Pastor Dino Rizzo, President of the Association of Related Churches (ARC), delves into the inspiring journey and leadership insights of Pastor Aaron Burke in the latest episode of UNSCRIPTED.

In a captivating episode from Season 4 of UNSCRIPTED, Pastor Dino Rizzo sits down with Pastor Aaron Burke of Radiant Church in Tampa Bay.

Pastor Aaron, who launched Radiant Church with his wife Katie in 2013, shares with Dino Rizzo their calling to bring light to a community where 87% of people do not attend church. Driven by Aaron's vision for multiplication and community impact, Radiant Church has experienced significant growth and continues to expand across Tampa Bay.

During his chat with Dino Rizzo, Pastor Aaron emphasizes the need for people to seek something larger than themselves and move beyond the conventional American Dream to embrace God’s dream for their lives. He articulates a compelling vision of stewardship and how eliminating waste can pave the way for divine blessings.

"Every time I eliminate waste, God brings blessing. My job is not to search for the blessing—my job is to search for the waste. He’s a God of stewardship, and He sees how we handle it," Aaron explains, highlighting Radiant Church's commitment to using finances to make a local and global impact.

The conversation between Aaron and Dino Rizzo covers a wide range of insightful topics, including the importance of being a local and global presence, strategies for identifying the right leaders for multi-site expansion, and the significance of financial stewardship through generosity and savings. They also discuss the Burkes' 7-7-7 rule, a principle Aaron and Katie follow to maintain a strong marriage. Finally, they discuss Aaron’s new book, The Unfair Advantage, which explores how God can turn our pain into preparation for His purposes. Aaron’s experiences underscore that while God’s use of our struggles is available, it requires our trust.

Aaron’s passion for the church and leadership is palpable while talking to Dino Rizzo. "People who are depressed about the church don’t see what we see. There’s so much good out there. There are sharp leaders, and the future is bright," he says, underscoring his commitment to raising leaders and reaching more people for Jesus.
