    FOMO, Busyness and The Death of In-Person Community /// Ep 88

    Did you forget about us? Because we certainly almost did! It's time for an EXTENDED INTRO too. Where's Mike? On this week's/month's episode of The Weekday podcast, Mike, Just, and Andy dive deep into why people have been leaving the church...and why some are now coming back. 🤔  There's some fascinating new research showing that while church attendance tanked during the pandemic, some folks are returning because they miss that sense of spiritual community. But it seems like the church has some work to do to remake itself for how people want to connect spiritually today. 💪 It seems that people these days, especially younger folks, are way more tolerant, introspective, and open spiritually than older generations. So the church has to up its game to meet their changing expectations! No more just phoning it in with the same old programs and performances every week. People want real, raw, biblical community. ⛪ But it's not all the church's fault - wider culture isn't helping either. These days our lives our CRAZY busy with work, infinite info, and FOMO dragging us in 100 directions at once. Finding time for church can be tough when Sunday morning competes with youth soccer games and work emails piling up. 😵 So where does the church go from here? How can it reinvent itself to stay vital in this complex, post-Christian, digital age? And what will spirituality look like for Gen Z and beyond? Lots of huge questions still ahead. Let us know what YOU think about why people are leaving the church, and what would bring you back, in the comments! ********** Connect with us at bayhope.tv! E-mail us: theweekday@bayhope.com

    The REAL Reason People Have Stopped Going To Church /// Ep 87

    We haven't done the weekday in longer than a month. Justin is back from a mission trip to the DR, Mike is fired up, and Andy can't remember how to run a podcast. So hang on. We're digging in to an article that is a HEAVY HITTER when it comes to the reasons people are leaving church. Through our discussion, we take various trips in and out of the church, the reasons behind "workism," leadership struggles, and how we may be able to speak into this world a little bit more. FIND THE ARTICLE HERE: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/the-misunderstood-reason-millions-of-americans-stopped-going-to-church/ar-AA1ew9dQ What about you? What do you think about our discussion?

    Is Church Growth A Healthy Thing? /// Ep 86

Thanks to all of your comments on the latest episode, we kick off the Engagement Train with our newest segment, never-before-seen-on-the-Internet: Mail Bag! And then we get into a really big topic: church growth. What is healthy church growth? Why does the dominant church growth model for large churches resemble franchising? And how can we promote a sustainable form of discipleship and Kingdom growth? All of that, plus Andy really can't figure out how to turn a topic around.  Join Mike and Andy as they dive into all of this AND MORE on this episode of the Weekday! ********** Connect with us at bayhope.tv!E-mail us: theweekday@bayhope.com ----------Like, comment, & subscribe to stay updated with our latest Bay Hope content!Plan a visit to one of our physical OR online campuses at https://www.bayhope.church/campuses Like, comment, & subscribe to stay updated with our latest Bay Hope content!

    Should Churches Be Scared Of AI? /// Ep 83

    The buzzword AI has really been part of the news for the 8 months now, so we figured it was time to talk about it. Quick and topical  But AI does NOT equal what we've been seeing in generative AI and ML (machine learning).  Should the church/pastors/church staff/congregation be scared of generative AI and machine learning? What do things like ChatGPT, Midjourney, and DALL-E mean for the future of the Gospel? And, the big question, how can we TRULY look at art in the same way again?

    What Are We Being Formed By? /// Ep 81

    There seems to be a different energy to the general church world this year. It has felt more alive and vibrant.  But inside of that vibe, there's a change that's happening. And that change signals formation. Culturally Gen Z is starting to show signs of formation that may be a bit different than we first thought it would look like. What are we being formed by? What are we being shaped by? What is the church doing today to actually help with this formation? Also, ChatGPT creates the best commercial ever. Don't believe us? Wait until the first break. IN THIS EPISODE:-Why was the Magic School Bus wrong?-ChatGPT owns both sides of every argument-Would you rather be itchy or damp?
