ReGenesis

Rolland Wright’s dad found his tools rusting in the dew, lined up both boys, and spanked them both to be sure he got the right one. Rolland was the wrong one. Years later he found Hebrews 12: Adonai disciplines the ones He loves, and if you are without discipline, you are not His. In Part 4 with Steve Anderson of Answer the Call Ministries, the two men walk the hard passages — Revelation 2 and the doctrine of Balaam, ju...

Rolland Wright saw a witchcraft magazine at eye level in a grocery checkout line and texted Steve Anderson that day. In Part 3 of A Couple of Grandpas, two grandfathers who grew up on Bewitched and The Devil Made Me Do It name what happened to their generation: desensitized. Steve opens Galatians 3 — who has bewitched you? — and Rolland takes it to the witch at Endor, where Saul consults a medium and dies in battle the ...

Rolland Wright’s brother announced years ago that he was born into the wrong family and has lived that way since. Years of prayer, and still praying. In Part 3, with Steve Anderson of Answer the Call Ministries, two grandfathers name the fracture of the family for what Scripture says it is: spiritual. Titus 2 and Proverbs on what older men owe the next generation. The 2 Timothy 3 list Rolland once found himself on. Rebellion ...

Did you receive the Ruach ha-Kodesh when you believed? Paul asked twelve disciples in Ephesus. They had never heard there was one. In this Tuesday teaching, Rolland Wright opens Acts 1:8 and makes the case from Scripture that there are two immersions, not one — the upper room, Apollos, and the twelve at Ephesus all tell the same story. Then he tells his own: immersed in water at nine, sincere for decades, until one night alon...

Rolland Wright welcomes an old friend to the studio — Steve Anderson of Answer the Call Ministries, twenty-five years in and freshly on the other side of a season of health crises. Steve tells the full testimony: a Second Chapter of Acts concert in Yakima, Annie Herring’s prophetic word from the stage, a Damascus Road on a street corner, and an immersion in a lake in a snowstorm where the lightning stopped and the sky o...

When God cursed the ground, He didn’t curse man with work — work was already his, given before the fall, and given for a reason. Rolland Wright opens the AI-and-jobs conversation with the question the loudest voices aren’t asking: what happens to the image of God in a man when the work is taken away? From 2 Thessalonians 3, he traces work through Scripture — God laboring in creation, Adam assigned to the gar...

The Great Commission comes with authority. Most of us just weren’t taught to start reading it one verse early. In this teaching, Rolland Wright opens Matthew 28 where the sending actually begins — all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Yeshua — and shows why the Ruach ha-Kodesh is the whole point of it. He walks the pattern of household salvation across Acts (the Philippian jailer, Cornelius, Crisp...

In Part 1, Rolland Wright asked whose you are. Part 2 answers with one Greek word: doulos, the term behind both "servant" and "slave" in the New Testament. Rolland walks the biblical writers who introduced themselves as bond-slaves of Messiah — James, Jude, John, Peter, Simeon, and Paul — and makes the case that to be a bond-slave is to confess you are owned by the blood of Yeshua: purchased, freed, once dead and now al...

The apostles watched Yeshua do a hundred things, and asked Him to teach them only one: how to pray. In this Ekklesia Series teaching, Rolland Wright picks up that request through the life of E.M. Bounds — the Methodist minister whose books on prayer still read as contemporary, who rose at four in the morning to pray for hours and insisted there was no power apart from that time. Rolland walks the places Scripture records Yesh...

Ask a room full of believers whether they are slaves, and watch them bristle. But in this Ekklesia Series teaching, Rolland Wright says Scripture gives an answer we would rather not hear: we are all slaves — the only question is which master we serve. Part 1 begins in John 8, where Yeshua ties true discipleship to abiding in His word, and where His hearers insist they have never been slaves (really? — how soon we forget...

Two pastors, two dictatorships, one question that outlived them both: when it costs everything to follow Yeshua, will you still stand? In this Ekklesia Series teaching, Rolland Wright reflects on Dietrich Bonhoeffer and the Confessing Church in Nazi Germany, and Richard Wurmbrand and the Underground Church under Communism — men who loved their captors and refused to bow. He sets their faithfulness beside the martyred emissari...

In the early 2000s, a double offense wounded Rolland Wright deeply and forced him to admit he had never really learned to forgive. This Ekklesia Series teaching is his honest word on the freedom on the other side of letting go. He walks the life of Joseph — pit to prison to second over Egypt — and the line that anchors it all: you meant it for evil, but God meant it for good. Scripture doesn’t wait for an apology;...

Brian Handy was so terrified of public speaking that he swore it off for good until he met Yeshua and couldn’t stop telling people. In the first episode of a new ReGenesis segment, Taking It 2 The Streets, Rolland Wright sits down with a street evangelist who takes the gospel where most believers never would: the Tenderloin, Houston’s bars, homeless shelters, and the trains. Brian tells of being pulled into a car and wa...

Rolland Wright calls this one a personal word, not just a teaching. Born once into a family we did not choose, Yeshua said we can be born again into a forever family. In this Ekklesia Series teaching, Rolland walks the difference between teaching and discipleship, the new life Adonai introduced at Pentecost, and the honest reality of rebellion and reconciliation in our own homes — including the ache of a disenfranchised son a...

The first employee Gary McReynolds ever hired, he met at an altar call in a county jail — a former bank executive everyone had written off. Today that man owns his own business.

In Part 2, Gary turns from his story to yours, and the message is three words: stop stepping over people. The veterinarian who lost everything. The meth cook now serving as a minister. The mother bonded out of jail whose daughter just turned three. Ga...

At nine, Gary McReynolds earned his first dollar on a paper route and told his mother he’d give a million away. Eighteen years into Regenesis Recovery Center, more than three million a year now moves through his ministry to the people most of the city steps over. In Part 1, Rolland Wright traces the whole arc — steel-country Ohio, the Jesus Movement, and the teenage question that shaped everything: how do you fund a gos...

Adonai has spoken audibly to human ears only a handful of times in Scripture. One of those times was on the Mount of Transfiguration. The message was five words. This is My beloved Son. Then three more. Listen to Him. Host Rolland Wright asks the question the modern church has largely stopped asking. Are we? In this Tuesday solo teaching, Rolland walks Matthew 17 and the specific instructions Yeshua gave that get quoted often but o...

Watch a room of toddlers with a pile of toys. There is always the one toy. And whoever has it says the same word every child in every language eventually learns. Mine. Host Rolland Wright says most of us never grew out of it. And Acts 2 shows us what a community actually looks like when they finally do. In this teaching, Rolland walks Acts 2:42–47 line by line and asks the honest question: how much of the toddler instinct is ...

You have left the faith. There is a conversation many believers walking out of institutional church have had, and most of them have not known how to answer. In this episode, host Rolland Wright continues the fresh conversation with Pastor Tim Kurtz, author of Leaving Church, Becoming Ekklesia. Tim opens with a personal story about his mother that he has since repented of. He walks his Boots on the Ground initiative — a system...
