The Holy District Podcast

Allentown Christmas Reflection

The Holy District says Merry Christmas and Blake reflects on how God shows up for those who are in the Christmas spirit and for those who might not be feeling it this year. 

Advent with The Holy District | Week 4

We are in the fourth and final week of our Advent series! Kevin Goodearl joins us on the podcast to talk about Joseph and how adaptable he was through finding out he would be a dad to the coming Messiah! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from The Holy District.

Advent with The Holy District | Week 3

Do you ever feel like an outsider and not quite sure how you fit into God’s story? Our friend, Jon Baillie comes on the podcast to chat about the Wisemen and their story. How did they hear about the birth of Jesus? Why were they included in the nativity? What gift did Jesus offer to them? Join us for Advent Week 3 as we talk about their journey from a Far East land to meet Jesus.

Advent with The Holy District | Week 2

For the second week of this Advent series, we invited our friend Megan Goodearl to join us on the podcast to discuss all things, Mary. Megan gives us a unique perspective as a brand new mom. What must have Mary felt to know she was giving birth to a Savior? Did this immediately give her purpose? Listen to hear Megan's ups and downs since giving birth and how Mary inspired her this Christmas. 

Advent with The Hoy District | Week 1

In the next four Sundays of Advent, you will hear from some of our Holy District team in Gilbert on how the coming of Jesus has changed their lives. Each week, we will focus on a Bible character from the Christmas story that has inspired us to live differently. First up... Brooke & Dan kick us off by discussing the shepherd's curiosity to meet Jesus. 

The Holy District | Thanksgiving Meditation

Thanksgiving is a day to slow down in the midst of an already busy holiday season. Today, we want to take you on a journey to reflect on gratitude through Psalm 136. Grab your bible, find a quiet spot, make yourself a cup of coffee, and Happy Thanksgiving from The Holy District.  

Future Church: Week 4 - Gilbert

We end this podcast series by imagining where the church is headed in the future. The Henry's and The Norton's all sit down to discuss thinking creatively and engaging the community. Jesus is on the move in the local church across our whole world and every one of us gets to be a part of it! 

Future Church: Week 3 - Gilbert

The modern church movement helped to make the Bible relevant and create age-based ministries to help people follow Jesus. At the same time, there are some “warts” in this church era that we wrestle with. Brooke, Daniel, and Ericka consider the ups and downs of the modern church and the impact it had on those who follow Jesus. You'll hear us talk about megachurches, worship culture, ministry for kids/teens, and what we want to adapt to make the future of the church better!

Future Church: Week 2 - Gilbert

How did the Church go from small persecuted communities to cathedrals and institutions? Where did the Bible come from? And how do these traditions affect us today? Listen as Ericka, Blake, and Daniel dive into the Medieval church and what we can learn about how to do church better into the future. 

Future Church: Week 1 - Gilbert

This week we dive into our conversation on the Future Church. But in order to do that we have to start at the very beginning. Join Blake, Brooke, and Dan as they discuss the Early Church.
