Does running production for a massive, multi-site mega-church mean you need to buy every single piece of gear on the market? And when it comes to Sunday morning audio, can you actually trust a volunteer to mix Front of House?In this episode, we are joined by Dwight Theaker of Austin Stone Community Church. We dive deep into the specific logistics of broadcasting across multiple locations and break down exactly what AVL gear Austin Stone prioritizes. Dwight shares the surprising revelation that their production team actively chooses to use less gear than the average church, and explains the massive benefits of that streamlined philosophy.In this episode you'll hear:0:00 Intro: Toby Lost a Job & Chris Tomlin Stories5:00 Dwight Theaker (Austin Stone Community Church) Joins10:00 Gear Talk: What is Austin Stone Church Actually Using?14:00 The Logistics of Broadcasting Across Multiple Campuses15:45 Comparing Gear Priorities: 12Stone vs. Austin Stone18:00 Why Austin Stone Uses Less Gear Than the Average Church22:00 The Big Debate: Should Your Church Buy a d&b Soundscape Rig?25:00 Can You Actually Trust Volunteers to Mix FOH Audio?32:15 Church Tech Disaster Story35:30 Keep Sundays RunningTake our survey here and you'll get the full report emailed to you December 4th!  Connect with HouseRight on your next integration project here. Check out jobs at HouseRight here.  Get more money back in your budget and more space in your closet by selling us your used gear here. Resources for your Church Tech MinistrySell Us Gear: Does your church have used gear that you need to convert into new ministry dollars?

Are mega-churches actually more creative, or do they just have bigger budgets? And when it comes to your online service, should you really be livestreaming your worship set, or just the preaching?In this episode, we are joined by Brady Shearer, founder of Pro Church Tools, to tackle some of the most debated topics in church communications and media.

Show NotesThe Pastorate ConferenceThe Pastorate City MeetupsMeetup Speaker: Heath HardestyMeetup Speaker: Darrell JohnsonEd Stetzer's WebsiteEd Stetzer's Podcast: ChurchLeaders PodcastEpisode NotesIn today's conversation, Jason sits down with Ed Stetzer, Dean of Talbot School of Theology at Biola University and Teaching Pastor at Mariners Church, to talk about ministry in a disorienting cultural moment, a health crisis he's still in the middle of, and what it actually takes to form pastors well. Ed opens up candidly about being six weeks out from major spinal surgery for a rare medical condition, and what it's meant to trust God's providence without knowing how much of his mobility will return. From there, Jason and Ed trace Ed's own story: planting a church at 21 in the inner city of Buffalo with no theological education, pastoring the English-language service of a Chinese church in his early twenties, and the PhD in missiology that grew out of it. Ed talks about what he's building at Talbot through a model called Talbot Embedded, cohort-based theological education planted inside local churches in cities like Chicago, Nashville, and Honolulu, designed to give pastors both rigorous scholarship and tangible spiritual formation.The back half of the conversation turns to church planting, preaching, and the small church. Ed makes the case for why he's still bullish on planting, why he regularly offers to preach for free at churches under a hundred people, and how preaching itself has shifted toward more depth and more willingness to address controversial topics head-on. This is a rich conversation for pastors walking through their own seasons of difficultly, for anyone thinking about the future of theological education, and for leaders who are asking questions about the future of small rural churches in Canada. Jason and Ed discuss:What it's been like to preach and lead publicly while recovering from emergency spinal surgery and not knowing how much will heal,His early years church planting in Buffalo at 21 with no seminary training, and pastoring the English service of a Chinese congregation,Talbot Embedded, the model for bringing seminary-level theological education into local churches in cities without strong seminary access,Why he thinks the wave of church planting has crested even though the need for it hasn't,His habit of offering to preach for free at churches under a hundred people,How multicultural and multigenerational churches, especially in Canadian cities like Vancouver and Toronto, are wrestling with what comes after being a safe cultural harbor for first generation immigrants, How North American preaching has shifted over the last 20 years toward more depth and more willingness to address controversial topics directly.PartnersGet practical resources and training to help your church develop a healthy and sustainable approach to global mission.

Who is Jesus according to Jesus? We are answering that question by exploring seven scandalous claims he makes in the Gospel of John, known as the "I AM" statements.In John 14, Jesus declares, "I am the way, the truth, and the life." Within each of these three words, we find something we desperately long for—something we were created for. Yet, we frequently replace these authentic longings with cheap, enticing counterfeits. These counterfeits promise fulfillment but ultimately leave us empty.In this message, we discover that while we tend to be preoccupied with self-preservation and security, what we truly need—and what Jesus offers—is a life of abundance and purpose that we can participate in now and into eternity.

Hear from PT, a church planter in Vietnam, as he shares his vision for church planting. PT reflects on Paul's own journey of learning and listening, before he shares the gospel with those in Athens. PT wants to do the same, as he shares the good news with Vietnamese people around him.

Obe Arellano shares why Latino church planting and next-generation leadership represent an important opportunity for the Church in the United States. Drawing from more than 20 years of church planting experience, Obe explains the complexity of the Latino and Hispanic church and what it takes to develop culturally relevant, multiplying churches. Obe and Greg Nettle begin by unpacking terminology like Latino, Hispanic, and Brown Church, including why these communities cannot be treated as a single culture. Obe explains the differences across countries, languages, immigration generations, and cultural experiences—and why understanding those differences matters for church leaders. Obe also shares his own journey from becoming a Christian at 17 to planting his first church at 22 and eventually helping develop Exponential Español, a Latino-led multiplication ministry created to provide Spanish-speaking pastors and church planters with resources, relationships, training, and opportunities to pursue multiplication. The conversation explores one of the biggest opportunities facing the Latino church: developing second- and third-generation Latino leaders who can reach both Latino communities and the broader culture around them. Obe describes the Latino church as a "both-and" church—Latino and American, Spanish- and English-speaking, immigrant and native-born, traditional and contemporary. Greg and Obe also discuss the challenge of transitioning leadership from first-generation immigrant leaders to U.S.-born Latino leaders. Rather than preserving one particular cultural expression of church, Obe challenges pastors to remain focused on ensuring that the gospel of Jesus continues to reach the next generation. For churches thinking about multiplication, Obe offers a practical starting point: look for Latino leaders who are already in your congregation, invest in them, and help them explore what God may be calling them to start.

We believe that it is important to build meaningful relationships with people who think and believe differently than we do. But knowing how to engage with someone from another faith (or no faith at all) without it feeling awkward, forced, or like there is a hidden agenda isn't easy. In this episode, Brent and Mike talk about the importance of having intentional conversations with people of different faiths. They share three simple practices—curiosity, listening, and sharing—that have made a powerful impact on their own relationships. Tune in to learn how you can build genuine friendships, cultivate peace, and create opportunities for honest faith conversations in your own life! 

Flipside Church turns 21 — and Pastor Karl marks the milestone by diving into Matthew 24, Jesus's teaching on the end times.Before opening chapter 24, Pastor Karl revisits the close of Matthew 23, where Jesus weeps over Jerusalem's rejection of Him — a rejection Paul later explains (Romans 11) as a partial hardening that will lift once the "fullness of the Gentiles" comes in through the global spread of the gospel. That truth anchors the church's 21-year mission of church planting, including upcoming work in Israel and Venezuela.Turning to Matthew 24, Pastor Karl unpacks Jesus's prophecy about the destruction of the temple and the signs preceding His return — false messiahs, wars, famines, earthquakes, persecution, and the "abomination of desolation." He walks through the historical weight of Herod's temple (80 years to build, destroyed within a decade of completion) and connects Jesus's words to the seven seals of Revelation 6, showing how they map onto the same sequence of end-times events.The big idea: as history moves toward Christ's return, His church must resist deception, endure persecution, and proclaim the gospel to every nation. Pastor Karl challenges Flipside not to confuse its campus with God's kingdom, but to keep its eyes fixed on the mission — reaching every nation with the gospel until Jesus returns.Looking back on 21 years of church planting (750+ churches funded and planted since 2016), Pastor Karl calls the church forward with gratitude for the past and urgency for the future: "no reserve, no retreat, no regret."Join us in person 8:00am, 9:30am & 11:00am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

God often begins gospel advance with a burden to pray for the next town.

Host Dean Weaver sits down with Richard Rieves, Regional Director of Church Planting for the EPC, to discuss how church planters are being equipped through the Incubator Training program.   Richard shares how the EPC has developed a comprehensive training system for church planters based on Tim Keller's Center Church, in partnership with Redeemer City to City. The Incubator courses take planters through a 6-8 month journey that emphasizes gospel renewal and contextualization, helping them develop a unique theological vision for their particular time and place.   Richard encourages listeners to not be afraid to learn new skills when God calls them into new things, emphasizing that we are all lifelong learners in following Jesus.   Resources:   Learn more about church planting at epcchurchplanting.com EPC website: epc.org "Why Plant Churches" by Tim Keller Future Church by Will Mancini

Church Planting, Discipleship & the Grace to Be Holy | Ken Fish, Jimmy Seibert & Joel Taylor Ken Fish and Joel Taylor welcome back Jimmy Seibert—leader of Antioch Waco and the Antioch Movement, one of the most effective church-planting movements in the Western world, and a speaker at the upcoming Luminosity conference (Nashville, Oct 1–3, 2026). Register: https://kingdomluminosity.org/Jimmy shares how the movement grew out of a full surrender as a young believer and a conviction that the local church is meant to both house and multiply the glory of God. The conversation ranges across world evangelization, why believers buy the lie that they aren't needed, and how partnering with God to reach every people group helps prepare the way for Christ's return. At its heart, it's about intimacy with God as the source of everything—"it takes God to do the work of God"—and why consecration and holiness are themselves a grace: power over sin, not just forgiveness of it.In this conversation:How the Antioch church-planting movement grew out of full surrender"A church for every 1,000 people"—and why the US is underservedWhy the enemy's great lie is that you're not neededPartnering with God to "hasten" Christ's return (Matthew 24:14)Reaching the next generation through heart, home, and shared missionDiscipleship that empowers rather than creates dependenceMaturity as taking responsibility for your own walk with GodConsecration and holiness as grace—power over sin, not just forgivenessWhy you can't set others free until you've been set freeRegister for Luminosity

Scott Lessing shares the remarkable story of planting a church inside Lorain Correctional Institution and how prison ministry can become true disciple-making and church planting. Through consistent relationships, weekly worship, leadership development, and reentry ministry, Scott and Grace Church are seeing God transform lives both inside and outside the prison. Scott serves at Grace Church, a Christian and Missionary Alliance church near Cleveland, Ohio. What began when the warden asked for something more than traditional prison ministry has grown into a church community with weekly services, dozens of volunteers, Bible studies, Alpha, Rooted, recovery ministry, baptisms, a School of Ministry, and intentional discipleship. Greg and Scott also explore the biblical foundation for this work through Luke 4:18 and Matthew 25, discussing Jesus' call to proclaim good news to the poor, freedom for prisoners, and to care for those who are incarcerated. Scott explains why the goal isn't simply to bring a church service into a prison but to build relationships and make disciples who can eventually disciple and lead others. One of the most powerful stories is of a man who spent 47 years incarcerated, completed Grace Church's School of Ministry, was released, joined the church's staff, and was preparing to return to the prison—this time to preach. The church also walks alongside people after release through employment connections, housing support, community, and continued discipleship. Scott's story challenges every church leader to reconsider what it means to go to people instead of simply expecting people to come to church. As he explains, their prison ministry has changed Grace Church itself, creating a congregation that looks more diverse, more broken, and, in his words, more like the first-century church. Resources: True Freedom Ministries — the Ohio prison ministry discussed in the episode; its current site describes ministry at Lorain Correctional Institution.

What does it mean to truly be the Church? In Ephesians 4:11–16, Pastor Matt Looloian reminds us that the Church is not simply an activity we attend or an event we add to our calendars—it is part of our identity as followers of Jesus. Every believer is both a saint and a minister, called to grow, serve, speak the truth in love, and help build up the body of Christ. Though the Church is made up of imperfect people, Jesus continues to grow and transform His people as we pursue His beautiful design together. Join us as we explore the people, purpose, progress, and priority of the Church—and why, despite our imperfections, the Church should become one of the dearest places on earth to us. Scripture: Ephesians 4:11–16

How do you define "excellence" in a church tech ministry? And when a volunteer consistently falls short of that standard, how do you actually "fire" them and find a new ministry that better suits them? In this episode, we are joined by church production veteran David Leuschner to tackle the hardest leadership conversations in ministry. We discuss the biblical definition of excellence, debate whether there should be different standards for the on-stage worship team versus the behind-the-scenes production techs, and answer the uncomfortable question: how many errors are your volunteers actually allowed to make?In this episode you'll hear: 0:00 Intro: The HouseRight Event & Toby's Lack of Taste4:30 David Leuschner (Digital Great Commission Ministries) Joins8:15 Defining True "Excellence" in Church Production14:45 How to Train Your Volunteers for Excellence21:00 The Debate: On-Stage vs. Behind-the-Scenes Volunteer Standards26:00 What Does the Bible Actually Say About Excellence?28:45 The Budget Debate: Is It Okay to Spend a Fortune on AVL Gear?30:30 Grace vs. Standard: How Many Errors Are Volunteers Allowed?35:00 The Hardest Conversation: How to Fire a Tech Volunteer41:45 Keep Sundays Running: Focus on TransitionsGet expert help and care on your next integration project with our friends at HouseRight here.  Take our survey here and you'll get the full report emailed to you December 4th!  Get more money back in your budget and more space in your closet by selling us your used gear here. Resources for your Church Tech MinistrySell Us Gear: Does your church have used gear that you need to convert into new ministry dollars?

In this episode of the Church Planter Podcast, guest host Joshua Brown sits down with Sean and Patrick from Passion for Planting to talk about church planting, residency, disciple-making, and mobilization.The conversation centers on a major shift in church planting: moving away from a consumer-driven operating system and toward churches that mobilize everyday missionaries where they live, work, study, and play. Instead of starting with programs, events, and worship services, Sean and Patrick explain why church planters need to start by becoming disciples who make disciples.They also unpack what Passion for Planting has learned after decades of helping churches plant churches, why their residency is putting a deeper emphasis on relational disciple-making, and how future planters can move from aspirational plans to actual disciple-making practice before they ever launch.Joshua, Sean, and Patrick also discuss what a virtual residency looks like, why planters do not have to uproot their families to be trained well, and how churches can become “one decision away” from reproduction.If you are discerning a call to church planting, developing future leaders, or trying to build a church that makes disciples instead of consumers, this episode will help you think clearly about your next step.Resources and Links Mentioned in this Episode:Passion for PlantingNewBreed TrainingThanks for listening to the Church Planter Podcast.

Who is Jesus according to Jesus? We are answering that question by exploring seven scandalous claims he makes in the Gospel of John, known as the "I AM" statements.In John 14, Jesus declares, "I am the way, the truth, and the life." Within each of these three words, we find something we desperately long for—something we were created for. Yet, we frequently replace these authentic longings with cheap, enticing counterfeits. These counterfeits promise fulfillment but ultimately leave us empty.In this message, we discover that while we tend to be preoccupied with our destination, what we truly need—and what Jesus offers—is a way of life that transforms both us and the world around us.

In this episode of the GoMission podcast, Mark Gillmore talks with Pastor Ty Thebeau in Edson, Alberta, about God's long work of calling, breaking, and redirecting him for gospel ministry. Ty shares how God first stirred his heart about returning to his hometown while he was serving as a missionary in Cameroon, and how years of difficulty and brokenness eventually brought him back to Canada with a deeper understanding that his identity is found in Jesus Christ alone. Throughout the conversation, Ty speaks honestly about suffering, fear, spiritual warfare, and the danger of finding identity in ministry rather than in Christ. His testimony challenges young people preparing to serve the Lord to expect their faith to be tested, to face their fears with surrender, and to trust that God uses even the darkest trials to make His servants more dependent, more compassionate, and more usable in gospel mission. Topics Discussed Ty's call from Cameroon back to his hometown of Edson, Alberta How God uses suffering to strip away self-dependence The danger of finding identity in ministry, success, or calling Why young people should expect their faith to be tested Fear as a foothold of the enemy and the need to face it honestly Learning to surrender even the worst-case scenario to God The fellowship of Christ's sufferings in the life of a believer How brokenness can prepare a person to minister to other broken people The vision for gospel witness in Western Canada Living moment by moment in availability to Jesus Key Takeaways God's call is not accidental, even when the path seems broken or confusing. The Christian life is not built on ministry identity, personal strength, or visible success, but on Jesus Christ Himself. Faith is not proven in easy circumstances; it is tested and purified in difficulty. Fear must not be ignored. It must be brought into the light, surrendered to God, and answered with faith. Suffering is not wasted in the hands of God. He uses it to bring believers to the end of themselves so that Christ's life can flow through them. The goal is not to become strong in ourselves, but to become more fully dependent on Jesus. When everything else is stripped away, the believer still has Christ, and Christ is enough. A surrendered life does not need to know every step ahead. It simply wakes up each day asking, “Lord, what do you want to do?” If you've been encouraged by this podcast, please take the time to give us a five-star rating and write a brief review.
