Rick Fry in Real Time

Episode 1: Do we expect government to do something it was never designed to do?

In this episode Rick unwraps how God’s desire is to communicate and have relationship with us, which has been His plan from Genesis to now.

Episode 2: If this present era is called “the dispensation of grace,” does that imply that people before this age experienced God differently? Was grace operating differently before the cross and resurrection?

Episode 1: When people use the word “grace,” are they always talking about the same thing? How does grace as God’s character differ from “the dispensation of grace” as a theological system?

Episode 3: Rick and Dan discuss why it’s dangerous to turn spiritual gifts into status symbols, measurements of spirituality, or proof of worth. And how the function of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers is to build up the body rather than control it.

Episode 2 : Dan talks about the significance of Jesus descending into death and then ascending “far above all heavens” and what that reveals about His authority and sufficiency.

Episode 1: Rick and Dan discuss that Paul did not present gifts as badges of spiritual achievement, but as expressions of Christ’s life flowing through people who are already accepted. We can move from pressure to participation.

For years, I had interpreted my struggles through the lens of failure, weakness, and inadequacy. But grace confronted those beliefs head-on. Lori joins Rick as he shares a personal story.

Episode 2: Steve unpacks this question: if apostles were foundational and tied to the beginning of the church, how should that shape the way we think about spiritual authority today?

Episode 1: Rick and Steve discuss Paul saying that we’re to “walk worthy” by preserving unity. Is unity already being something we  have , and not something we  create ?

Episode 3 – Larry and Rick talk about how the Bible teaches that union with Christ comes through faith, and not something everyone automatically has. How can we understand those passages that sound like Jesus has reconciled or included all people?

Episode 2 – Larry describes the Gospel not as many different messages, but one truth expressed in many ways.

Episode 1- Rick and Larry talk about how Jesus is not only the giver of grace and peace, but He is our grace and peace.

Episode 3 – Mike talks about the difference between the old and new covenants and why it’s important. 

Episode 2 – Rick and Mike discuss the difference between righteous anger and judgementalism, or if there is any difference.

Episode 1- Rick and Mike talk about how the Grace Message can put us at odds with mainstream denominations.

Episode 3: Daniel discusses how the death of his father woke him up to the responsibilities of being a father himself, and a husband and man of God.

Episode 2: Rick and Daniel talk about how Daniel went from being a snowboard junkie to journalistic storytelling.

Episode 3. Rick and D’Andre talk about the price of standing for what you believe and are called to. Despite variations in theology or politics, all believers share Jesus as their foundation.

Episode 2. Rick and D’Andre discuss the history of Black Liberation Theology. We share faith in Jesus, regardless of theological differences.

Episode 1: Rev. Foster is the author of “The Code – A Devotional for Cultivating Light, Love, and Liberation.” Rick and D’Andre talk about his journey to becoming a preacher of the gospel and how he was inspired to write his book.

Episode 2: The importance of a “radical call to grace” and how Gospel Zero serves as a bridge connecting the timeless truth of the gospel from the birth of the church to today. (originally aired May 2025)

Episode 1: Gospel Zero is a collaborative work by Andrew Farley and John Lynch. The creative genius of these two writers has given us an interpretive glimpse of what modern day letters apostles might write to today’s church. Does God’s grace need to be balanced? Is there a place for “spiritual disciplines?” (originally aired May 2025)

Episode 3: On this journey to get where we are now there are things we need to protect. Rick and Kyle talks about what this means.
