Gateway Church's Podcast

What’s the secret to unshakeable joy? In our new series Happy, but Hollow, Pastor Daniel teaches about the “Barriers of True Joy.” Real joy isn’t about having perfect circumstances—it’s about how you see them, what you’re living for, and whom you’re trusting. Even amidst hardships, we can live with joy, humility, and a steadfast faith in Christ!

Did you know Jesus has us on a mission? And it has to do with His heart for every person in every nation. We’re celebrating God’s heart for the nations with Global Impact Weekend and an incredible reminder from Pastor Daniel as he concludes our Let’s Go series on evangelism. Jesus came to seek and save the lost—and we’re invited to join Him! Empowered by the Holy Spirit, we can share the gospel and make disciples from our neighborhoods to the nations. God’s story is still unfolding, and He’s calling us to step in as workers for the harvest.

The new lead pastor shares heartfelt gratitude for the warm welcome from the community. He outlines four significant commitments to nurture and protect the congregation. Drawing from Scripture, he emphasizes deep love, faithful protection, spiritual growth, and leadership grounded in humility and integrity. The conversation explores what it means to follow the example of the Great Shepherd, highlighting the importance of commitment and community in the faith journey.

David Blease, a Pastor at Gateway Church and an advocate for the Jewish community, delves into the significance of Israel within God's redemptive plan. He explores the distinct yet unified roles of Jews and Gentiles in Christ, emphasizing love and support for the Jewish people. Blease tackles misconceptions about Jewish identity, shedding light on Jesus' disciples and the early church. He passionately advocates for a deeper connection with God through prayer and relationship-building, highlighting God's enduring love for Israel.

What if the key to reaching others with the love of Jesus is waiting just outside your comfort zone? In our new series Let’s Go, Charlotte Gambill invites us to move beyond what’s comfortable and step into action. Using the story of the good Samaritan, she shows how we’re called to love with compassion, build real connections, and stay committed to helping others, even when it costs us something. It’s a reminder that following Jesus isn’t passive—it’s a go-and-do kind of life.

“What is my purpose in life?” So many people are searching to answer this question. What if your purpose isn’t just found in who you are—but also in who you’re with? Pastor Joakim continues the Pillars series, exploring how we are created in the image of a God who invites us to live fully as individuals and as part of a community. From your personal salvation and calling to the collective strength and formation of the Church, both the “me” and the “we” are essential to a balanced, Spirit-led life.

What is baptism really all about? Water baptism is a way of going public with your faith—an outward sign of the inner change Jesus has made in your life. When you’re baptized, you’re saying, “I belong to Him.” It doesn’t save you, but it boldly shows you’re all in—living a new life in Christ and identifying with His death, burial, and resurrection.

Lisa Harper encourages the Gateway family as she continues our Pillars series with a special message about communion.

Feeling disconnected from God? The discussion dives into the importance of aligning our life rhythms with divine rhythms. Pastor Abram DePrang offers insights on restoring that connection through active faith and introspection. He humorously reflects on location-sharing as a modern twist on maintaining relationships. Exploring the impact of sin on our spiritual lives, he encourages listeners to seek fulfillment beyond materialism. Join in for a heartfelt reminder that there’s always a pathway back to a close relationship with God.

Have you ever wondered what the baptism of the Holy Spirit is all about? Pastor Joakim Lundqvist ends our Empowered series with a message reminding us that we always have access to more with Him! We have a great Helper that will come alongside us so we can do His work, grow in our relationships with Him, and remember that God can do many things through us and with us!
