Today on the No Regrets Podcast, Nate Gruber talks with Pastor A. R. Bernard, Founder and Pastor of Christian Cultural Center, one of the largest and most influential churches in the United States. Pastor Bernard shares his remarkable story—from being raised by a single mother who immigrated to the U.S., to finding Christ while working in the world of finance, and eventually stepping out of a successful banking career into full-time ministry.

Together, Nate and Pastor Bernard explore what it truly means to surrender to God and follow His calling. They talk about engaging—not avoiding—the culture we live in, recognizing that God works through real-world events and real people.

They discuss what it means to seek the Kingdom of God in everyday life, our responsibility as Christians in the world, and the transforming power of God's grace at work within us. Pastor Bernard also shares powerful insights on spiritual maturity—reminding us that maturity doesn't come with age, but through the responsibility we take for our actions and choices.

He highlights the importance of having clear principles and values that govern decision-making and create healthy boundaries. The conversation also touches on one of the great challenges men face today: isolation, and how spiritual maturity calls us out of it.

This is a rich conversation on calling, character, and living faithfully in the world God has placed us in.
