Truly childish, metaphors like Nutella, watching video games to learn how to play ping-pong, and ridiculous waste of time, but do not drive us anywhere near to God and watching an 18 second TikTok video on Weather, Helen Keller in fact, existed or not. She did, by the way.

I really wish that a new podcast was released everyday. This crew of people really loves Jesus and are so faithful to Him and His people. On multiple occasions through their gifts of the spirit series I would find myself weeping because I was hearing the Holy Spirit speak to me. Love you guys! Even though I’m 3000 miles away and will realistically never be able to attend your service, I’ll for sure keep listening!!

I still listen to them. As others have said it’s a gift. Thank you for providing these resources.

40 days has been a gift for my husband and I. Thank you 💜

So grateful for the teachings and encouragement to live out the way of being a follower of Jesus !

Thank you so much for the 40 days morning and evening podcast. It has become such a beautiful part of my day.

I listen to your podcast all the way in sunny Florida and find the teaching so very rich and comforting. I’m forever grateful for Bridgetown Church and your amazing teaching team!

Tyler (the main pastor) is a big part of the 24/7 prayer movement while prayer is commendable this movement has some major flags associated with it… 🚩 Bridgetown Church is hosting a prophetic prayer training teaching Jan 10 2024 to hear the training how to Holy Spirit on behalf of others. 🚩 Instead of a biblical understanding of prophecy, that is, declaring the truth that God has revealed, International House of Prayer essentially views prophets as Christian psychics, with prophetic hotlines, prophetic readings, and an emphasis on personal prophecy. Many have been led astray by those claiming to be apostles and prophets with a “word from the Lord.” There have been many reports of spiritual abuse and prophetic manipulation within the International House of Prayer movement. This misunderstanding of the gift of prophecy leads to another area of concern. The International House of Prayer has an extreme over-emphasis on the miraculous gifts of the Spirit. Whether full cessationism is accepted or not, their claims regarding the gifts of the Spirit do not at all agree with what the Bible presents. Please read Counterfit Kingdom by Holly Pivec and their new book Reckless Christianity- The Destructive New Teachings and Practices of Bill Johnson, Bethel Church, and the Global Movement of Apostles and Prophets.

The women & elders lectures have been outstanding. Thank you for doing the hard work.

I’m based in Alabama and started listening around January of this year & it’s been such a gift. I love learning from Tyler (and all the teaching pastors)! These teachings have been a balm for me in many ways.

I am so thankful for finding this weekly sermon- (I’m thinking it was through a book of John Mark Comer during Covid )- i love the depth, the challenges, the teachings. Makes me want to live in Portland! May Tyler continue to bless and I will continue to share. So glad I found y’all ❤️

I am a fan. let me say this, this church & teaching staff is gifted. I look forward and geek out about what I get to hear. Blessed and anointed teachers by Yah himself! I share every episode to someone I know who could use the exhortation or the impactful teaching. No matter the denomination you are or a practiced if The Way… these podcast will reach you with the Truth & the Love of the Father!

I have never taken the time to write a review before. I have spent my life searching for a pragmatic sensible reasonable approach to faith. There seems to be a dichotomy that exists in this quest for a spiritual realm in a practical world. I was bombed when John Mark left Bridgetown. I was floored by my surprise of how good Tyler was for my spiritual journey. I hope one day to make it to Bridgetown to introduce myself personally to Tyler. His humble love for Christ is inspirational to me in a broken world.

These teachings are the best I’ve ever heard, and I’ve spent my whole life in church. The world needs more Pastors like John Mark Comer and Tyler Staton! So grateful for this podcast.

My husband and I used to attend Bridgetown when we lived in Portland. We’ve since moved away to live near family as we raise our daughter, and Bridgetown’s teachings continue to be a lifeline for us and foundational in learning how to follow Jesus in a world that doesn’t align with our values. Following Jesus means you’re going to be countercultural, and you’re going to feel like a stranger in a strange land. This has been true for us in both progressive, secular Portland and the culturally Christian American south, where we now live. Bridgetown’s teachings take a biblical, Christ-centered approach rather than a political or ideological one. I’m so thankful for you, Bridgetown team! Also if you like these teachings, I recommend the Rebuilders podcast and the Intentional Parents podcast.

I’ve listened to every episode, love it.

This is a church that submits to the Kingdom of God more than the politics of the day. Would love to join this community if I lived in Portland. Hard to find this kind of love of King Jesus in Texas.

Listen and repent

Mark has gone WOKE and that’s not a good thing. Stop trying to align scripture w the culture of today. Such a bummer what’s happening to our churches under the guise of Jesus.

I soak up this podcast like a plant that hasn’t been watered. my experience for the last few years with people saying they are Christians left me dazed and disappointed and while I still loved Christ, I looked at Christians with a side eye. I stumbled on this podcast and wow!!! Every sermon Resonates with my heart. Real recognizes real!

I’m so encouraged by this church, their mission, and their love for Christ. I absolutely love these sermons and please, please, please bring back the daily. Those are the best to start your day.

Anointed is the best word I could use to describe this church. They make you want to move to Portland just to be a part of their community. The sermons have changed my walk with Christ and I could not be more grateful for this podcast! Bridgetown is a truly special church.

I used to really enjoy listening to these podcasts. John Mark has a lot of knowledge to impart but unfortunately has fell into believing the lies of the media this past year. He claims to be a centrist, but that only means you trust the lies of BLM Marxism and believe that police are targeting black men in the streets. Liberal ideologies are not aligned with the Bible no matter how much of a “centrist” you claim to be. Praying for a revival in our churches.

The Daily’s were one of the highlights of this past year for me. Thank you for putting in the time and energy to putting them out. I miss them a lot but also really enjoy your sermons!

This is amazing. Thank you.

I have been unbelievably blessed by the teaching that comes from this terrific congregation. Thank you, Bridgetown, for bringing such a rich, insightful, and fresh perspective on what it means to follow Jesus in the United States today.

Bye Bye from East Tennessee. Thank you. You have taught me much as you pointed me, and others to Jesus. I’ve enjoyed pressing into Jesus with your leadership, love and peace. May God Bless all of you, Bridgetown, as you gather in your new building (finally). I’m SO happy for you. Hugs (that’s what we do in East TN). Stay encouraged.... Stay slowed down. ... Stay in the Son.

Thank you so much for the daily inspiration! My heart is heavy that they are coming to an end. It has been such a blessing and I have always looked forward to listening while I take long walks after work in South Carolina. I just really appreciate being able to listen. God bless you and your church!

Your Bridgetown Daily additions to this podcast have been such a blessing each day, especially during the pandemic. I find them an extremely helpful combination of Bible centered meditation and personal self care practice that has truly refreshed my soul. So, thank you!

I have been listening to this podcast daily as part of my quiet time and I’m so thankful for it. Thank you to everyone who put this together. It’s such an encouragement to go wider and deeper into my walk with God.

My favorite church podcast, but please fix episode 563, it cuts out a lot and seems like a very important message there that I don’t want to miss out on!

Consistently this podcast has excellent teachers who craft beautiful, in-depth, thought provoking and educated teachings.

I absolutely love this podcast. Such great messages that really dig deep and aren’t afraid to address the big issues that so many avoid. I have incredible respect for the leaders who make this happen week after week! My one and only complaint is that there are HUGE variances in volume between podcasts. Some podcasts are so quiet that I have to max the volume on my phone and Bluetooth speaker to hear it, but sometimes it’s loud enough that I have my phone at 50% volume. When the former runs into the latter, it’s really not a fun experience (especially at 4:30am and I’m trying not to wake up my family).

So thankful for this podcast and the leadership that creates it. The transition teaching is a must, the morning and evening reflections were great, overall a worthwhile investment of time to renew your mind and tender your heart. I thank God for Bridgetown. May He continue to pour His blessing on the work.

Early in the spring of this year, someone I follow on Instagram shared a screen shot of a podcast called Bridgetown Daily. The episode was about breath prayers. I was immediately intrigued and haven’t stopped listening since. John Mark, Bethany and all the incredibly kind, gentle, wise, thoughtful leaders at Bridgetown became like my shepherds during Covid when my own home church, although gospel-centered, was focusing on facts, data and trying to get everyone back to church ASAP. Would Bridgetown consider planting a church in Omaha, NE please?! (Kidding, not kidding) The episode on holy uncertainty had me weeping in my kitchen. The episode on Psalm 23 from this spring, was on repeat pretty much daily for weeks. Thank you for this podcast. It has truly been a gift to me and the family and friends I have shared it with.

The morning and evening meditations were a lifeline to me during the early months of the pandemic!! Now I’ve branched out and listen to John Mark’s sermons over and over. I live in rural Arkansas and love my small African-American church, but my pastor here is a PREACHER, and John Mark is a TEACHER, and I need both! May God bless Bridgetown!

Thanks Bethany for bringing the word! I love that I can count on Bridgetown for solid theology and preaching on singleness!

Thank you for addressing hard things. You have been part of me learning to examine myself!

The Bridgetown daily, truly, is what kept me sane during quarantine. Thank you so much Bridgetown staff for the work you put in, the blessing has been exponential, and your effort is not unnoticed. God has revealed Himself in such astounding and beautiful ways through the work you've put in. I can’t say thank you enough.

This has been so life-giving for me! I am a marital and family therapist, so I spend a lot of time in the world of emotion. I am so thankful for a church/podcast that is integrating emotion/meditation/spiritual discipline with their theology. Unfortunately, it is often overlooked in our western version of Christianity. Also, LOVE that they are daily and short. Currently nursing my baby and listening before my big kids get up. Such an encouragement! Thank you!

Absolutely love each of these daily devotions - I look forward to them and re-listen to them all regularly - thank you for all that you do to make these possible!!

I am so grateful for this podcast! I live in Seattle and have 2 busy kids, and these simple audio teachings or guided prayers/meditations on Scripture have given me guidance as I seek to commune with Christ but don't always know how. Especially in such a difficult global time, having some biblical leadership guide me as I seek God in my home has been SO helpful.

My favorite podcast! I listen almost daily and even re-listen to sermons I’ve played before. Such wisdom in the Simplicity series and the Rule of Life at the end of 2019. I practice Sabbath now and have learned to manage my life and connection to the Father better than I ever have. Love the genuine desire to become disciples of Jesus!

been loving morning / evening 💯 are these worship tracks accessible anywhere?!?!?! they’re sooo goood

Enjoying these from Denver! The perfect lengths and balance of straight scripture, commentary, and meditation/stillness. Thank you guys for making this!

Thank you for doing this! Listening from VA and this has been a daily encouragement!!

the daily podcasts are how i start every day! they are so full of wisdom & encouragement—inviting me into knowing jesus more & wanting to become more like him! please don’t ever stop with the bridgetown daily 😂🤗

I heard Annie F Downs speak of this podcast & was instantly nudged to check it out. I’ve been hooked ever since! So encouraging! It grounds me, gets my heart in the right posture towards God!

High level of value and quality! Always grounding, encouraging and creates a sense of depth for the spirit to explore! Thank you!!

I so appreciate the humility and depth that comes out of these episodes. Very contemplative and thoughtful look at our day to day walk with Jesus. Great way to start my day.
