How Do I Engage the City?

In this episode of the New Churches podcast, host Tony Merida is joined by Vergil Brown and Jeff Medders to tackle a crucial question for church planters: How do I faithfully engage my city with the hope of the gospel? As part of a season focused on the practical “how” questions of church planting, this conversation explores the essential heart shift that must take place in a planter—moving from simply leading a church to living as a missionary in their context. The discussion offers encouragement on personal evangelism, cultivating meaningful relationships, and proclaiming Christ with clarity and compassion. The guests also provide practical coaching on identifying domains of influence, forming wise community partnerships, and serving the city without losing gospel focus. Listeners will come away with biblical vision, practical strategies, and fresh encouragement for engaging their city with intentionality and hope. (00:24:01) 1st question: How can a planter think and act like a missionary? (08:29:19) 2nd question: What’s your best advice and encouragement on how to evangelize? (22:41:00) 3rd question: How do you find your domains of influence and wise partnerships? Please subscribe to the podcast and leave a rating and review on iTunes.

Season 1, Episode 9: The Silent Scandal

So far, in this podcast, we’ve looked at various ways the church’s credibility has been harmed by a lack of consistency between our beliefs and our behaviors. These are the big issues that make headlines, that draw attention, that spark conversation. But what if there’s a problem so prevalent, so pervasive, so all-encompassing that we have a hard time even seeing it? What if a church filled with Christians quietly devoted to the American Dream is the silent scandal of the church? On this episode of Reconstructing Faith, join Trevin Wax as he explores how the church can adopt disciplines that mold and shape hearts that chase a bigger dream – the dream of God’s kingdom, announced by Jesus Himself.

How Do I Cast Vision?

In this episode of the New Churches podcast, host Noah Oldham is joined by Tony Merida and Adam Muhtaseb to address one of the most frequently used—and often misunderstood—ideas in church planting: vision. As part of a season focused on the “how” questions of church planting, the conversation explores what vision truly is, how a planter faithfully casts vision, and why clarity and consistency matter more than creativity alone. The discussion also dives into the practical work of writing vision and values, as well as the role of a church planting prospectus—what it should include, what it should avoid, and how it serves planters as they raise support, recruit a team, and invite others into the mission. Listeners will walk away with biblical grounding, seasoned counsel, and practical tools for leading others toward a shared, God-given future. (00:32:14) What is vision and how do you cast it? (12:26:00) What advice do you have on writing vision and values? (17:44:23) What needs to be in a prospectus? Please subscribe to the podcast and leave a rating and review on iTunes.

From topics like Christ’s incarnation to the COVID-19 pandemic, listen in to discover how your presence impacts the life and culture of the local church. In This Episode, You’ll Discover: The pros and cons of online streaming How God’s presence is encountered through physically gathering Ways to combat the entertainment-driven consumer mentality of the modern age Why gathering is more than just a Western interpretation of Scripture How to “read the room” on your family conversations within the body of Christ Helpful Resources: Interested in learning more? Check out our Church Planting Primer. Are you ready to enroll in our Church Planting Masterclass? Please subscribe to the podcast and leave a rating and review on iTunes. Sharable Quotes (#NewChurches): We not only have a new Father, but a whole new family through adoption into the gospel. I not only get to call God “Abba Father,” but I get to call those who look and have radically different backgrounds than me my brothers and sisters. — Tony Merida The senior pastor and worship pastor are not leading worship; they’re the lead worshipers. So, don’t sit in a green room. Be engaged in every moment of worship because you want your people to see that gathering together matters. — Vance Pitman Jesus didn’t just Zoom from heaven and tell us what to do, but He incarnated Himself and lived among us. The Word became flesh. We are embodied beings, and our faith is best lived out in embodied ways. — Tony Merida Church is not an event you attend or watch; it’s a family to which you belong. So many of the “one anothers” in the New Testament cannot be lived out apart from fellowship, community, and gathering together. — Vance Pitman Don’t get so locked in on Planning Center that you don’t leave room for the Holy Spirit of God to move and redirect your time of gathering. — Vance Pitman The post Renewing the Importance of the Gathered Church appeared first on New Churches.

Season 2, Episode 2: The De-Churching of America

In the United States, we are experiencing the largest and fastest religious shift in the history of our country. Recent research shows about 15 percent of American adults — that’s 40 million people — have stopped going to church, and all of this, within the past 25 years. It’s a drop that has affected every region in the country, every theological tradition, every age group, every ethnicity, every education level, every income bracket. You might look at the data and assume that we’re headed for a non-religious, non-spiritual kind of culture in the next thirty years. But the religiously unaffiliated—the fastest-growing religious demographic in the United States—are often still religious in personal and privatized senses, only that their religious identities are in flux, mixing and matching various practices. On this episode of Reconstructing Faith, join Trevin Wax as he discusses what rebuilding looks like in the aftermath of this massive cultural decline in churchgoing.

I Post, Therefore I Am

Digital technologies have woven a complex web that alters our perceptions and interactions. We think of ourselves differently now, and we experience life differently than 20 years ago. How does this shift, this digitization of the self, affect our understanding of what it means to be human? In this environment, spiritual formation will have to be, in some ways, counter-formation. An alternative to the digital habits and assumptions that form us, often unthinkingly, in machine-like dehumanizing ways. Renewal will require us to ask hard questions about who we've been, who we are, and who we're becoming. On this episode of Reconstructing Faith, join Trevin Wax as he asks: How does the digital age shape, inform, or deform our understanding of discipleship and spiritual growth?

Season 2, Episode 1: Sledgehammers Don't Build Anything

The continuing decline of institutional trust represents a seismic shift in our culture and society today. Some of that distrust is warranted. In season one, we looked at the credibility crisis facing the church on several fronts. We’ve considered the rot that’s in the church—rot that needs to be removed. But some of our institutional distrust comes from an overly idealistic expectation of what institutions can provide, and from the acids seeping into all areas of our culture, slowly dissolving the structures of the past. On this episode of Reconstructing Faith, join Trevin Wax as he asks the question: how do we rebuild in the aftermath of so much institutional turmoil and destruction?
