The long, slow death of mainline churches is well documented and goes back to the 1970s. In the mid-twentieth century, approximately half of all Americans were identified as members of one of the seven mainline denominations. Today, it's between 10% and 15%. Not much is said about revitalizing these churches, but there is hope. Josh and Sam interview one mainline Methodist elder, Chad Brooks, who has a plan to solve this problem. The post Is There Any Hope for Revitalizing Mainline Churches? appeared first on Church Answers.

Chad Brooks preaches from Philippians 1:12-26.

What do you get when you cross fantasy football with the creation of a Wilco setlist? You get this episode! Todd Rossnagel, Tim Arnold, Dara Weyna, and Chad Brooks design the ultimate Wilco set list through a fantasy football-style draft.

Want to reach the show? Send us an email: shovingwilco@gmail.com In this episode, host Todd Rossnagel takes a break from the journey through the discography of Wilco to discuss the theology of Wilco. He is joined by Rev. Chad Brooks, a pastor in the Louisiana Conference of the United Methodist Church and based in Alexandria, Louisiana. Rossnagel and Brooks discuss the theology of Wilco's amazing song, "A Shot in the Arm," and specifically a moment in the song at one particular concert in Mississippi. The conversation explores the themes of faith, hope, and redemption in Wilco's music, and how these themes can be relevant to people of all faiths. As Brooks shares, every single time when we want things to change, we realize that the change is already inside of us. And as Rossnagel shares, the line, "What you once were isn't what you want to be any more," is our call to continually seek transformation. This is a fascinating and thought-provoking episode that will appeal to fans of Wilco, people of faith, and anyone interested in the intersection of music and spirituality. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/shovingwilco/support

In this episode, the Ben interviews Chad Brooks (Writing and Podcasts Linked Here) about the growing myth of church size and the struggles that many churches face in finding their identity in a post-COVID world. Chad, a pastor and church consultant, shares his insights and experiences on how churches can overcome these challenges and find new ways to do ministry in a rapidly changing world.

He highlights the importance of churches staying true to their core values and mission while also being open to new ideas and approaches. Finally, the Chad offers some practical suggestions for how churches can do ministry in new and innovative ways and how annual conferences can accommodate these new approaches. Overall, this episode offers a thought-provoking discussion on the challenges and opportunities that churches face in today's world. It provides valuable insights and practical advice for churches seeking to find their identity and make a positive impact in their communities. Chad's Twitter Here: RevChadBrooks

Jeremy Writebol speaks about his earliest sermon at a nursing home and the path that led him from there into the Lead Campus Pastor at Woodside Bible Church - Plymouth, Michigan and Executive Director at Gospel Centered Discipleship. They speak about the unique dynamics of pastoring at a multi-site church, sharing an outline with 13 other preachers, but responsibly and specifically creating localized sermons for each context. Jeremy and Mike speak about the advantages of sermon preparation in collaboration with other pastors, and the unique opportunities that the Christian calendar affords to prepare together for Easter, Christmas and Pentecost messages or series as an expression of gospel harmony. In his latest book, Pastor, Jesus Is Enough, Jeremy invites fellow pastors to hear the words of the risen Jesus in the seven letters within Revelation 2–3. The exhortations in Revelation 2–3 are directed to churches. But they also exhort pastors.In these seven letters, Jesus draws near to pastors—whether hurting or straying—and reminds them of his sufficiency. In these warnings and promises, Jesus has hard words for pastors. But they are words of life. Most of all, Jesus urges pastors to keep their focus on Him.Jeremy gives advice on preaching through the messages from Jesus in Revelation 2-3, and reminds us of the pastoral implications of this section - both to our own hearts and the hearts of our congregations.

Reverend Chad Brooks speaks with Mike Neglia about lessons learned regarding preaching during lockdown, and the changes that he sees between traditional sermon preaching and livestream/YouTube content. He also speaks about the distinction between “doing more things” actually doing things well, hustle culture, true pastoral productivity that focuses on health and fruitfulness instead of cranking out material. Chad has been involved in ministry for nearly 20 years. He loves to write, share and encourage innovation in ministry, the role of productivity inside of ministry, and all things involving biblical theology.

It's the time of the year to talk about all of the new things. Plans, words, dreams, lists, resolutions...all of the things. But how many of these things end up being truly new? Ask anyone in the fitness industry when their gym begins to normalize towards the end of the month. But what are the real and true things we find in life? And when is the right time to actually find a way for things to be truly new? What if we are in the beginning of the year where we really need things to change? We need new things. A new way of doings things, a new outlook on life. A new explanation for this complicated thing we call life. Scripture calls this a "new song" and it shows up in countless places throughout the prayerbook of scripture called Psalms. And don't doubt it for a moment, Psalms is about the absolute real human time colliding with the holy time of God. NT Wright calls it an "invitation to stand at the intersection of the different layers of time." I waited patiently for the Lord to help me,     and he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the pit of despair,     out of the mud and the mire. He set my feet on solid ground     and steadied me as I walked along. He has given me a new song to sing,     a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see what he has done and be amazed.     They will put their trust in the Lord. Oh, the joys of those who trust the Lord,     who have no confidence in the proud     or in those who worship idols. O Lord my God, you have performed many wonders for us.     Your plans for us are too numerous to list.     You have no equal. If I tried to recite all your wonderful deeds,     I would never come to the end of them. Psalms 40:1-5 NLT It's this patience waiting that turns into something. This relief we need, this vision, the stability and firm foundation we need for a new year. It's about creating an internal patience that lasts longer than the 12 days it takes for a New Years Resolution to fail.   See you in worship. We will be celebrating Communion together and beginning our new year with Wesley's Covenant Prayer.

In this episode our featured musician is Cat Clyde and our interview guests are Chris Martinez and Chad Brooks of Peticolas Brewing Company. Cat Clyde is a musician, singer and songwriter who has recently released her new album Hunters Trance.  Chad and Chris are award winning brewers at Peticolas Brewing Company. They are responsible for brewing my favorite beer (Velvet Hammer) as well as many others.

Earlier this year, Chad Brooks (our pastor), had a pretty serious medical scare. He took the time to talk about it on Sunday morning and also to share what Scripture revealed to his heart during the season of healing and reflection.

For this 31st episode of the Threshing Floor hosts Joshua Toepper and Chad Brooks try to make it work without Drew. We talk about 2014 and our favorite things. We spend time talking about our new favorite Country singer, what happens when Chad misses an episode of the podcast and reminisce about the early days of The Threshing Floor podcast. Chad shares the top 6 Threshing Floor episodes of 2014.  We have a conversation about the major conversations of Christianity in 2014 and what it means for the worldwide church.  Thanks for making 2014 such a successful year in podcasting and at Seedbed.  We wrap up our episode with some listener suggestions via twitter (hit us up at @ttfpodcast). We talk about theologians in conversation with John Wesley and how the means of grace matter in community. 

The Threshing Floor podcast is terribly excited to jump into 2014. Our first full episode with Seedbed centers around a conversation about why the hosts are Wesleyan. All three of us grew up outside of, but influenced by, a Wesleyan theological framework. We found out almost all of our reasons center around worship, experience, holiness and grace. We also had conversations about our predictions for 2014 and Joshua's fascination with preacher techno. You can hear more of that here. Our hosts are also writing blog posts on the topic. You can find them at Joshua Toepper, Drew Causey and Chad Brooks. We would absolutely love to hear your reasons why you are wesleyan. Share your thoughts and links in the comments below.
