Josh shares his early story of coming to faith, his call to ministry at a young age, and the church-planting work that shaped his vision for holistic community transformation. Out of those experiences, he stepped into the tech world—developing tools that leverage AI to free up pastors for what matters most: people and discipleship.

If you’ve ever wondered how technology could multiply your ministry impact, this conversation will open your eyes.

In the final part of their conversation, Ralph Moore and Ryan Delamater reflect on the lessons Ryan has learned through the growth of OCNWTR. Ryan shares how the movement continues to multiply through micro-churches connected to clean water projects, and why generosity, empowerment, and faith-filled risk are central to sustaining it.

They dive into practical insights on developing young leaders, building trust in cross-cultural contexts, and keeping ministry simple enough to reproduce. Ryan also offers encouragement for planters who feel under-resourced, showing how starting small and giving ministry away can unleash exponential impact.

This closing episode ties together the themes of the series, like innovation, suffering, multiplication, and faith, into a hopeful vision for the future of church planting in unlikely places.

In Part 3 of this series, Ryan Delamater continues unpacking the journey of OCNWTR and the lessons he’s learned about leadership, multiplication, and calling. Ryan reflects on how his own limitations and personal battles with depression shaped his approach to ministry — teaching him that weakness can be a platform for God’s power.

Ralph and Ryan discuss the tension between Western models of church growth and the organic, decentralized approach that fuels movements. They also explore the role of suffering in shaping leaders, the need for authenticity over image, and why creating margin in life and ministry is critical for long-term faithfulness.

This episode is a candid look at the hidden struggles of church planters, the refining work of God through hardship, and the surprising ways brokenness can become the seedbed for multiplication .

In Part 2 of Ralph’s conversation with Ryan Delamater, founder of OCNWTR, the story moves from personal calling to multiplication. Ryan shares how God brought unexpected partners into his life — from a world-class jiu-jitsu champion in San Clemente to young leaders in El Salvador, Germany, Sweden, and Argentina.

What began as a Bible study in a jiu-jitsu studio grew into Grapple Chapel, a movement of discipleship communities spreading across continents. Along the way, Ryan and his team pioneered creative water projects, combining boat desalination systems with solar power, even catching the attention of MIT’s Water Summit.

This episode highlights how scarcity can fuel innovation, how giving away leadership multiplies impact, and how God can use unconventional spaces — coffee shops, gyms, and even grappling mats — to plant churches and change lives.

In this episode, Ralph sits down with longtime friend Ryan Delamater, founder of OCNWTR. Ryan shares the remarkable story of how a cross-continental bike ride, a painful season of personal loss, and a growing awareness of the global water crisis led him to combine church planting with water projects.

From humble beginnings in San Clemente to launching churches across Latin America, Ryan recounts how God has used ordinary people, limited resources, and simple obedience to multiply more than 100 micro-churches around the world. Ralph and Ryan also reflect on lessons learned from Saddleback, the importance of self-awareness in leadership, and why “excellence” in the Kingdom is more about faithfulness than perfection.

If you’ve ever wondered how God can take brokenness and turn it into a multiplying movement, this conversation will encourage you to step out in faith and watch Him provide.

In the conclusion of this three-part conversation, Ralph and John look ahead. What started as a church plant in Waimanalo is quickly becoming a statewide movement. John shares his passion for equipping local leaders, planting new churches, and creating space for authentic encounters with God in places like Kewalo Basin. From prophetic moments to financial faith, this episode captures the heart behind the house—why it matters, where it’s going, and how people across the islands are being drawn into something fresh, Spirit-led, and deeply rooted in love for Hawaii.

In Part 2 of this compelling conversation, Ralph Moore continues his dialogue with John Termini, pastor of The House Established in Waimanalo. This episode digs into the importance of permanence, presence, and place—how buying a home, loving a neighborhood, and honoring the land itself has shaped John’s approach to church planting in Hawaii. John also unpacks the vision behind their “rooms,” a deeply relational model of small groups rooted in shared meals and authentic discipleship. It’s a beautiful look at how sustainable ministry grows when leaders serve humbly, stay planted, and embrace both local culture and kingdom rhythms.

In this first installment of a three-part conversation, Ralph sits down with John Termini, founding pastor of The House Established in Waimanalo, Hawaii. John shares his unlikely journey from New York’s commercial real estate world and Hillsong NYC to planting a thriving church in one of Oahu’s most local communities. With heartfelt honesty and unexpected connections (including Ralph’s early discipleship of John’s in-laws), this episode explores the risk, obedience, and supernatural provision that marked the early days of The House. It’s a powerful story of how God calls, equips, and builds His Church in the most surprising ways.
