June 03, 2025 Making Church Irresistible – With Justin Elam
Why do so many churches share the same mission—to make disciples—but approach it in ways that often fail to connect with those outside their walls? In this episode, we talk with Justin Elam, Director of the Irresistible Church Network, about what it means to design churches with outsiders in mind. He shares how the Network equips churches to create environments that are welcoming, engaging, and built to reach people who might not already be part of the club.

A lot of these were centered in DFW, which happens to be the same area where the Rebranding Christianity team lives and works. In this podcast, we talk about what we can learn from pastoral failings and abuse, celebrity church culture, and the bigger-than-you-might-think pockets of hope in church leadership.
