The Weekday

Did you forget about us? Because we certainly almost did! It's time for an EXTENDED INTRO too. Where's Mike? On this week's/month's episode of The Weekday podcast, Mike, Just, and Andy dive deep into why people have been leaving the church...and why some are now coming back.

We haven't done the weekday in longer than a month. Justin is back from a mission trip to the DR, Mike is fired up, and Andy can't remember how to run a podcast.So hang on. We're digging in to an article that is a HEAVY HITTER when it comes to the reasons people are leaving church. Through our discussion, we take various trips in and out of the church, the reasons behind "workism," leadership struggles, and how we may be able to speak into this world a little bit more.FIND THE ARTICLE HERE: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/the-misunderstood-reason-millions-of-americans-stopped-going-to-church/ar-AA1ew9dQWhat about you?

The buzzword AI has really been part of the news for the 8 months now, so we figured it was time to talk about it. Quick and topical But AI does NOT equal what we've been seeing in generative AI and ML (machine learning). Should the church/pastors/church staff/congregation be scared of generative AI and machine learning? What do things like ChatGPT, Midjourney, and DALL-E mean for the future of the Gospel?And, the big question, how can we TRULY look at art in the same way again?IN THIS EPISODE:-Easter Skittles-Kroger Gift Cards and MLMs-Top 3 Tech Items That Are Off The Beaten Path-Why modern sanitation is under appreciated**********Connect with us at bayhope.tv!E-mail us: theweekday@bayhope.comLike, share, and subscribe to THE WEEKEDAY at: Youtube playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQZbAK_N-16TuY_KabhX0SLD35MYj8GlZApple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-weekday/id1525390546Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/4I16hDlYkY6wVLAqrni645----------Like, comment, & subscribe to stay updated with our latest Bay Hope content!Plan a visit to one of our physical OR online campuses at https://www.bayhope.church/campusesLike, comment, & subscribe to stay updated with our latest Bay Hope content!Plan a visit to one of our physical OR online campuses at https://www.bayhope.church/campusesFOLLOW Bay Hope Church:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/bayhopechurch/Twitter - https://twitter.com/bayhopechurchFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/bayhopechurch/Website - https://www.bayhope.comLIVE services - https://live.bayhope.com*****Ready to grow in your faith, connect with new friends, and get in a group? Head over to our Online Campus Facebook group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/bayhopechurchonlineLooking for LIVE services?

News flash: Mike is wearing a suit today. So that's GOOD news. 

There seems to be a different energy to the general church world this year. It has felt more alive and vibrant. But inside of that vibe, there's a change that's happening. And that change signals formation. Culturally Gen Z is starting to show signs of formation that may be a bit different than we first thought it would look like.What are we being formed by? What are we being shaped by? What is the church doing today to actually help with this formation?Also, ChatGPT creates the best commercial ever. Don't believe us?

The world doesn't need another podcast or show about the awakening/revival that's happening in Wilmore, Kentucky, at Asbury University. But we are going to bring one anyway. Mike, Andy, and Austin discuss what's been happening, if it's a revival or not (and if it's even our place to talk about that), and how we can respond to awakening. Should we be impressed? Should we jump on board? Should we continue to pray?And what does this mean for the future of the church as a whole?Thanks to our buddy Austin Slade behind the switcher, we persevere through Justin's sickness (get well soon, my dude).IN THIS EPISODE:-Spy balloons, UFOs, and the submarine from the "Ready Or Not" video (thanks to The Fugees)-We try to explain gravity in Star Wars-Ascots----------Like, comment, & subscribe to stay updated with our latest Bay Hope content!Plan a visit to one of our physical OR online campuses at https://www.bayhope.church/campusesFOLLOW Bay Hope Church:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/bayhopechurch/Twitter - https://twitter.com/bayhopechurchFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/bayhopechurch/Website - https://www.bayhope.comLIVE services - https://live.bayhope.com*****Ready to grow in your faith, connect with new friends, and get in a group? Head over to our Online Campus Facebook group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/bayhopechurchonlineLooking for LIVE services?

Is influencer culture ruining the church? Is the stigma of younger leaders who are seeking to use their influence through social media something that older leaders frown upon?Or does this just reflect upon what our churches are doing in terms of discipleship, relationship, and emotional connect?We have a crisis of leadership in general, not just in the church, but also throughout the world.

Christians should be the most secure, comfortable people in our identities because of what we believe. But add social media into the amalgamation that is our lives, and we all of a sudden become insecure, attention-seeking, overblown, and windswept people in the world.What is the purpose of social media? How SHOULD the church respond to it?What is a Christian influencer? What makes it just FEEL a little off about our world?And how should the church ACTUALLY respond to all of social media in the wild?Justin, Mike, and Andy tackle this, plus a whole host of wonderful pre-show banter, including movies that Justin has never seen (most of them) and our Top 3 Guilty Pleasure movies (which one of us didn't understand).What are some things that you're seeing the landscape around this topic?

UNCOVERED!This is not a hit piece on the Bible, but we thought it would be fun to bring you the stories in the Bible that we tell kids during Sunday School that are missing a LOT of the details.
