In the latest episode of Unscripted, Pastor Dino Rizzo sits down with Pastor Mark Francey—co-founding pastor with his wife, Rachelle, of Oceans Church in Orange County—for a powerful and unfiltered conversation about leadership, church planting, and what it looks like to follow God’s call with honor and patience.

From serving under the pastoral leadership of Rachelle’s parents in Boise, Idaho for 17 years to launching a church that’s now shaking California—and soon the nation—Mark opens up about the long road from janitor to church planter. He unpacks how submission and humility paved the way, and why obedience always wins in the long run.

They talk:

  • The early days of Oceans Church (and their lowest Sunday ever)
  • What it really takes to plant a church
  • Why slammed doors are often setups for God’s greatest provision
  • The heart behind Baptize America, a nationwide revival effort through water baptism
  • And the importance of becoming confident in your own grace

Whether you’re a church planter, a leader, or just someone asking, “What’s next, God?”—this episode is full of timeless wisdom and contagious passion for the Church.
