24/7
The theaterchurch.com podcast passed a significant milestone last week. We started podcasting our weekend messages in July. The third week of September we crossed the 10,000+ visitor threshold.
I know the New York Times article was the primary catalyst, but I'm still shocked at how quickly the podcast is growing. We're now averaging between 80-100 subscriptions per day! At that rate, we'll have more than 25,000 subscribers in less than a year.
Acts 2:47 has been on my heart the last few days: "And each day the Lord added to their number those who were being saved."
I've always dreamed of pastoring a church where this Acts 2:47 was reality.
For what it's worth, look at the chapter and verse--2:47. Remove the colon. Add a slash between the 4 and 7. And you get 24/7.
Podcasting is a 24/7 ministry!
People can listen to a message anywhere, anytime. It's like a sermon with TIVO.
Podcasting has totally changed my preaching. While I'm preaching to our congregation I can visualize people listening to the message while they are jogging around the neighborhood or commuting to work or working out at the gym.
It's just cool to know that we're impacting people that we'll probably never meet this side of eternity. If we can change the eternal trajectory of one life it's worth all of the time and effort that goes into digital discipleship.

Wow. That's pretty incredible!
Keep casting those pods! Who knows what or who you may catch...
I say a YAY to that because I recently forwarded The Game of Life series - Fall In Love Get Married to a friend who's been struggling in a relationship.
God spoke, that doesn't mean everything's ok but some action is taking place.
