In 2021, Saddleback founding pastor, Rick Warren, announced he was retiring as senior pastor to embrace a new role. In this wide-ranging interview, Rick talks about how to leave a legacy of integrity, why so many megachurch pastors fail, what he told Bill Hybels, and lessons learned over 42 years at Saddleback. This episode includes bonus footage of Rick Warren's private library.

Ok ... you need to re-title this episode as a "Masterclass on Pastoring". Great stuff! Thanks to Carey and to Rick for sharing all of this with us.
Yeap!!!
Agreed! So much gold in this interview.
Rick Warren has worked with Francis Collins who helped cover up the fact that the virus leaked from a Communist Chinese lab.
Pfffft. Hmmmmph
Suppose he's killed a few buffets?
The level of pride and covetousness Rick Warren displays in just the first few minutes is astounding. He should take heed to 1 John 2:15-17 “Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world. The world is passing away, and [also] its lusts; but the one who does the will of God lives forever.”
“You will attract what you are!” Simple but a powerful statement.
@@TheRealRenn can you define false teacher as described from the Bible? I want to know your view.
“I never learned anything through pleasure. Everything I have learned has come through pain.” - Rick Warren
This might be the best interview of Rick Warren on the internet. Every pastor and leader should watch.
100%
Wow!!! There are so many gems in this interview! Thank you so much Carey and Rick. I pray that you will both finish well all the way 🙏
Unfortunately, Rick Warren promotes a FALSE GOSPEL!!!!
The MOST IMPORTANT question of our lifes is: Where do we go, after death? Well, there are only two outcomes, HEAVEN OR HELL!!!
This is the Gospel of the JESUS CHRIST:
Jesus died for our sins, was buried and rose again on the third day. He shed His blood on the cross for you. Your part is to Repent of your sins and Trust in Him. BUT, you MUST Trust in the Jesus of the Bible!! You MUST BELIEVE THE TRUE GOSPEL OF JESUS!!! Because, IF you don`t, you will be cast in the LAKE OF FIRE, for ALL ETERNITY!!! Repent of ALL your sins and Trust in the RIGHT Jesus today and God will save you. He will grant you eternal life, not because you earned it, deserve it or because you are a good person, but because He wants to give you eternal life as a FREE GIFT!!! THIS IS THE TRUTH!!! The Bible says that God will make you BORN AGAIN. He will give you a New Heart and New Desires. Accept it today!!! Tomorrow maybe too late!!
"Jesus answered him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me." (John 14:6)
Love this interview! Wow!!! Such wisdom!!! Love Ricks transparency and stories!!! Such encouragement!!!
THANK you. This morning for the beautiful awesome library. Reminds me of a favorite fictional character's library, James Perlmutter. But you are real! My hero.
This is incredible!
Now that is a library I aspire to develop. Thank you for creating this gentlemen!
That is awesome 🎉Rick .... Library..
I need to see the long version of the library tour. Such a great interview!

I was thinking that 2! How cool wud that b if we could get a chance to tour his library. I'd need a week!
Thank you for this one Ptr Carey and Ptr Rick! So much depth and pure wisdom in one episode. God bless you both abundantly!

This is perhaps the most valuable piece of content my phone has seen in a long time. Thank you for this. You’ve got a new subscriber.
Thank you so much, Pastor Mike!
about 10 years ago I sort of started a movement in New Zealand called "facethebook" with exactly the same motto Rick just used at about 43 minutes of the conversation. WOW.
Well, I've met you Carey personally, that was one of my bucket list items, I told you that when we had our little chat in church. Rick (along with Andy and Craig) are the next in line. If I get to sit in that library I'll say like Simeon: "Take me for I have seen your glory"hahahahhaha. Great talk Carey. Well done!
Thank you Carey for the interview. Loved the opening into the library and to see Rick's passion for Christian history. Learned a ton from the time.
Such gold. Cried twice, wept once. Beautiful. Thank you Rick for your life-long example!
Example of preaching a false gospel of easy believism while he twists God's word out of context? smh
Full of wisdom. Thank you for this interview.

@@doctrinalwatchdogactive6454 is this the right and appropriate forum to raise those issues? Afterall he has already said that he does not respond to what is on socio-media so I think its a bullets wasted sir
@@MegaJonathan1969 oh no, this is the forum, and we have channels with millions of views that call out these false teachers who are in bed with the government.
I’ve already listened to this 5 times!!! So much wisdom. Wow
So much Godly wisdom, on so many significant topics, packed into this incredible podcast. I have been enormously challenged and encouraged. Thank you!

So glad for you two and Pastor Rick sharing your life and ministry experience with us. Very inspirational!

There's a clown in the pulpit he's on the walk..walk... filled with deceit, judgment , false talk.....
Preachin' shame n vice be the disease...
Before I pray for you...your wallet please. Pastor Rick?????pffffffft
I love Rick Warren. He means so much to me and has had such an impact on me and my ministry. Thank you Rick
Yikes, Warren totally twists God's word out of context.
Me2🙏❤️
What an amazing interview. Thanks
Outstanding interview. Rick Warren has influenced many churches and saved millions of people. 💕
Love God with all your heart soul body and actions --- Rick calls this worship and only discusses the church service. But what it's saying is your whole relationship with God is worship.
Thank you Carey for this interview as well. GOD bless you
It's wonderful listening to the life attitudes of Pastor Rick Warren. Thanks for the interview. Regards
Good grief. I can't stomach this
Thank you so much Dear brothers and sisters those who work with this channel🙏🏻👍🏻
wow!!!
Great
A very great interview. Thanks you both!
Thank you for the wonderful stories.
So helpful. I love Rick's perspective.
Love the library! 😍
Thanks for this great interview! God bless you and Ptr. Rick Warren!
“Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, as those sent from God.” - 2 Corinthians 2:17
Top drawer Carey, Wow! Really learnt so much, I may have to listen to it again, ...and again!!
My mother is a small town pastor in Nagaland India who doesn't have proper education so am translating this awesome podcast lessons for her. I love and respect Pastor Rick so much and I thank God for using him to bless me and so many people
What a library!! WOWWW!! Love to listen to the sermons of pastor Rick. He's such an interesting person, I can only imagine the incredible stories he could tell. Wonderful interview....just wonderful.
I agree! Rick is so comfortable to be around, authentic, and so entertaining! I could listen to him all day.

Did 4yrs at Saddleback & at thru +200 sermons. With respect & sincerity, IF I could sit down with Rick, my top 10:
◾️why doesn't he present the Gospel
◾️why all topical sermons
◾️why obfuscate sin & its severity
◾️why no sermons on wrath, Hell, etc
◾️why majority don't bring Bibles
◾️why use many bible translations
◾️why ordain women pastors
◾️why no doctrinal sermons (example:
⠀Christology, Soteriology, Eschatology)
◾️why is it impossible to actually meet
⠀with Rick to voice these concerns
◾️in light of the prior 9 questions, why
⠀no concern about being at the wrong ⠀judgement: Bema vs. White Throne
⠀
Question 1 is most important & any response would be appreciated. I sat thru +200 sermons & searched CZcams; can't locate an actual Rick Warren gospel presentation.
⠀
Moralistic teaching on felt needs with scripture sprinkled in does not convict, convert, regenerate, or save.
““Write this letter to the angel of the church in Laodicea. This is the message from the one who is the Amen-the faithful and true witness, the beginning of God’s new creation: “I know all the things you do, that you are neither hot nor cold. I wish that you were one or the other! But since you are like lukewarm water, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth! You say, ‘I am rich. I have everything I want. I don’t need a thing!’ And you don’t realize that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked. So I advise you to buy gold from me-gold that has been purified by fire. Then you will be rich. Also buy white garments from me so you will not be shamed by your nakedness, and ointment for your eyes so you will be able to see. I correct and discipline everyone I love. So be diligent and turn from your indifference. “Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends. Those who are victorious will sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat with my Father on his throne. “Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches.””
Revelation 3:14-22 NLT
Exactly! He has greatly hurt the church!
Argue with a pig and you both get dirty … hmmm
He’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Why did you keep going if you had issues? 😅
It's according to how stubborn you are ,how long it takes but he always gets you to do something harder down the road but if you're not walking in his agenda his Spirit you'll never make it
Wow, this library is unbelievable! Thanks Carey, great interview

Great stuff
Wow. THANK YOU Carey and Rick. SO good!!
Great info, *God bless y’all;* I’ve a question here and hoping I get best answers. What’s your say for anyone with *50 grands* looking for the best ways to make returns of it?
Please drop your replies below, I need help on this.
On my own opinion, I will suggest you to get a *Pro Coach* who will help build intelligent plans to meet your financial goals.
@@silviaerling382 that’s great, you’re right I do need a Coach
Please how do I approach *Diana* ?
thanks a lot for the help, I do appreciate.
@@silviaerling382 thanks a lot for the help, I do appreciate.
I will be very delighted to take part on this great experience.
Wow! I wonder how many millions of dollars all the books and collectibles in the library cost?
I know much was gifted to him like Billy Graham’s hat, etc.
I’m sure Rick inherited his parent’s collections and collected since he was a teenager.
It makes sense that this is where his spending money went. He drove a “beater”car until the church presented him with a new, but used, car for his 60th birthday.
Exactly!
What a blessing to hear and learn from. I will listen to it again and again, thank you.
Who is the interviewer?
Hi Verna, my name is Carey Nieuwhof, nice to meet you.
Wow!!!! Now this is awesome. So, I'm literally only 5 minutes in not even 4 minutes 48 seconds and I'm already blown away by this interview. I love Pastor Warren, sincerely. I've been watching him for a very long time (in fact he saved my life). In all my years of watching him I've never seen this gem of an interview with him. How cool 😎.
U are one lucky guy! Ok, now onto the rest of the video.
Sunday is a crowd. It's not fellowship. It's group worship. If nobody's in fellowship there's a problem.
When did you come to Uganda?
A you save ?D o you jesus as lord and savor? You can have him today.

"You will attract whatever you are." I once heard a similar statement with regard to ministry: "what you win them with is what you win them to." - Kyle Idleman
I love Rick's sermons
😃 😀 😄 😁 🤣 😂 😃.....Are you serious? I like marshmallows too. What brand you like?
so great to hear! Thank you
Thank you very much fro this amazing interview. I love so much Rick Warren and I am very thankful for his work. Carey, thank you for your CZcams channel. Love what you do. Keep going :) God bless both of you!
wow, this is amazing
Is anyone else noticing how uncomfortable Carey is with this conversation? Poor guy.
I’m cringing the whole way through. Good job Carey keeping a straight face.
This interview and the interview with Gordon MacDonald should be required watching/listening for all pastors. Thank you so much Carey for putting allowing us to access to this.

Were you in the British Virgin Islands and what’s the name of the church planted here?
I am really bless by pastor Rick thank you for sharing your experience of forgiveness during the criticism. I will say WOW.
What is rewarded gets repeated.
Mature churches plant new churches. Regardless of how big the church is.
Reward the churches that plant not the big ones that don't.
I loved it. You mentioned you were going to ask him about the new thing he's doing that was difficult. the finish task movement thing. I think that was missed right?
Great question. It's a separate interview. You'll find it here: churchpulseweekly.org/2021/11/warren/
@@CareyNieuwhof thanks Carey. I"m sure I will love it too
This is why I love rick. This guy is authentic.
Thanks for this!
So much to think through and digest. Thank you so much!

Wonderful message
What he thinks of me does not control what I think of him. Excellent
for health, get on the garden of Eden food. hint: it gets ripe, is living sweet.
Qualifications of leaders and volunteers is critical. As a church matures the qualifications rise.
This video is Unreal. So good
5 Purposes of the Church
Jesus died for the Church. That's how important it is.
Commandments in The Great Commandment and Commission
see John 1 and Ephesians 4
Worship Love God... = express love to God, offer body as living sacrifice (all parts of the service)
1. Honour God- thru Worship comes before
2. Service -Ministry- Love Neighbour - diaconia serve them comes put of Worship
3. Evangelism - make disciples
4. Discipleship training - mature them --how many small groups --how often do they meet -
Role of covenants in developing Christian habits : membership, maturity,
5. Baptism - incorporation into the Body of Christ - To belong, To fellowship, To participate
@Genesis 12:3 = Matthew 25:31-46
Jacob's Inheritance
Jesus the Christ
goats sheep
Matthew 6:20,21. (20. But lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven...(21.
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. God bless you on your journey!!!
Wow, I’m in tears. Thank you Carey for doing this. We love you and pastor Rick
Tremenda entrevista gracias Carey 👏👏👏
What a good teacher Thank you God bless
Praying for my Pastor Rick and that God will let us keep him a little longer.
I love his love for books. What a treasure his library is!
So nice to hear the practical issues Pastor Rick has shared will be helpful in everyday living and Pastoral Ministry. Thank you so much Dear Pastor Rick and Carey for a wonderful time 🙏🏻👍🏻

All this knowledge can also be applied outside the church, that is to say, starting literally any business/building a generational empire (Disclaimer: I am not saying the church is a business ! and also try to focus on the point i am trying to pass). Also, what makes all these knowledge “number 1” in comparison with other sources for example, from Elon Musk,motivational speakers,etc is the fact God is the foundation, God is given all the glory, decisions are made based on God,etc. CZcams we have really stumbled on gold !
That was so good, so much Biblical wisdom, praise God!
These people are woke. Must be avoided.
I think rick is an ENFJ
Thiss is so dope!! Amazing content 🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Learned a lot from you Ptr. Rick. GOD bless your heart more... I Thank God for your life..
Being a pawn for the Communist Revolution, great job guys! Finishing well!
10000%🔥🔥🔥truth
Wow. What a library! We have a "cut out" window into a "room" in our house that we took the blinds off of and boarded up. Wish I was able to create something like this library. I think our space will end up being a cold storage space.
Great stuff! Thank you.
Billy Graham rule - Says it limits his propensity for sin.
Thanks for this, Carey. Just diving into it, but random question: tell me more about your iPad stand/keyboard set up, please.
Im at home recovering from COVID. This was like a booster to me!!! Thks Carey. Question. Did Rick told you, out of camera, all the “ten commandments” for his Staff? If yes, Can u share it? Blessings
49:00 - WHERE does the Bible say that God uses pain! Maybe it does, but he doesn't say. I was waiting for him to say, that the answer to "how" does God turn hard soil of hearts into soft soil, is "I am not ashamed of the Gospel for IT has the power to save" and "...How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?"
52:00 - he can tell what kind of people who will go to your church and who won't, by your music style! Wow. The old Presbyterian I was going to in another town had horrible organ music with Hymns I'd never heard before, but the preaching was wonderful and expositional. We found nowhere else proclaiming the Gospel throughout the whole Bible, like that church. After there two years, the contemporary Presbyterian in the next town was shrinking, and we were the only Pres in the whole STATE to be growing. Thirty-somethings were finding it and appreciating the TRUTH from the pulpit.
Boy, I feel like writing in all caps. This guy is a piece of work.
One of my life time heroes.
50:38 is very instructional.
Believers who arent belongers may be an indication that the services and small groups are toxic and wounding.
If you watch nothing else go to 42:11 and watch the ten minutes on social media. Incredible.
Really cuts to the heart of it, agree.
There is literally a movement called Every Nation with that mission 🤣 5:43
Other than that, this was a fantastic episode!
Our greatest ministry will come out our deepest hurt.
Incarnational preaching - the Word becomes flesh.
