Pastor Brian PodcastA "Sound Morsel" for the Season 6 coming soon . . . All Saints Day- "Are You Washed In the Blood?"Hey y’all! I know the new season has been late, but that has been because of some exciting circumstances in life that I can’t wait to tell you about! However, as a preview into this coming season of Pastor Brian Podcast, here is a small sound morsel of me singing a favorite hymn of rural Indiana Methodists for this, All Saints Day . . . “Are You Washed in the Blood?” (Revelation 7:9-17, Revelation 21 & 22). It is my best audio recreation of what it felt like to sing that hymn in church on All Saints Day . . . enjoy . . . and blessings!

Thus, many folks, very politely, through email and in-person, asked when the next episode was comi...

2020-07-3008 minPastor Brian PodcastSUPPLEMENTAL- Drive-In Communion at Gary Church- Sunday, July 26th, 2020We pray the Lord is blessing you this weekend! This is a Supplemental Episode made for the Gary Church congregation as they take Holy Communion in their vehicles from the parking lot. Because of COVID-19 in Wheaton, IL (and the rest of the greater Chicagoland area) we are unable to meet in groups of larger than 10 indoors. This means Gary Church hasn’t had Communion since the 2 weeks before Easter. Thus, we are trying this as a way to gather and receive the sacrament of The Lord’s Supper while “Doing No Harm.” Since all families are in our individu...

2020-07-0610 minPastor Brian PodcastSHOW NOTIFICATION- This Coming Week and the upcoming Season 2- Monday, June 29th, 2020Hey y’all!!! I’m Brian, host of the Pastor Brian Podcast. We began this podcast with a simple goal- to help people pray. The original idea was to do one podcast a week that people could use daily.

Well, COVID-19 happened and during the lock-down we could make unique daily podcasts. The pandemic actually helped us see a major flaw in the original idea . . . if you use a podcast once, your form...
