Brian Handy was so terrified of public speaking that he swore it off for good until he met Yeshua and couldn’t stop telling people. In the first episode of a new ReGenesis segment, Taking It 2 The Streets, Rolland Wright sits down with a street evangelist who takes the gospel where most believers never would: the Tenderloin, Houston’s bars, homeless shelters, and the trains. Brian tells of being pulled into a car and warned to stop preaching — and being back the next week — and traces his training under Larry Rosenbaum’s SOS San Francisco and Ray Comfort’s Way of the Master. Sixteen years in, he still funds the tracts and Bibles himself and prays for one thing above all: boldness, and more laborers for the harvest.

Rolland Wright calls this one a personal word, not just a teaching. Born once into a family we did not choose, Yeshua said we can be born again into a forever family. In this Ekklesia Series teaching, Rolland walks the difference between teaching and discipleship, the new life Adonai introduced at Pentecost, and the honest reality of rebellion and reconciliation in our own homes — including the ache of a disenfranchised son and his own prodigal road back to his father. Faith, he says, is still a personal choice, the one he calls our real bar mitzvah. He closes on why he wrote Choose Life for his own children, the danger of living on the wrong end of the spoon, and an invitation to pray for every prodigal still on the road home.

YOU’LL HEAR

● Why the Great Commission is “make disciples,” not “teach” — and why the difference matters

● How Yeshua discipled by demonstration, then sent the emissaries to do the same

● What “new” really means — and the new family Adonai introduced at Pentecost

● Born once into a bloodline, born again into a forever family

● The bar mitzvah as a picture of the personal choice every believer has to make

● Rebellion named for what Scripture calls it — and why it runs through families in the last days

● Rolland’s own story: the disenfranchisement of a son, and his own prodigal road home

● The prodigal son in Luke 15 — and the father who did not beg him to stay

● Why faith is still a personal choice, with no guarantee for our children

● Choose Life, written for his own kids, and “the wrong end of the spoon”

● Sitting at the feet of the Ruach ha-Kodesh as your true mentor

● Luke 8:21 and the forever family — plus a prayer initiative for every prodigal

SCRIPTURE REFERENCEDMatthew 28:19 (make disciples of all nations), John 3 (you must be born again), Luke 15:11–32 (the prodigal son), 2 Timothy 3 (a form of godliness denying its power), Matthew 16:15–16 (who do you say that I am?), Luke 8:21 (My mother and My brothers), 1 Samuel 15:23 (rebellion as the sin of witchcraft)

The first employee Gary McReynolds ever hired, he met at an altar call in a county jail — a former bank executive everyone had written off. Today that man owns his own business.

In Part 2, Gary turns from his story to yours, and the message is three words: stop stepping over people. The veterinarian who lost everything. The meth cook now serving as a minister. The mother bonded out of jail whose daughter just turned three. Gary breaks down what actually works — discipleship over recovery talk — why the nine-month program is free by design, and how Market Street Coffee funds it all. Then he opens the door: come for a week, get in the trenches, and build it where you live. You’re one person away.

YOU’LL HEAR

● “I’d like to join you — how much does it pay?” and the real cost of building something that lasts

● The jail-cell salvation that became his first hire — a Wells Fargo executive turned prodigal

● The veterinarian, and learning to see the person God is highlighting in the room

● Thousands through a nine-month residential program — from bank robbers to a girl with three DUIs in a week

● The young woman who’d never been inside a church, and where she’d ended up by 19

● The real numbers: 50% who finish, 80% who stay connected to the body

● Why it’s free by design — no Medicaid, no crisis-bed dollars, income they create themselves

● James, cooking meth in a bathtub two years ago and now serving as an associate minister

● Predestined — seeing people the way God made them, not the way sin left them

● Inside the nine months: 5:30 wake-ups, Proverbs, chores, and Phase Two

● Why 85% of the staff came up through the program

● Mission trips around the world vs. the motel across the railroad tracks

● Market Street Coffee — the $7 cup that bridges two demographics and funds Hannah’s Home

● You’re one person away — the open invitation to come learn the model and build it yourself

SCRIPTURE REFERENCEDLuke 10:25–37 (the Good Samaritan — the man already in the inn), Matthew 9:37–38 (the harvest is plentiful, the workers few), John 4:35 (lift up your eyes — the fields are white), Romans 8:29–30 (foreknown and predestined)
