Gateway Church's Podcast

Is Israel still central to God’s plan? Pastor David Blease continues our “Let’s Go” series by sharing how God’s heart for the Jewish people echoes throughout the Scriptures and continues today. Just like male and female are united but distinct in marriage, Jew and Gentile are united in Jesus—each with a unique role. As Gentile believers, we’re called to love, honor, and point Israel back to their Messiah.

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!

What does living a Spirit-filled life look like? (Spoiler: it’s about who we are, not what we do!) Continuing our Empowered series, Dr. Derwin Gray shares an important message about the Holy Spirit. He reminds us that, as believers, we were never meant to earn God’s love, strength, and identity—we were made to live from it!

Have you ever felt like you don’t belong in God’s family or that your past disqualifies you from receiving His love? Pastor Mark Jobe continues our Empowered series with a powerful truth: you were never meant to live as a spiritual orphan. Through Christ’s Spirit, you are not only qualified—you are chosen, forgiven, adopted, and accepted!

Dr. Megan Fate Marshman, a passionate teacher of the Word, inspires listeners with the powerful reminder of God's ongoing presence in our lives. She discusses the significance of prayer during Pentecost, illustrating how the Holy Spirit continues to empower us today. Through relatable metaphors like cups and water, she emphasizes viewing Christianity as a transformative relationship rather than a mere religion. Ultimately, Megan calls for embracing divine love to spark personal change and emphasizes our roles as Christ's hands and feet in the world.
