    SS02 / EP20 – With all the different serving and ministry opportunities available to the 21st-century church, it can be overwhelming to navigate. Should we start this ministry/group/class because it meets x or y needs? Where’s the line between what’s a good idea for my whole church and what’s a great idea for me personally?

    A Simple Church + Deep Discipleship

    SS02 / EP19 – It’s often said that simple does not mean easy - in fact, to keep something simple is often hard work! This is also the case when it comes to discipleship in the local church. It’s pretty simple - but it’s not easy for everyone to do. Over the years, Gospel City has had a burden to deepen our discipleship while not overcomplicating it. Listen in on this episode as Pastor Mitch, Erin, and Ben talk through the simple (but not easy) discipleship process.  —Stay ConnectedWebsite: mygospelcity.orgInstagram: instagram.com/mygospelcityFacebook: facebook.com/mygospelcity

    What is a Simple Church?

    SS02 / EP18 – When Steve Jobs resumed his role at Apple in 1997 he is famously known for saying “Deciding what not to do is as important as deciding what to do.” before reducing the Apple product line by 70%. The church should be thinking the same way when it comes to the tangible ways we help our people become disciples of Jesus. There are a lot of good things we can do, so how do we decide what we should be doing? Pastor Micah sits down with Michelle, Erin, and Ben for a conversation on how discipleship strategies can and should be simple (while they may not be easy).  —Stay ConnectedWebsite: mygospelcity.orgInstagram: instagram.com/mygospelcityFacebook: facebook.com/mygospelcity

    Essential Ingredients for Corporate Worship

    SS02 / EP17 – When we gather with people on a Sunday morning, there’s an expectation that we should see every moment as worship, but some elements seem “more worshipful” than others. How do we come into church with an anticipation to worship Jesus in everything that happens during our service?  Pastors Micah, Brent, Mitch, and Jono sit down to discuss the primary recipe for corporate worship.  —Stay ConnectedWebsite: mygospelcity.orgInstagram: instagram.com/mygospelcityFacebook: facebook.com/mygospelcity

    SS02 / EP16 – Colossians 3:16 encourages us to be “singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.” It’s obvious that music and can have a deep impact in the lives of God’s people - songs are all over the Bible. So how do we navigate the vast ocean of songs that are available to us now in this modern day?

    Creativity in Church

    SS02 / EP15 – Albert Einstein is credited with saying "Creativity is seeing what others see and thinking what no one else ever thought." More often than not, the word “creativity” is reserved for artists of all different mediums. The average person would probably say, “I’m NOT creative”. So do creative elements have a place in the church? Pastors Micah and Brent sit down with Nathan Cowles - Creative Director at Gospel City Church - to unpack the WHY behind creativity and help us all see that if we’re made in the image of the Creator, we’re all creative.  —Stay ConnectedWebsite: mygospelcity.orgInstagram: instagram.com/mygospelcityFacebook: facebook.com/mygospelcity

    What is a Worshiping Church?

    SS02 / EP04 – “Worship” is often synonymous with “music” in the church, but is a worshiping church just a church that sings a lot? Our hosts help us understand a more robust definition of worship that is not limited to a certain amount of time on Sunday morning but is a lifestyle for every follower of Christ.  —Stay ConnectedWebsite: mygospelcity.orgInstagram: instagram.com/mygospelcityFacebook: facebook.com/mygospelcity

    Giving for Greater Impact

    SS02 / EP13 – Let's talk about MONEY! There's a stereotype attached to churches around always talking about and asking for money, but where did that come from? What is a tithe and is it biblical? What's the motivation to give and how do we know it's actually serving the mission of Jesus? Pastors Micah and Brent sit down with Mike Neises who serves as Chief of Staff and HR Director at Gospel City Church to dig into why giving helps us have a greater impact for the Kingdom of God. —Stay ConnectedWebsite: mygospelcity.orgInstagram: instagram.com/mygospelcityFacebook: facebook.com/mygospelcity

    Serving is Equipping

    SS02 / EP12 – If you’ve ever served in a church, you have probably been in danger of feeling like you are just a warm body filling a slot. Maybe you have even experienced a type of burnout from being scheduled so many weekends in a row, that you don’t know what it’s like to just “go to church”. As church leaders, we can be in danger of letting the needs of the program on Sundays become more important than the needs of the people under our care. But serving the church is so much more than that Planning Center request in your email inbox…it’s a spiritual discipline that corresponds with our worship. So how do we keep the main thing the main thing in serving? Our hosts discuss how helping people serve is actually a form of equipping.  —Stay ConnectedWebsite: mygospelcity.orgInstagram: instagram.com/mygospelcityFacebook: facebook.com/mygospelcity

    Groups + Studies + Classes

    SS02 / EP11 – With a church full of people at different stages in their discipleship and who all learn in different ways, how do you offer everyone the opportunity to “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 3:18)? While there is no perfect way, Gospel City has found a lot of success in focusing on three different avenues for learning that can fit everyone at any stage.

    What is an Equipping Church?

    SS02 / EP10 – The church has a responsibility not to just “get people saved” but to “equip the saints for the work of the ministry.” (Eph. 4:12)  This has led to a lot of different systems and processes that churches attempt to put people through to feel like they’re accomplishing this goal. But what does an equipped disciple look like and how does it happen best? Our hosts introduce our next segment in this episode by unpacking a few of these questions.   —Stay ConnectedWebsite: mygospelcity.orgInstagram: instagram.com/mygospelcityFacebook: facebook.com/mygospelcity

    Evangelism Stories

    SS02 / EP09 – Church leaders should recognize that we can easily find ourselves trapped in a “bubble” of only Christians around us, so we need to be intentional to get outside the walls of the church to interact with unbelievers. However, we also get to hear the stories of all the people who attend our church who walk into environments every day where the majority of people do not know Jesus Christ. This special episode features two interviews with “real” people who have lived a life of bold evangelism for decades. The encouragement and challenge we should all receive is that God will use anyone humble and obedient to share the Good News with everyone.    —Stay ConnectedWebsite: mygospelcity.orgInstagram: instagram.com/mygospelcityFacebook: facebook.com/mygospelcity

    Leading Others to Christ

    SS02 / EP08 – Living in a missional mindset will eventually lead to opportunities to lead someone to Christ – but what does that actually mean? Is it all about the words of a prayer or an emotional response? How do you know if it’s genuine? And especially with people close to you, how do you not manipulate or force it on them?

Does that mean you prioritize kids over everything in ministry? Or that the summa cum laude of Christianity is the be married and have a big family? What about singles?
