Our Hosts

The hosts of The Bottom Half is Red are Barron and Rayna Longstreth. Together they founded The Church Today Tulsa in 2008 with the goal of providing the city of Tulsa and the surrounding areas with a family of churches that offer an authentic apostolic culture. 

They are passionate about being kingdom focused and globally minded. The values of the will of God at any cost and everyone matters are a way of life for them and the church they lead.

Rayna:

Affectionately known as "Sister Pastor" around The Church Today, Rayna is a dynamic worship leader and highly sought-after speaker. She brings a much-needed emotional perspective to the conversation.

Rayna is a foodie. So when she's not teaching bible studies, leading worship, or standing on chairs to pray for the tallest people in the building, she's probably thinking about a new restaurant she wants to try. She sincerely believes that biscuits and gravy will be present at the table in Heaven. Traveling is not her favorite thing, but she enjoys seeing God's creation once she has arrived.

An entirely made-up fact (maybe) is that Rayna dreams of being a stunt pilot and making her bother Colby (a real-life pilot) pass out during aerobatic maneuvers.

Barron:

Barron is the lead pastor at The Church Today. Beyond the pulpit, Barron's passions span the globe. He's an avid traveler, exploring new horizons whenever he can. Whether it's a foreign city or a remote village, he can find inspiration literally everywhere he goes. He is a voracious reader, immersing himself in a wide range of literature, from the Bible and spiritual texts to nonfiction and thrilling novels. His love for reading fuels his intellectual curiosity.

What truly sets Barron apart is his unwavering commitment to people. He approaches life with a genuine passion for humanity, offering support, kindness, and a listening ear to all. Barron is not only a spiritual leader but also a Kingdom advocate. He's a dedicated supporter of Global Missions, working tirelessly to advance the gospel and make a lasting impact worldwide.

In addition to nurturing his spiritual side, Barron prioritizes his physical well-being. He maintains an intense fitness regimen, understanding the importance of a healthy mind and body. He's also been known to do a quick flex in front of the mirror when he thinks no one is looking.

An entirely made-up fact is that he routinely arm wrestles and defeats his two oldest sons (actual fact: who are arm wrestling champions) simultaneously.
