Introduction

0:25
Steve talks about his typical kind of interview, and how this
show is different. He says he is going to be the interviewee this
time, being interviewed in two parts by Ricky Maldonado of River
City Church New Braunfels.

1:20
Ricky comes on the mic and introduces his podcast, River City
Church Talks, and introduces Steve, who encourages Ricky. The
podcast vision is to get a look behind the scenes at the church.
Ricky talks about Peanut Butter Bowl and Steve thanks him for his
help with Very Bold Ministries, and acclaims Ricky’s skills that
also helped him when he was the youth pastor. They discuss the
joys and challenges of working together.

5:30
Steve talks about Super Powers, the behind-the-scenes show Steve
was wanting to get produced, and how Lead Pastor Jason Powers has
comedic rants that would be well-documented by the kind of people
who created Duck Dynasty.

6:20
Ricky brings up Steve’s recent sermon Being God’s Masterpiece
using his favorite verse in Ephesians (2:10). Ricky used to be in
a youth group called Masterpiece. The root of it was that same
verse.

7:49
Ricky shares about Steve going into the story of Moses, which
Ricky begins to brief the audience on in discussion with
Steve.

9:44
Steve talks about how Moses was a defender of justice, and about
how his biggest mistake, killing the slavemaster, didn’t
disqualify him for the important work God had for him. Steve
highlights the comedic elements of how Moses recorded the
story.

11:20
Ricky discusses how the people of Israel were crying out, looking
for God, and how it would be easy to be cynical. But, God was
listening, and He answered them in His own timing. Steve talks
about how God uses all of our pain and misery for a purpose, and
says we have to always look and see where God is at work.

12:36
Ricky brings up in Exodus 3:7 how God heard the groaning of his
people. God remembered the covenant. Steve points out: God knew.
God is too loving to stay on the surface, and is invested in a
real relationship with us. They discuss how we often take God for
granted, and how God chooses the best timing for things to
happen, allowing us to grow.

16:08
Steve says his heart goes out to audience members who are
hurting. He wants them to know that God sees them and hears them
and remembers them, and God knows the pain they are going
through, and for them to have faith that God is going to use that
for their good and the good of others.

16:40
Ricky shares that later in the story Moses has run away and has
married a shepherdess, and how Satan thinks Moses’ story is over.
He reminds Steve of talking about how Satan sometimes uses
something we are good at and twists it to cause us to stumble,
and they discuss how that played out for Moses. But, God is
always ahead of Satan and thinking bigger.

18:36
Ricky says his favorite part of the story is when Moses comes
across the burning bush, and how God reminds Moses of who He is.
Steve points back to the comedic elements of this part of the
story, and how Moses argues with God.

20:45
Steve shares that he loves that you can see in the story that God
wants to reveal who he is, to him and to the rest of the world.
Ricky mentions that you just never know when God is going to show
up, and that we have to be ready.

22:50
Steve shares that he has dealt with in the last year not feeling
comfortable with what God called him to do with scrapping. Like
Moses, he heard the holy spirit say, “Who gave man his tongue?”
He feels like a lot of his ministry life he has been comfortable
with, but this year has been a new chapter. God has had to remind
Steve that He will equip him. He and Ricky discuss scrapping:
rapping scriptures, and how that has come about.

25:10
Steve closes out part 1 of his interview with Ricky and previews
that part 2 will air next Saturday, and wraps the episode.
