Podcasts about big church

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.

Have you ever sang “carpool karaoke” on a long trip with friends or family? Psalm 127 & 128 are back-to-back “songs” in the Bible that were sung by ancient families as they traveled together. They're both packed with lyrics about God, mamas, daddies, children, & grandchildren. #MoFamilySong

The discussion delves into topics such as transitioning from larger church roles to leading in smaller, secular communities, the importance of digital presence in modern ministry, and approaches to discipleship and worship that resonate in a European context.

Welcome to this Hump Day edition to the Vince Coakley Radio Program!  We start the show by talking about our very own Mark Garrison making headlines thanks to his interview with Joe Biden's Press Secretary Karin Jean-Pierre + why Vince thinks that RFK Jr's. pick for running mate is not a good choice if he wants to establish himself as a "true independent." We also talk about a North Carolina resident who turned a hot-dog run into a major lottery win as well as the issue of renting a home being cheaper than buying in major metropolitan areas in the United States.  In the second half of the program Vince takes a call from a listener about the place political parties have in today's environment before sharing a controversial decision made by the mega-church Elevation based here in Charlotte and how it reinforces his feelings on "Big Church."  We close the program with news about a North Carolina staple coming to McDonald's and an update on the Sean "Diddy," Combs raid. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.
