What shapes a ministry leader with a passion for both the local church and the nations? In this episode of afterWord, Pastor Kent Dresdow sits down with Executive Pastor Matt Rehrer and special guest Andrew Rogers to trace Andrew’s journey of faith and ministry.

From his early years in central California, to coming to Christ as a teenager, to discovering a love for discipleship and biblical counseling, Andrew shares how the Lord redirected his path from corporate law to pastoral ministry. Along the way, he recounts how godly mentors, exposure to expository preaching, and experiences in both local and overseas ministry deepened his conviction in the sufficiency of Scripture for life and godliness.

Now serving as the Executive Director of Biblical Counseling Ministries Worldwide (BCMW), Andrew explains the background that shaped his burden for the global church—asking the pivotal question, “Who’s training them?” His story highlights how God faithfully prepares servants for the unique callings He entrusts to them.

This is part one of a two-part conversation that will help you see God’s hand in equipping leaders and expand your vision for how biblical counseling strengthens churches around the world.
