The Faith of the Father(s) w/ Karl Gessler
The Faith of the Father (s) is a podcast devoted to proclaiming and demonstrating the reality of Jesus Christ—risen from the dead and actively at work today, healing the sick and casting out demons just as He did in the Scriptures.
Rooted in the careful study of the Bible and the witness of the Church throughout history, this podcast seeks to learn from the faith of the fathers—from the earliest believers to faithful witnesses in the present day. We hold that the ministry of Jesus did not end in the Gospels, but continues through men and women indwelt by the Holy Spirit and obedient to His voice.
Hosted by Karl Gessler, The Faith of the Fathers features candid conversations with those who have walked out of deep trauma, abuse, and bondage and have found real healing in Jesus. It also includes interviews with believers who have witnessed and participated in profound works of God—miracles of healing, deliverance, salvation, and even the raising of the dead—through courageous and faithful obedience to Christ.
At its core, this podcast affirms a simple conviction: God intends to govern the world through human beings filled with His Spirit, living in truth, authority, and love. By returning to Scripture and the lived faith of the Church, The Faith of the Fathers invites listeners to know Jesus not as a distant figure of the past, but as the living Lord who continues His work today.

Stop Burning Down Your House: Exposure Culture and Church Leadership
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of The Faith of the Fathers, Karl Gessler discusses church leadership, church scandal, and the growing “exposure culture” within modern Christianity. Drawing from recent controversies surrounding ministries like Bethel Church and leaders such as Bill Johnson, Karl examines the increasing tendency of believers to tear down entire ministries and permanently disqualify pastors when failures or controversies arise.
While accountability and truth matter deeply in the church, a culture of constant exposure and condemnation can become destructive. Many Christians are quick to attack leaders, ministries, and movements without realizing they may be cutting off the very branch they are sitting on.
Karl explores the dangers of modern exposure culture, the rise of deconstruction among Millennials, and the spiritual damage that occurs when criticism replaces humility, mercy, and restoration.
The power of the Gospel is grace, not exposure. Exposure may stop the immediate evil of a perpetrator, but grace is what brings true healing and restoration.
The Gospel does more than expose sin — it restores the broken, heals the wounded, and calls sinners to repentance. If the church is going to experience true revival, it must learn to hold leaders accountable without abandoning mercy and grace.
