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.

What does it mean to lead well? In Pastor Daniel Floyd’s first message as our new lead pastor, he unpacks four commitments he is making to the Gateway family: to love us deeply, protect us faithfully, help us grow in our walks with the Lord, and lead us with humility and integrity. Drawing from 1 Peter 5 and other powerful Scriptures, Pastor Daniel invites us to discover what following the Great Shepherd’s example looks like.

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 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.

“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.

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

What should you do when you feel disconnected from God? Whether it’s crisis, busyness, or weariness (to name a few), we can easily find ourselves off-rhythm in our relationships with Jesus. In his timely message, Pastor Abram DePrang shares an encouraging and truthful reminder that our rhythms were always meant to be God’s, not our own. And when we find ourselves feeling far from Him, He knows where we are and wants to guide us into close relationship with Him.

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!
