    The Church Size Distraction

    The church-size debate resurfaces like clockwork. Every few years, it makes another lap around the evangelical world and we all jump back into our corners. “Bigger is better.” “Smaller is deeper.” “Mega reaches cities.” “Micro builds community.” We chase metrics. We defend models. We argue strategy as if the Kingdom of God rises or falls on square footage and seating capacity. But here’s what I’ve seen over and over again, across multiple nations and cultures: you can hide in a crowd of 5,000 just as easily as you can hide in a living room of 12. Size doesn’t automatically produce depth. And intimacy doesn’t automatically produce transformation. The conversation feels strategic and intelligent, but it often allows us to debate something measurable while avoiding something far more confronting. The real issue isn’t whether your gathering looks like a stadium event or a family reunion. The real issue is what actually happens to people when they show up. Are they being equipped? Or simply hosted? Paul didn’t write to the Ephesians about optimizing formats or refining attendance analytics. In Ephesians 4, he described apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers doing one central thing: equipping the saints for the work of ministry. The leadership gifts were never meant to perform ministry on behalf of the church while everyone else watched. Their role was to prepare the Body to carry the mission. The word Paul used—katartismos—is rich with meaning. It describes setting a bone back into place or mending a torn net so it can function again. It’s about restoring something to full strength and preparing it for purpose. That’s the image he chose to describe what leaders are supposed to do for believers. This reframes the entire discussion. The question is not how impressive the gathering looks or how intimate it feels. The question is whether people are becoming spiritually functional—ready to serve, ready to go, ready to build up the Body in love. Maturity can emerge in an arena. It can also emerge in a basement. And both settings can just as easily produce spectators instead of disciples if equipping is absent. If we don’t return to that mandate, we’ll keep arguing about size while neglecting substance.

    This is a Move of God

    We're waiting for fire from heaven. God is waiting for us to be moved with compassion. Every time Jesus performed a miracle, healed the sick, or fed the multitudes, Scripture reveals the same catalyst: "He was moved with compassion." Not strategy. Not anointing. Not a scheduled move of the Spirit. Compassion. What if the move of God we've been crying out for begins the moment we allow our hearts to break for the person right in front of us? In this teaching, Glenn Bleakney unpacks the forgotten key to Kingdom power—how being moved with compassion isn't just an emotional response, it's a move of God flowing through you. When you weep with those who weep, when you stop to see the one everyone else walks past, when your heart is stirred to action—that IS the supernatural in motion. The move of God you're waiting for might be waiting on you.

    Maintenance Mode Is Killing Your Faith

    Ever felt like your faith looks great on Sunday but flatlines by Monday? You’re not alone—and it’s not a motivation problem. It’s a training problem. In this episode, we expose the maintenance mode Christianity that keeps believers busy but powerless, informed but untransformed. We dive into why most church systems excel at managing believers instead of mobilizing them, and why God isn’t waiting to move—He’s waiting for prepared people. You’ll hear about: Why the Church has been building fences instead of digging wellsThe missing pieces of formation most Bible colleges avoidHow “head, heart, hands, and hearing” changes everythingWhy revival isn’t delayed in heaven—it’s bottlenecked on earthAnd a bold, disruptive approach to training believers to actually live sent If you’re tired of sermons that inspire but don’t activate… If you know there’s more than spiritual maintenance… If you’re ready to re-dig the well and become a source of living water— This conversation is for you.

    Heaven's Credentials

    Glenn Bleakney unpacks Acts 2:22—Peter's bold Pentecost declaration that Jesus of Nazareth carried heaven's unmistakable endorsement. Three words frame this divine authentication: miracles (dunamis—raw power), wonders (events that stop you in your tracks), and signs (supernatural signposts pointing beyond themselves). Together, they formed God's public testimony that this carpenter from Nazareth spoke and acted with divine authority. Glenn traces this theme through Hebrews 2, Romans 15, and the prophetic visions of Isaiah, revealing a consistent biblical pattern: the gospel comes not in word only but in demonstration of the Spirit's power. Miracles aren't appendices to the message—they're integral to it, showcasing dominion over sin, sickness, and spiritual darkness. The Father is raising up a people who will move beyond passive belief into active partnership with Him to confirm the Word with signs following.

    15,000 Churches Are Closing — But This Might Be a Divine Reset

    Headlines say 15,000 churches in the U.S. are closing — and it sounds like a crisis. But what if it’s not decline… what if it’s pruning? In this video, we unpack a provocative perspective from Glenn Bleakney that reframes church closures not as the death of Christianity, but as a necessary reset. Drawing from research, Scripture, and the practices of the early church, we explore why institutional models are fading, what’s actually growing on the “green edge” of the Church, and how leaders can respond with faith instead of fear. This is a conversation about discipleship over programs, fruitfulness over attendance, and courage over nostalgia. The question isn’t whether change is happening. The question is: will we build what’s next?
