Christian Nightclub. Good or bad? || S2E8
4 DEC 2023 · Have you ever pondered the role of Christian nightclubs in forming a vibrant community? We sat down with our brother Will Chung, a church planter, Sanaz Mesa, Abundant Women's Director, and Jermain Baker, Creative Director to probe this question and more.
We weigh the potential benefits and drawbacks, and discuss how important it is to have a strategy for those who are attracted to this unique form of socializing.
Our chat then pivots to the challenges that young adults face in finding a church that resonates with them. Will shared his experiences in connecting with millennials and Gen Z through modern platforms such as Discord chats and dance workshops.
Finally, we ignite a conversation around the vision for a Christian club in Los Angeles, launching on New Year’s Eve. We connect with two individuals who share their divine inspiration behind the club, their visions and dreams about the space, and how they're dealing with the criticism they've faced.
This stimulating dialogue will assuredly stimulate, challenge, and uplift you in your spiritual journey.
Thank you for spending time with us! We hope you'll leave a review or comment so we can read about your personal experiences and perspective on the topics we discussed.
Let us know below if you'll be going out there on December 31st for New Years Eve!
