and explains how civic participation breeds better pastors AND parishioners.

With a blend of personal anecdotes and deep wisdom, he sheds light on the pivotal role of Christians in the political arena and underscores the criticality of grasping the Constitution’s nuances. This isn’t just talk; it’s a clarion call for Christians to make their mark in the civic sphere.

Pastor Rob graduated from California State University Fresno with a B.A. in History and received his seminary training from The Mennonite Brethren Biblical Seminary in Fresno. For the last 17 years he has served as the senior Pastor at Godspeak Calvary Chapel of Thousand Oaks California, a town in which he was also the former Mayor.
