Podcasts about big church

Controversial Christianity The church is in a series called Controversial Christianity, where the goal is to: Talk about difficult or uncomfortable topics Bring clarity, conviction, compassion, and Christ into the conversation Model how to disagree while staying united This year's topics are a little lighter—but still meaningful.   This Week's Topic: Mega Churches This week's conversation focuses on: What it means to attend a megachurch A “megachurch” is simply a church with 2,000+ people attending regularly and Northeast is one of them.   The Challenges of Mega Churches Mega churches often carry negative stereotypes, such as: Celebrity pastor culture Entertainment over worship Financial greed and excuses Shallow theology and teaching Shallow relationships and community Complex bureaucracy and leadership Consumer mindset in attendees While these aren't always true, they exist because of real examples in church history and culture.   The Goal: Defy the Stereotypes The goal is not to be a “big church” for the sake of size. Instead: We want to be a healthy church, no matter the size. Healthy churches can be: Big or small Simple or complex Size doesn't determine health, people do.   Big Church vs. Small Church People coming from smaller churches may notice differences: More structured systems Larger worship environments Less direct access to certain leaders But these differences are not necessarily problems; they're just different cultures.   The Biggest Issue: Consumer Christianity The biggest risk in a megachurch is this: It's easy to just show up, consume, and not engage. With so many people, it's easy to: Stay anonymous Avoid serving Only attend occasionally But that's not what the church is meant to be.   The Real Challenge The message shifts from this: “Just attend church” To: “Help build a healthy church” That means: Showing up consistently Getting involved in community Serving others Taking ownership of your church family   Next Steps Everyone is encouraged to take a step deeper: Alpha – explore Christianity Basics – learn about the church Groups – build community Serving – get involved Mentorship – grow spiritually   Final Takeaway The church is not a product to consume. It's a family to belong to and a mission to live out. And ultimately: Our impact as a church depends on how much each of us leans in.    

Letters Jesus Wrote to Seven Churches The Church Of Philadelphia

J.John speaks with Tim Jupp, formerly the keyboard player of Delirious? and now the Founder of the Big Church Festival. Tim shares about his passion for unifying the Church in the UK through worship and music.

For nearly 2,000 years of Christian history, this wasn't even a debated question. When the church gathered for worship, the whole family gathered together. But today, many parents wrestle with what Sunday mornings should look like for their children. In this episode of Family Vision, Dr. Rob and Amy Rienow explore what Scripture, church history, and personal experience reveal about children in corporate worship. From Old Testament feasts to New Testament letters addressed directly to children, the biblical pattern consistently points toward multi-generational worship. But this conversation goes deeper than logistics. It's about long-term discipleship, heart connection to the church body, and whether our children truly feel seen, valued, and spiritually formed within the gathered church. What You'll Learn in This Episode: - What the Bible reveals about children participating in corporate worship - Why this question did not exist for most of church history - How separating children from the main service may impact long-term faith - The difference between having kids present and truly valuing them - Practical encouragement for parents navigating Sunday mornings Scriptures Referenced: Exodus 12, Deuteronomy 16, Joshua 8, Joel 2, Ephesians 6:1–3, Colossians 3:20 Resources: Visionary Church – Discover how your church can strengthen families and the next generation.

John and Chino explore the dramatic rise of megachurch culture and how American consumerism reshaped faith into a spectacle. They compare intimate home-based congregations with today’s oversized entertainment venues, asking whether the push for bigness has come at the cost of discipleship, accountability, and authentic community. With humor and candor, they share personal experiences from cult exits to high-tech worship environments that feel more like sci-fi productions than spiritual gatherings. They also dig into the historical roots behind the phenomenon—from the early revivalists to the strategic church-growth movement—and expose how power, money, and celebrity have created a modern cult of personality. This conversation challenges listeners to consider what truly defines a healthy church and whether the biggest churches might be obscuring the smallest, most essential aspects of faith.______________________Weaponized Religion: From Christian Identity to the NAR:Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735160962Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCGGZX3K______________________– Support the channel: https://www.patreon.com/branham– Subscribe to the channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBSpezVG15TVG-lOYMRXuyQ– Visit the website: https://william-branham.org– Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WilliamBranhamOrg – Follow on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@william.m.branham– Follow on Twitter: https://twitter.com/wmbhr– Buy the books: https://william-branham.org/site/books

Mailbag questions or topic suggestions? Text us!A freshman gets baptized by his friends. A mom weeps because her child—wounded by past violence—finally steps out to a church event. Teenagers run cameras, lead songs, read Scripture, and help with communion. The thread tying it together is simple and bold: there's no junior Holy Spirit, and students don't need a separate church—they need a real place in the church.We sit down with Jordan Francis of Reframe Youth to unpack why intergenerational ministry is more than a nice idea; it's one of the strongest predictors of a faith that lasts beyond graduation. Jordan shares how smaller and more diverse congregations often integrate students by necessity, and how that necessity becomes a discipleship advantage. We dig into practical systems you can replicate: use Wednesdays to build relationships and pathways, then launch students into Sunday roles—worship, kids, production, hospitality—where older saints mentor and teenagers contribute in meaningful ways.If you're in a large church, Jordan maps a smart playbook: don't start with the senior pastor; partner with kids and next gen leaders to build a simple pipeline, gather stories and data, and expand from proof-of-concept to church-wide practice. Along the way, we talk about calling out gifts, coaching through the mess, giving teens language for hard days, and shifting Sunday from a show to a shared family responsibility. Expect sharp insights, field-tested tactics, and stories that will reshape how you see teenagers in your worshiping community.

Many Christians say they prefer smaller churches, and in God's providence, there are many smaller, thriving churches. But it's worth checking your preferences against God's word. Are your preferences aligned with biblical priorities? Or are you making your preferences into biblical priorities?Our church and community have grown significantly over the last few years, and while it is understandable to miss seeing certain friends, we want to make sure that we are processing this growth like believing Christians. So this is a message on big church blessings.The Texts: “And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be. And he believed in the Lord; and he counted it to him for righteousness” (Gen. 15:5-6)“For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation. Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls” (Acts 2:39-41).“After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; and cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb” (Rev. 7:9-10).King's Cross Church is a member congregation of the CREC in Moscow, ID.

Mailbag questions or topic suggestions? Text us!Want teens to feel seen, speak up, and stick around? We dig into the power of student-only spaces with Family Ministries pastor Tito Lozano and uncover how comfort, agency, and relationship-driven environments lead to deeper faith and smoother integration into the wider church. Tito walks us through a simple but game-changing redesign—turning a stage into a lounge with couches and beanbags—and how that shift invited vulnerability and richer small group conversations. We also unpack student ownership: room decor, anonymous feedback surveys, and a voice in series planning that sparks buy-in and makes “our youth group” feel truly theirs.We don't stop at the youth room door. Tito shares a balanced rhythm for integration—one Sunday a month in “big church”—that familiarizes teens with the lead pastor, corporate worship, and adult liturgy without sacrificing the age-intentional midweek environment. We tackle serving pathways that don't bury the same students behind tech every week, and we highlight the irreplaceable role of adult leaders who show up at games, concerts, and fourth-meal hangouts. Those everyday moments become the bridge from adolescent faith to adult discipleship.

Welcome to the August 2025 Global News Update! In this episode:

Karl Vaters talks with Luke Simmons, the pastor of Ironwood Church in Mesa, AZ. Recently, Luke and his church elders decided to pursue a very ambitious goal with the aim of helping their large, growing congregation feel smaller and more connected.As a big-church pastor, Luke is not a typical Church Lobby guest, but he and Karl follow each other on X (formerly Twitter) and when Luke posted about this plan it inspired a lot of questions and curiosity. The plan is for the members of their elder team to have one-on-one meetings with 1,000 church members over coffee or a meal this coming year.If those numbers make you feel like this isn't for you, give it a chance. Luke has a heart for people, and he's interested in how to set numerical goals that help us reach non-numerical objectives of discipleship, fellowship, and service.Links:Luke's original X post about elder meeting goalsLuke's original X post about doing one-on-one meetingsFaithful and FruitfulTim Keller on Leadership and Church Size DynamicsDarrell Stetler's Sermon IllustratorFollow Luke on XIronwood ChurchBonus videoHow To Conduct An Annual Leadership Meeting, with Luke SimmonsKarl Vaters talks with Luke Simmons about some of the steps he follows to gain as much as possible from an annual leadership meeting with his church elders.

A Swedish church weighing 672 tonnes is being moved five kilometers over two days so that Europe's biggest underground mine can expand. It's taken eight years of planning and more than €45 million to get to this point, which is part of a larger multi-decade process to move the entire Arctic town of Kiruna. We more on this fascinating story with Philip O'Connor a freelance journalist based in Sweden.

Feeling disconnected in your church despite being surrounded by people? You're not alone. In this episode of Marked by Grace, Heath Lambert addresses one of the most common struggles in modern church life - cultivating authentic community instead of settling for surface-level acquaintances. Discover the biblical "one another" principle that transforms shallow relationships into deep, meaningful community. Learn why taking personal responsibility for relationships is the key to experiencing the authentic connection you're longing for.Timestamps0:00 - Introduction: Authentic community in a big church0:39 - The question: How to cultivate true community vs. acquaintances1:27 - Why this applies to churches of all sizes1:50 - Institutional vs. personal approaches to relationships2:56 - Galatians 6:2 - "Bear one another's burdens"3:16 - The "one another" passages in the New Testament4:20 - The merry-go-round analogy for biblical relationships5:53 - Why authentic relationships require trading places6:23 - The selfish approach to relationships (and why it fails)7:35 - Taking personal responsibility for relational investment8:16 - You don't need permission to serve others9:04 - Practical steps: listening, serving, investing in people9:32 - The principle: Those who invest most receive the greatest return10:20 - Personal example: Medical troubles revealing relational investmentKey PointsThe "One Another" Principle: The New Testament contains dozens of "one another" commands - bear, love, serve, teach, encourage one another. These form the foundation of authentic Christian community.The Merry-Go-Round Model: Healthy relationships require people to "trade places" - sometimes you're the one being served (sitting on the merry-go-round), sometimes you're the one serving (pushing the merry-go-round).Common Relationship Problem: Often people who complain about lack of community are being selfish - waiting for others to invest in them instead of taking initiative to invest in others.Personal Responsibility: You don't need permission to take relational responsibility. You can start serving, encouraging, and investing in others immediately.The Investment Principle: Those who make the biggest relational investments typically receive the greatest return - but this shouldn't be the motivation for serving.Practical Action Steps: Start listening to others, serve people's needs, and make genuine investments in their lives rather than waiting for others to initiate.Long-term Perspective: When you consistently invest in others, you build a community that will support you when you need it most.Scripture ReferencesGalatians 6:2 - "Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ." - The foundation for authentic communityVarious "One Another" Passages - Throughout the New Testament, believers are commanded to love one another, serve one another, teach one another, encourage one another, and bear with one another.Have a question you'd like answered?

In this episode of The Church Planting Podcast, host Greg Nettle is joined by Tim Celek from Stadia's post-launch team and two dynamic kids ministry leaders from Georgia—Brittany Ara of City Church Griffin and Robyn Alexander of Foundation Christian Church. Together, they outline five essential principles for church leaders who want to reach and disciple the next generation: Safety isn't optional – Every church needs a clear child protection policy. Not sure where to start? Ask neighboring churches to share their handbooks. Leadership matters – Recruit leaders who can lead teams, not just love kids. Burnout is real without shared responsibility. Let kids serve – Kids and teens need hands-on opportunities to experience their faith, not just hear about it. Know your ‘one' – Ditch cookie-cutter strategies and design ministry that fits your local community's needs and rhythms. Recruit with vision, not guilt – Celebrate wins from the stage, don't beg for volunteers. Help your team build a long-term system for healthy recruiting. They also share fun, creative ideas like using an ice cream truck for outreach and creating dual summer camp models for different demographics. It's a practical, passionate guide for any church looking to multiply its impact through children's ministry. 00:26 – Meet Brittany Ara & Robyn Alexander   02:10 – Why Stadia Prioritizes the Next Generation   03:15 – 5 Things Every Church Leader Needs to Know   03:45 – #1: Safety Must Come First   07:13 – #2: Healthy Kids Ministry Requires Strong Leadership   12:00 – #3: Empower Kids & Teens to Serve   14:00 – Creative Outreach Ideas: Ice Cream Truck Ministry   17:00 – Involving Kids in "Big Church"   19:11 – #4: Forget What You've Seen Before – Know Your Community   21:00 – Real-Life Camp Examples That Meet Families Where They Are   25:39 – Balancing Technology in Kids Ministry   26:00 – #5: Volunteer Recruiting Should Be Vision-Driven   29:00 – What Keeps These Leaders Going

Headed to Rome to stand trial, Paul’s journey was marred by hardship & doubt. But God meets him in the midst of the despair, promising him and all who are with him deliverance. When we face despair and then the divine assurance of salvation, will we respond in action? (Why wouldn’t we?!)

Today, we stand at a new “Napster moment,” but this time, it's not limited to music. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning are revolutionizing the media landscape in ways that could eclipse the Napster revolution. Vast datasets, including text, images, audio, and video, are being used to train AI models, producing content at an unparalleled scale and speed. The problem? Much of this content – essential for AI model training – is sourced without creators' permission. This new phase of digital disruption raises critical ethical and legal questions about the future of IP in an AI-driven world. Let's dive in and talk about this critical moment in AI innovation.

In this thought-provoking episode of God Talk, we dive deep into the murky waters of big entities - Big Pharma, Big Business, and Big Church. We explore the shocking recent events surrounding UnitedHealthcare's CEO shooting, the surprising sympathy towards the shooter, and the role of public perception in such cases. We also dissect the controversial policies and practices of Big Pharma and Business, shedding light on their motives and the public's growing frustration. Alongside, we turn our gaze towards Big Church, revealing how it mirrors these businesses in financial tactics, and the ethical concerns it raises. Tune in to uncover the realities of these powerful institutions and consider how we, as a society, respond to their influence. Are we too forgiving due to superficial factors? Do we overlook unethical practices in our faith communities? Join us as we question, critique, and seek clarity.

Many of us have small youth groups, but all of us want to have big church. In this episode, Matthew and Athena Smith give tips on how to have big church with a small youth group. Hint: LED walls are just optional. ;)

// Prayer // - October 13th, 2024 After attending Big Church with the adults on October 6th, we're back this week with our Practicing Jesus series in the normal HS space. Our topic this week is prayer, and what it looks like to prayer as a Christ-follower. We oftentimes overcomplicate prayer, and we hope that this week's message provides practical encouragement on what prayer is, how to pray, and the power of prayer.

We are so excited to have Allison, our kids pastor, bring kids church to big church.

This one's about money. "Of course, a big church wants to talk about money," right? But you can't deny the relevance. Money is a major part of all of our lives—how we make it, how we save it, how we spend it. It's a sensitive topic, but the Bible talks a lot about money, so we're talking about it, too.

When it comes to reaching people for Jesus, there's no finish line. There's no point where our church will say "we've made it" or "we're too big." Because there will always be one more person, and that person matters to God—so they matter to us.

Our mission? We are empowered by God to reach others for Christ. And we take that seriously. So when you wonder…is this church all about the show? Of course not. But the "show" can be an incredible tool to make new people feel comfortable enough to engage with God.
