  • Finding Jesus Beyond Tradition: Ross Stackhouse's Unique Spiritual Quest
    2024/11/30

    HeavenEarth Podcast – Pastor Ross Stackhouse's Story”

    In the inaugural episode of the “HeavenEarth Church Podcast” host Dr. Brad Miller sits down with Pastor Ross Stackhouse to explore his remarkable spiritual journey and the founding of Heaven Earth Church in Whiteland, Indiana. Ross Stackhouse, with his compelling narrative, sheds light on the powerful experiences and transformative moments that have shaped his life and ministry.

    Takeaway 1: A Deep Spiritual Calling

    Ross Stackhouse's spiritual journey began with a profound and transformative calling to dedicate his life to Jesus, inspired by John 15. Struggling to balance his academic ambitions and faith, Ross's path was marked by a tension between worldly achievements and spiritual fulfillment. This internal conflict set the stage for a journey of self-discovery and deepened faith.

    Takeaway 2: From Academia to Ministry

    Initially, Ross pursued a master's degree in New Testament studies at Vanderbilt University, aspiring to become a renowned scholar. His dream was to appear in National Geographic specials, showcasing a scholarly pursuit of Christian teachings. However, life had different plans. Following a series of manual labor jobs and a profound experience in therapy that helped address childhood trauma and reliance on achievements, Ross found his calling redirected toward ministry. His sister's spontaneous decision to send his resume to local churches led to an unexpected invitation from Saint Mark's in Carmel, Indiana, where his ministry journey truly began.

    Takeaway 3: Overcoming Religious Trauma

    Throughout his youth, Ross experienced religious trauma and often felt like an outsider in several religious settings. From the Church of Christ camp to Southern Baptist Bible studies, Ross grappled with feelings of hopelessness and rejection. His spiritual journey included a transformative understanding of Jesus, shifting from early depictions of a tyrannical figure to a vibrant, life-giving presence that transcends organized religion. This new perspective laid the foundation for the creation of Heaven Earth Church, aimed at welcoming those disillusioned by traditional religious institutions.

    Takeaway 4: Founding and Growing Heaven Earth Church

    Ross’s ministry led to the formation of Heaven Earth Church in Whiteland, Indiana. He, alongside his friend Justin Vance, launched the Emerging Ministries initiative, creating "The Current," a service designed to merge contemporary and traditional worship styles to engage younger and "de-churched" or "unchurched" individuals. The success of their efforts is evident through meaningful community impact and personal transformations within the church.

    Takeaway 5: Personal and Community Transformation

    Ross’s story is one of resilience, transformation, and affirmation. Moments like his audition sermon using two ladders as a metaphor marked a spiritual awakening, affirming his calling and energizing his pastoral journey. His experiences underline the importance of vulnerability, authenticity, and relationship-building in faith-based outreach, which have been pivotal in forming a nurturing community at Heaven Earth Church.
