Clock into YOUR Calling

🍻⛪ CHURCH… IN A BAR?!

In this episode, Pastor Ben Ragsdale shares how God radically changed his life at 15 and led him into over two decades of ministry, eventually becoming the Lead Pastor of Worship on the Water and Chief Pastoral Officer at Island Entertainment.

We talk about:
⛪ Why church was never meant to be just a building
🍻 How Worship on the Water meets in an unconventional environment—with a bar open during church
🌊 The opportunities that come from bringing church into unexpected places
🗣️ Why creating safe spaces allows people to bring their real struggles
👂 How slowing down and truly listening can open doors for Jesus
🙏 How Jesus transformed Ben's life after growing up without a consistent father figure
🔥 Why our faith shouldn't stop when Sunday ends

This conversation is a reminder that the church isn't a building—it's a people. Wherever God has placed you, that's a place where your faith can be lived out.

🎙️ Guest: Pastor Ben Ragsdale — Lead Pastor, Worship on the Water | Chief Pastoral Officer, Island Entertainment

Our goal is to empower you to take faithful steps right where God has placed you.
