Podcast appearances and mentions of adam ryan

Today, we celebrated our annual Love and Legacy fundraising effort. We saw what an amazing providential work God has graced us with throughout the year. Ps Adam followed that up with speaking on Creating a House. Who is the house for? God, of course. And Christians. And the city of Bundaberg. Using many scriptures, Ps Adam shows us just how important it can be and how exciting it can be as well.

The early church saw the Gospel spread across the known world. Ps Adam explores the habits and patterns of Jesus' followers that saw them impact the lives of thousands through the power of God.

What do we gain from fellowship? Ps Adam highlights three life changing benefits we take away from coming together in social settings and small gatherings.

Today Alive Church begins a new series. Ps Adam describes what the Old Temple was like, including buildings, implements, foods, rituals, sacrifices, and more. But the New Temple is quite different! Ps Adam also describes the amazing differences between the two. Don't miss out on this one as it's personal.

Jim is joined by NBA sports podcaster Adam Ryan to break down the hall of fame candidacy of former NBA power forward Terry Cummings. First, Jim and Adam cover the top 3 picks of the 1982 NBA Draft (10:01). Next, they discuss the 1985 playoff series where Cummings outscored Michael Jordan, how Cummings compares to James Worthy, and the significance of the 19,000-Point Club (14:10). Finally, Adam and Jim rank Terry among the best power forwards of the 1980s (43:15), before making a final call on whether or not Cummings deserves a place in the Basketball Hall of Fame (47:40).

Happy Easter!Today Alive Church presents a very special Easter event. It's a mixture of songs, acting (during the songs so you won't miss anything) and a mighty and passionate narration from Ps Adam. Ps Adam takes us from the Jewish Passover and all the way through the Easter story to the end. While addressing different characters in all that, Ps Adam frequently asks the question, "Which One Are You?"

Ps Adam reports that, between the Old Testament and the New Testament, there was a 400-year gap. They were dark years for Israel, with much unreliability and death and darkness of all kinds. Towards the end of that period, the Romans had appointed Herod the Great as King of Judaean. This is where it gets really interesting! (Jesus!)

Humility was one of the defining features of Jesus' ministry. This message explores what it looks like for us to have a humble heart posture.

Adam Ryan, CEO of Workweek, joined me this week to discuss his recent warning that the newsletter sector is overheated. Some points from the conversation:Newsletters are a commodity. The number of newsletters is growing faster than the number of readers. AI tools and cheap platforms like Beehiv have made launching one easy, but most newsletters lack true audience affinity.The inbox is not really a direct connection. It's a platform like any other, subject to change. Apple's Mail Privacy Protection has broken open rates, AI tools like Superhuman summarize newsletters without opening them, and inboxes are being segmented, reducing visibility.Paid growth is a weak foundation. Many newsletters rely on paid acquisition and cross-promotion. The moment that engine turns off, engagement often collapses because there's no real audience connection.Winners are thinking beyond email. The most successful publishers are building businesses around community, events, and services. Morning Brew, Workweek, and Lenny's Newsletter all extend beyond just newsletters.Newsletters are a starting point, not a business. They are an MVP—a way to build an audience—but real success comes from expanding into new distribution and monetization channels.

Colours" is a colloquial term for the flag military units would carry into battle. They were used to identify a particular battalion, indicate strategy and tactics and declare who it was they were fighting for. Ps Adam discusses the "colours" we carry and how to carry them effectively in our day to day.

 .Ps Adam relates how he misses seeing the face of his father. He reassures us that we don't need to miss seeing the face of Jesus. Ps Adam uses many scriptures and details 3 points to assist us in how to "Seek the Face" of our Lord. 

Are we a Living Testimony to Jesus when we are out in public? Ps Adam wants us to break through courageously to become a Living Testimony to the world outside. We can all grow into this, starting small and becoming big. Please listen today and be much encouraged.

Are we a Living Testimony to Jesus when we are out in public? Ps Adam encourages us that our actions speak as loud as our words.

Join us for Vision Sunday as we look at the year ahead with great expectation! Ps Adam and Joey, our Senior Pastors also announce that Citicoast Church will be newly named 'Alive Church'. 

Ps Adam relates a story of his childhood in which he learned a lesson about not having proper focus and not relating to things outside of his own domain. He then appropriately applies this to all Christian churches today. He follows that up with applying those principles to CitiCoast's church vision for 2025. Would your church do well to apply this?

Do we want to grow in Christ? Ps Adam points out that we need to Grow in Grace in order to grow in Christ. What is grace? What is judgment? How are they related? All these and many more will be described excellently by Ps Adam today. Ps Adam finishes with three points to help us have the Grace to Grow.

Someone had planted a fake newspaper in the Ryan house. The front page was dated 2028 and was a satire of Citicoast Church closing down. It prompted Ps Adam to ponder how it would be "If We Weren't Here" in our city. The light of Jesus that we carry with us would not be present. Surely everyone would notice the difference? How strong is the light of Jesus in each of us? Ps Adam presents many Scriptures that show us how we should behave in public so that there would be no doubt about how our lights would be missed if we weren't here.

Ps Adam opens with an anecdote where he wasted his time and failed to succeed - a Pointless Pursuit. He then describes numerous distractions that we are confronted with and that can draw us away from God's calling in our lives. He doesn't leave us feeling guilty, though, but provides Biblical solutions to help us have a more meaningful life, the one God wants for us.

Ps Adam points out that the answer is so simple but we can make it so complicated. He uses many scriptures that discuss being saved. And shows how it can be condensed to just one word!

Ps Adam opens with a dramatic account of Jesus' journey to the cross, His agony in the Garden, and other aspects which reveal to us what kind of a heart He has. It's the kind of heart that God wants us to have. Our heart tells a story. Ps Adam then goes into detail with three aspects of Jesus' heart which would do us all well to adapt to our day-to-day lives.

When we meet someone from out of town, we see they look different. That's how God wants us to be in the world. Ps Adam describes the sinful behaviour of three renowned biblical cities and how we should not go and spiritually "live there" and become like them. Ps Adam presents some excellent knowledge to help us Live Like Jesus.

Ps Adam wants us to know Our Heavenly Father more deeply. He is so good to us in so many ways, as detailed by Ps Adam today. Yes, He allows us to go through some hard times! Why does He do that? This is an excellent message for those who may be having some doubts about God as a father please allow Ps Adam to help you with that today. It's for all of us!

Ps Adam reminds us that the church is not a building but a group of people that form the Body of Christ. He describes well the troubles we can get into if we don't go to church regularly and he describes well numerous Scriptures that tell us of the immense benefits of going to church regularly. This message is a must for all of us who have become Christians.

Adam Ryan, former president of The Hustle and cofounder of Workweek, wants to rethink the B2B model. Workweek is banking on finding individuals – creators, if you will – to build audiences around. The bet is that individuals, particularly but not exclusively those who are practitioners in the field, can build deeper connections with audiences while benefiting from the infrastructure, services and halo effect of a parent media brand. Some highlights from our discussion: Don't raise too much money. Adam spent part of his career at Spiceworks, a professional network for IT professionals. The company identified an underserved community and executed on the opportunity, only to have an unsatisfying outcome. “It was a great company, bad cap table,” Adam said. “They actually made a ton of money. They didn't need to raise that much money. And then because they did, they made terrible decisions, long term.” You can be professional and have personality. Workweek is leaning on its network of 19 creators to be front and center. It doesn't have an editor-in-chief and instead relies on its newsletter writers to chart their own path that hews closely to what motivates them. Nicole Casperson, for instance, writes WTFintech and focuses often on diversity and inclusion issues that are important to her personally. Sector expertise is critical. Not all Workweek creators worked in the fields they cover, but many do. Workweek writer Nik Sharma, for instance, is a DTC marketer. This hands-on familiarity with the issues in these fields in invaluable, so long as it is also married with the ability to clearly communicate and consistently produce valuable pieces. “The reason why [B2B content] is kind of boring is because you have a lot of people that have never done those jobs,” he said . “They're just like listening and regurgitating. They're not like coming from a point of action.” Paid acquisition is more than a shortcut. Publishers used to have an aversion to admitting to buying traffic. I can remember BuzzFeed making sure to point out it only bought ads for its sponsor content, not editorial. But Adam saw how an effective paid audience development strategy can accelerate growth. For instance, Workweek's The Marketing Millennials property grew by 7,000 newsletter subscribers organically in seven weeks while paid acquisition added 20,000. So long as a company is confident in its cost per subscriber number, and is focused on quality of acquired subscribers, paid acquisition is an important tool. Overall, Workweek pays to acquire nearly half its overall list at an average cost of $10 per subscriber. You need connective tissue. Workweek has cast a broad net in its first eight months of existence, with newsletters focused on everything from cannabis to fin tech to memes to franchises to marketing. It has since refined the model around “pods” of core categories. Workweek has clusters around areas like startups and investing, health, marketing and fintech. “​​It just allowed the business to focus on marketing allows our business to essentially have more efficiencies,” Adam said.

On this week's episode of inTheir20s, we chatted with Workweek co-founder and CEO Adam Ryan. Adam and Workweek are building a new kind of media company that empowers creators to leverage their industry experience through engaging and insightful newsletters. In this episode of inTheir20s, Adam spoke about the benefit of being a deep generalist throughout your 20s. Deep generalism is the process of having a wide net of experiences across multiple industries and verticals. Adam explained how deep generalism helped him find career success before discussing what he is building with Workweek.
