The Daron Earlewine Podcast
Kelly Camp grew up a pastor's kid, spent over three decades running from God, and torched a 22-year marriage along the way. In this episode of The Daron Earlewine Podcast, Kelly shares how deep hurt, isolation and addiction nearly wrecked his life, how a hungover Sunday morning in 2015 became the turning point, and how he now runs the day-to-day staff and operations of the very kind of church he once refused to walk into. KEY TAKEAWAYS ⚡️ Anger is almost always a secondary emotion. Underneath years of resentment toward God, Kelly discovered the real feeling was deep hurt and betrayal, not...

Most people who get curious about Jesus never take the next step, because the next step they're offered doesn't fit their life. Working 80 hours a week, hundreds of miles from home, living in a camper on a job site. Sunday morning is not on the table. Matt LeRoy joins Daron Earlewine to walk through Follow Jesus, a 50 day journey through the Gospel of Matthew built for exactly those people. Ten to fifteen minutes a day. A commute or a cup of coffee. Prayer, Scripture, reflection, prayer, response. The result is a discipleship path that doesn't require a building, a background, or a seminary...

Most people who are curious about Jesus never start, because they do not know where to begin. Genesis? A random verse? A church they do not know in a town they are only in for six weeks? Matt LeRoy spent ten years building the answer. Follow Jesus is a 50 day walk through the Gospel of Matthew that takes 10 to 15 minutes a day. A commute. A cup of coffee. In this conversation, Daron Earlewine and Matt LeRoy break down the discipleship arc hiding in plain sight in Matthew, why Jesus found His first disciples at work instead of at worship, and what it looks like to plant orchards of discipleship...

Most of us are chasing a version of success nobody actually defined for us. Bigger platform, bigger title, bigger numbers. And when we get there, it still feels hollow. In this clip, Ken Primeau, lead pastor of Mercy Road Northeast, offers a definition that reorders everything. Success is becoming who God created you to be, then partnering with him to do what he is calling you to do. He traces it through a chain of small yeses, a plane landing in Indianapolis, two words he never expected to hear, and a wandering desert people who only moved when the cloud moved. If home has always felt hard to...

A stranger emailed Wayne Jacobson with a claim that sounded like nonsense. The word righteousness is not really in the Bible. It turned out to be a translation problem 500 years in the making. In this clip, Wayne walks through how one Greek word came to be translated righteousness in our Bibles when it is translated justice everywhere else, and what changes when you put it back. KEY TAKEAWAYS ⚡️ The Greek word behind righteousness is translated justice in every other text of its day, including Plato's Republic. ⚡️ Reading it as justice instead of righteousness reframes nearly every...

John the Baptist baptized Jesus. He was Jesus' cousin. He was called the greatest man born of a woman. And he still ended up in prison asking, "Are you really the one, or should we wait for someone else?" In this clip from Episode 207 of The Daron Earlewine Podcast, Daron walks through the emotional weight of John's prison crisis and what Jesus' surprising response reveals about faith when your circumstances don't match your expectations. KEY TAKEAWAYS ⚡️ Even the strongest believers wrestle with doubt when God doesn't show up the way they expected ⚡️ Jesus didn't rescue John from...

What if the way you were taught to share your faith is actually the reason people keep pulling away? In this clip from The Daron Earlewine Podcast, Daron breaks down a model he calls "attack and extract" — find someone who doesn't know Jesus, challenge everything about them, and if they accept, pull them out of their old life into your camp. It sounds bold. It feels righteous. And it is almost never how Jesus operated. Daron walks through why this model does real damage, what nearly happened to U2 early in their career because of it, and what the actual alternative looks like — building a...

When life hits hard, most of us either crumble or, at best, claw our way back to where we were before. Daron Earlewine wants something better for you. In this Summer of Sermons message from Mercy Road Northeast in Indianapolis, he opens Hebrews 11 and 12 to unpack what it means to build an anti-fragile faith, the kind where pain doesn't break you, it reveals you and grows you. He names the three lies the enemy whispers when you're under pressure, the difference between lament and complaint, and why your identity has to be the foundation before any of it makes sense. KEY TAKAWAYS ⚡️ Fragile...

We treat sin the way Daron treated a herniated disc, by icing the symptoms and hoping the real problem goes away on its own. It doesn't. It grows, it hurts people, and it slowly stops breaking our hearts at all. In this Summer of Sermons message from Mercy Road Northeast in Indianapolis, Daron Earlewine opens 1 Corinthians 5 to talk honestly about church hurt, the danger of treating grace like a credit card you keep charging, and why the people who love us most are the ones willing to call us up instead of just calling us out. KEY TAKEAWAYS ⚡️ Real healing deals with what's broken inside,...
info_outlineWhat if a single mistranslated word quietly bent the way the church has understood the gospel for 500 years? Most of us were handed a faith built on personal piety, sin management, and a ticket out of hell, and then left wondering what to actually do on Monday.
In this conversation, author and former pastor Wayne Jacobsen sits down with Daron Earlewine to unpack his new book Just Love and the claim at the center of it: the Greek word we translate "righteousness" was translated "justice" everywhere else. Daron and Wayne explore what changes when love, not performance, becomes the source of transformation, and how living loved produces real justice toward the people around you.
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
⚡️ How one Greek word came to be translated "righteousness" instead of "justice," and why that single shift reframes nearly every verse where the word appears.
⚡️ Why salvation was never meant to be amnesty for personal sin, but a doorway into the Father's love that changes you from the inside out.
⚡️ How being filled with God's love makes you a giver of life instead of a seeker of it, so justice becomes fruit rather than religious work.
