Casey and Stephen explain some of the motivation behind making a big deal of another pastor's recent message...or as he calls it, "more of a lecture" on what is the Gospel.

Pastor Stephen and Pastor Casey have a blast following up with Pastor Paula Forte! We chat about her message to Multiply Church and find ourselves not only stepping in deep wells of God's grace, but having lots of fun with one another while working it out. You are sure to find yourself laughing out loud as well!
We're back! After a longer than anticipated hiatus, we return with the first Multiply Church Resource Podcast of the year to discuss our reverse visioning for 2021, the purpose of our weekly gatherings, and even a special announcement for those who hang on till the end! Let's GO!
Far too often the church has valued professing belief over practicing the ways of Jesus. Looking at a lesser known section of the Apostle Paul’s letter to the church in Corinth, Pastor Stephen explores how the church universal can be a bolder embodiment of Jesus by carrying not just his life in our bodies, but his death as well.
This week the boys are back and discussing this season's sermon theme of Embodiment. If hearing the voice of God and hosting God's presence are going to be so critical, we figured we'd start by sharing some words that we already know God has spoken over each of us.
Pastor Sanchez walks us through the depths of embodiment. Hearing the voice of God, walking in humility, and being a servant by decentering ourselves becomes the foundational principle for us embodying Christ.
Pastor Stephen introduces us to our new series, Embodiment. What does it mean to embody Christ, hear the voice of God, and live from our gifts.
In light of the current election season, and in order to guide and guard this community, Pastor Casey took on the topic of politics and this election cycle through the lens of Romans 12:3. This is less about the "what" and much more about the "how."
We often think that storms are enemies of our rest, but we see in Mark 4:35-41 that it wasn't the storm that woke Jesus, it was fear! Don't allow your fear to be greater than your faith.
There's often confusion around what's an opportunity versus an obligation. Pastor Stephen challenges us this week to think deeply about the differences as we seek to obey and follow Jesus.
An incredibly important conversation from your pastors. Resting and living in the moment is far greater than worrying about tomorrow.
Following up on the message from Pastor Casey on Jesus being our ultimate promised land and place of rest, Pastor Stephen focuses on one specific enemy of rest. Listen in to see if this common enemy is keeping you from finding rest for your soul and what you can do about it.
The gang is back and wrapping up an incredible season of Desert Deliverance/Development as a church community. "Rest" is the word of the day amidst some fun banter and weather reports! Tune in and turn it up. We're excited for the Fall!
Pastor Casey and Pastor Stephen continuing in the discussion around managing the tension between our closeness to God with our closeness to the world around us. With this cultural moment upon us, how do we find a better way?
This week we revisit this past Sunday's message from Emily Kemmann from Safe Families for Children. Among other things we definitely wanted to give you your weather update and appropriate warnings about lightening in the summer.
Today, we wrestle with the idea of who we belong to. The narrative of Scripture reminds us that God desires for His people to understand why loyalty to Him is centered around His love for us. To whom do you belong is the question we should continue to wrestle with. Where's your loyalty?
What does it mean to trust people? This week, Pastor Casey shares the advice of Moses' father-in-law, Jethro, and how we should learn to trust people. Exodus 18!
Casey and Stephen take the mic to tackle the world's problems in order to resource the people. It's simple, but not simplistic: Trust God. Listen in and get resourced!
The historical narrative of the exodus story is one of the greatest revealer’s of God‘s character and our need for dependence on Him. This week’s message gives the Multiply Community a five part framework of this narrative for as well as ways to find hope in the desert.
On this week's podcast, we look forward and discuss the new season we believe God is leading us to.
This week, Pastors Sanchez and Casey conclude our vision rally by celebrating a new season of hope. We discuss the importance of resting, the celebration of Juneteenth, and the preparation of moving from Egypt to the Promised Land.
Pastor Stephen and Pastor Casey had to somehow make this thing happen without their buddy Pastor Sanchez this week so hopefully we did him proud. Last Sunday was a time to reflect, remember and reframe some of what we have been talking about all year, especially in light of yet another police-related shooting of a black man (Rayshard Brooks). We don't talk about these things because they are trendy, we talk about them because they are Kingdom.
In this week’s episode, Pastor Sanchez and Stephen shed some light on current pop culture, the progress of Multiply Church, and also help define holistic discipleship. Pastor Casey meanwhile rightfully sat this week out while at the beach enjoying some very much needed vacation with his family! Listen to hear about how Pastor Sanchez is helping people process our current cultural moment and providing resources for all people wanting to be a part of seeking restorative, redemptive Biblical justice.
This past weekend was a blur. Gatherings, Protests, Celebrations... and Julian joining in on the fun as we talked about it all! It Ends Now Charlotte meets Multiply Church; and they friends. Catch up on all the fun and be resourced along the way. Provocative. Energizing. Democratizing. Rich.
This week we had the opportunity to have a special conversation with George Metz from the How We Rise initiative. George is working on a Charlotte-based research project in response to the 50 out of 50 study that put Charlotte dead last in upward mobility. It was an incredible opportunity to hear about some of the work going on in our city, so listen in and get involved. Check out www.howwerise.org
The crew was back with a special guest who preached this past Sunday: Dr. Cassandra Jones. As a professor at Gordon Conwell and Executive Member of Multiply Church, we were excited to hear from Dr. Jones last Sunday and then spend an extended time on the Podcast diving deeper into her experiences and stories. You will be glad you listened!
This week the Trio were back at it again reflecting on the events of the previous week and how it had impacted their time at The Virtual Gathering this past Sunday. The text that was wrestled through spoke about turning the other cheek, but what was really on the table was resentment and the destructive power it can have over our lives in Christ.
Pastors Sanchez and Stephen recap the weekend, including stories about the decentralized prayer night from the previous Friday and a discussion on how Jesus’s words about oaths have both a personal and societal implications for those who live as citizens of the Kingdom.
Pastors Stephen and Sanchez mostly discuss pop culture and what you should be binging through all content platforms! Oh and they also dabble in how the church has weaponized a familiar passage of scripture.
In this episode Pastor Sanchez and Stephen discuss how the quarantine has provided an opportunity for people to engage with Multiply Church who may not have otherwise and look at a different perspective on Jesus’ words about the often misunderstood topic of lust.
In Matthew 5:21-26, Jesus challenges the law by highlighting that it is more beneficial for a person to reconcile their anger with a brother or sister, before bringing their gifts to him. This happens when you change your mindset and realize that reconciliation is the antidote to anger.
Pastor Sanchez and Stephen encourage you to keep staying home! And in addressing a tension we all feel, they chat about how Jesus did not come to abolish the law but did come to abolish legalism. Engaging. Educational. Emboldened.
The COVID-19 virus continues to sweep across America, but hopefully this podcast will re-source and re-direct your attention to the Kingdom God is calling us to live for. Reflections today from the full squad as they talk through this past Sunday's virtual gathering and make plans for the future.
This week Sanchez & Stephen had a chance to get back in the rhythm to resource the Multiply Church Community. We pray you are staying safe and finding ways to engage this new normal. To the extent you have specific needs, please reach out to the Pastors of Multiply Church and we will help in any way we are able. Pray for each other! We will make it through this.
We continue our coverage of COVID-19 otherwise known as the Coronavirus. Since we're a church community we figured we'd also cover down on the weekend gathering and the message delivered by Pastor Sanchez. But seriously y'all: Wash your hands!
This past Sunday was a bit unorthodox, but not for any reason that we could have planned. Sickness has been pretty rampant in our community and it got us down, but not out. Tucked in this week's podcast is a weather report, update on Coronavirus and a rundown on spiritual warfare within our community. Provocative. Informing. Rich.
This past Sunday the Multiply Church community got the opportunity to worship with The Exchange Church (https://www.maketheexchange.org). If you missed out take a minute and hear about the experience and how we see this shaping and forming our own community.
This episode will encourage your heart. Yes, the guys talk through this past Sunday, but this will be something that we refer back to and look to in the future for sure. Discussion topics: Imputed sins, Imputed Righteousness, History Lesson.
This week we did things a bit differently. We just finished up a 40 day communal fast to kick off 2020, so what better way to break fast than a community breakfast? The best part though was what happened after. Listen in to this week's podcast to find some nuggets of pure encouragement. Joyous. Encouraging. Rich.
This week the boys tackle the last part of the 3-part vision series for 2020. What does it mean to be a church that is city-minded? At some point our theology needs to move us towards proximity so how can you do that as a church? Delightful. Daring. Delicious. Rich.
This week the boys tackle part 2 of the 2020 Vision series kicking off the year. Holistic Discipleship is the heartbeat of this community so it was hard to keep this to a single podcast. Stick in there through the banter, this one has some gems in it! Compelling. Complex. Completely worth listening to!
The 2020 vision for our community includes a focus on multicultural community. Why multicultural community? What is multicultural community? How do you create multicultural community? Stephen and Sanchez discuss the importance of starting with a multicultural theology in this episode. Rich. Fresh. Riveting.
Continuing in a season of vision-casting and reminding, the boys are back in the studio and this time they brought a friend! Special guest appearance from our buddy David Rackley. Listen in as we span topics ranging from politics, movie reviews and Children's Discipleship! Enriching. Encouraging. Energetic.
Happy New Year! Or is it New Year's? Find out on this week's podcast as we talk about the things that EVERYONE is wanting to talk about. And fasting.
2 for 3 ain't bad! As we wrap up 2019, what are you most looking forward to in 2020? What changes, adjustments or additions are you looking to make in your life? Pastor Sanchez and Pastor Casey get a chance to ask these questions of each other and speak to some of the excitement that is building in the Multiply Church community as we head into 2020. Riveting. Explosive. Rich.
This week Pastors Casey and Sanchez got a chance to do a quick debrief on this past Sunday's message. What would seem like a down-the-middle message, ended up becoming a deep theological discussion (most of which didn't get recorded). Our encouragement for those that listen to this podcast is for y'all to listen back to the message from Sunday morning and process it with others. What is Salvation? What is Redemption? And what are the implications of your understanding fo both? Enjoy!
This week on the Multiply Church Resource Podcast we got to chat through the ENTIRE book of Isaiah... in 20 minutes. Sorta. We had a blast unpacking this past Sunday's gathering and the narrative of The Kingdom.
This week the Pastors of Multiply pressed the pause button to review the current season of Multiply Church and give a macro view of what God has been revealing. The hope for this session was to give a high level view of this past Sunday and point folks to the Multiply Church Sermons Podcast to get the full picture of what was discussed. Enjoy!
Continuing in this season of studying the Kingdom of God and its implications, Pastor Stephen took this opportunity to dive a bit deeper into the "ground waters". Challenging. Uncomfortable. Rich.
WARNING Incredibly uncomfortable content. The boys are back and trying to unpackaged an incredibly sensitive, difficult and important topic: RACISM. If the Kingdom of God touches everything then what should be off limits? Buckle up and stick it out to the end. Feel free to comment or let us know any questions. Riveting. Nuanced. Systemic. Rich.
This week the boyz were back having a blast talking about poverty. Heavy, but necessary, as we continue forward with this season of discovery. Clash of Kingdoms! Striking. Appealing. Rich.
Without our buddy Pastor Sanchez, Stephen and Casey were forced to forge on and tackle the non-controversial topic of Jesus and Politics! This one is RED HOT. Especially when the answer is YES and NO. Enriching. Power-packed. Engaging. Rich.
LIVE in front of a studio audience... The Multiply Church Resource Podcast! This week we move into the next portion of our season of Clash of Kingdoms and Pastor Casey setup the foundation for the next several Sundays talking about how the Kingdom of God clashes with the Kingdom of man in the realm of Justice. Enriching. Challenging. Rich.
We ALL back! In the studio and into your ears... or speakers... The gang was back at it as we landed the plane on The Art of Neighboring. Exciting. Compelling. Rich.
Pastor Sanchez preaches on the story of Mary and Martha. Luke 10:38-42 is a very important reminder of how we should treat time with Jesus and our nieghbors.
Casey decides to ride solo this week to make sure we keep y'all in the loop and RESOURCED. This past Sunday we (along with ~100 churches from around Charlotte) began the Art of Neighboring series as an extension of the Clash of Kingdoms. Everyone is asking the question: What if we took Jesus' Great Commandment literally?? Rich. Enjoyable. Monologuing.
This week we continue our discussion on the CLASH OF KINGDOMS! We missed our brother Sanchez, but had to carry on. Last week we talked through Old Testament. This week: New Testament! So what does Jesus have to say about the Kingdom?? Provocative. Inspiring. Challenging. Rich.
Pastor Sanchez gives us incredible insights to the old testament and the kingdom of God!
NEW SERMON SEASON!! This past Sunday we kicked of a brand new season for the Multiply Church community and we're excited about it... as you can tell from Stephen's level of joy pouring through this episode. We were missing Sanchez today, but hopefully carried the essence of what we're trying to lean into in this new season. Rich. Engaging. Non-Depressing. Delightful.
Today, we dive into the recent events within the community. We shared the incredible prayer night that took place this past Friday, and the conclusion of Ephesians.
This week we continued in our discussion on the Armor of God realizing more and more it probably should have been called the Armor of Jesus! It's all about identity, but we obviously got into WAY more topics than just that. Provocative. Insightful. Fantastic.
3 is ALWAYS better than 2. And this week's show is no exception. I think we're finding our stride as a trio and we love having our new Pastor Sanchez weighing in and dropping the KNOWLEDGE. Classy. Domesticated. Fun.
The boys are BACK! We got some extraordinarily big news to share. Probably won't be too much of a surprise, but we're super excited. This week we took some time to talk about the WHY behind the WHAT. Surprising. Enriching. Hilarious. Rich.
This week Casey and Stephen were missing Pastor Sanchez.. Tried to survive without him! We got to look back at the 2019 GLS that we attended with our buddies from the YMCA as well as recap the The Gathering. We hope this helps!
This week things got SO good we decided to let the tape roll so its a bit more content, but I think you'll be thankful you hung in there! Big thanks to Pastor Sanchez for his open and honest words. Buckle up. Energizing. Emboldening. Rich.
This week the dynamic duo tackle the complex, yet not complicated job of parenting our children. How do you keep your kids alive while also staying sane? And if you are attempting to follow the ways of Jesus, how does that actually impact how you raise your kiddos? Humorous. Though-provoking. Diligent. Rich.
This week was a special one... Pastor Stephen's birthday episode!!! We took this was a bit longer to reflect the passion with which we think about these things. Community is messy. Here are some of our thoughts as it relates to Multiply Church. Challenging. Motivating. Celebratory. Rich.
WE BACK!!! This week Pastor Stephen and Casey are back on the mics and excited about it. We continued to dive deeper into the theology of submission, but not without tons of laughs and about 15 pop culture references. Endearing. Witty. Rich.
Another SURPRISE guest on the show this week filling in for Pastor Casey: Nate Hughes! We are so grateful to have Nate as one of the leaders and Shepherds within this community and we know you'll love hearing his insight on this normally polarizing topic. Cutting-edge. Holistic. Provoking. Rich.
Happy Fourth of July, 2019! This week we had the pleasure of welcoming our friend Sanchez Fair back to the show after being with the Multiply Church community over this past weekend as he shared heart, insight and a lot of love. Riveting. Compelling. Rich.
This week we have something SPECIAL! With Stephen on Vaca we were lucky enough to get Sanchez Fair to jump on.. We get into it DEEP in terms of what Paul is trying to convey within the book of Ephesians (specifically chapter 4:25-32). Tantalizing. Interesting. Rich.
Do you realize you have filters that impact how you take in information? When it comes to the brain: It’s not just about what’s going in, but what’s going on... This week we take a deep trip into the power of the mind and the role it plays in our spiritual journey's towards Christ. Challenging. Compelling. Humorous. Rich.
It's OK to be where you're at. It's not OK to be OK with where you're at. This week we took a DEEP dive into something called "Stage Theory": the ability to know where you're at in your spiritual journey and hopefully where you're going. Challenging. Enriching. Deep.
This week's special guest: SANCHEZ FAIR!!! After continuing our discussion on Ephesians this past weekend, Sanchez was willing to jump on the Podcast with us and go a bit deeper into his message. Delightful. Inspiring. Rich.
This week review the ever popular topic of: Suffering! "Why did God let this happen?" "Is God mad at me?"
These questions as well as a pretty BIG announcement about Pastor Casey's new season.
This past Sunday we had one of the most inclusive discussions as over half our community decided to chime in and share what God was revealing to them through the passages of scripture. Our hope is that we move deeper and deeper into this kind of Gathering for as long as we have capacity to facilitate it. Engaging. Educational. Rich.
Story-telling is one of the least-used yet most important tools that we have as followers of Christ. He has equipped us with His story, and then He gives us our story in Him. This week we shared some stories as well as talked about why it might make sense for you to do the same. Challenging. Endearing. Rich.
This past weekend was not a milestone, but there were certainly some mile markers that we wanted to celebrate a dive a bit deeper into. We hope some of what we experienced makes its way into your ears! Provocative. Engaging. Rich.
SPECIAL GUEST ALERT!! Cedric Lundy joins Casey and Stephen this week to recap the Gathering and talk through the message he brought to the Multiply Church community. Catch Cedric on his own Podcast: Token Confessions and make sure to follow their Facebook page as well! https://www.facebook.com/Token-Confessions-733214700364006/
Happy Easter Sunday! This past Sunday we celebrated the risen Jesus (as we do every Sunday), but with an intentional focus on why things like Easter can be important to our faith. We made it to 9 Podcasts... Fun. Resilient. Rich.
This week we discuss the most amount of Scripture in about 2 months... 10 Verses! But seriously, Ephesians 2:1-10 was incredibly thick and it was fun to walk through it again. We finally made it to 8 episodes... this might be a thing!
This past Sunday the Multiply community completed the first chapter of Ephesians and finally made it to the first essential shift within the Made for More book: From more effort, to more Jesus. Indulgent. Hilarious. Rich.
April Fools! Gotcha. We missed our normal Monday rhythm in order to bring a special banter-filled episode discussing our special guest as well as the conundrum of what it means to have God "Open the eyes of our heart". Provocative. Challenging. Rich.
This past Sunday Stephen continued in our study of Ephesians and we got to hear from our buddy David Rackley on how we might better prepare to share our stories. Riveting. Provocative. And rich.
This past weekend, Movement Day Charlotte 2019 took place and we had the opportunity to share this experience with our community. Where the conversation ended up was NOT what we were expecting, but we were grateful for it.
This week Casey and Stephen recap this past Sunday's message about being chosen on purpose for a purpose. Covering everything from predestination through the promise of Abraham. Provocative. Riveting. Rich.
This week Stephen and I reflect on a powerful message brought by our friend Erick Hodge.
