Brand New Church Podcast

Most people are busy… but not actually living.In this episode, we dive into something most people overlook—how the way you live your everyday life is directly connected to your faith, your energy, and your purpose.From the importance of hobbies and why they’re actually biblical, to hard conversations around health, discipline, and becoming your best self… this episode doesn’t hold back.We also tackle real spiritual questions people are asking:Is salvation really that simple?What about baptism?How do we know Jesus actually rose from the dead?What happens to children who die?This isn’t surface-level Christianity.This is about living fully alive—mentally, physically, and spiritually.If you’ve felt stuck, burned out, or just “off”… this might be the reset you need.

Something strange is happening in culture right now.In this episode we dive into a wide-ranging conversation about the world we’re living in—from the way students are discovering worship music on TikTok, to how technology, culture, and politics are shaping the next generation.We talk about the surprising places people are encountering faith, the shift from physical Bibles to digital habits, and why intentionality might actually be disappearing in the age of endless screens. Along the way the conversation moves into everything from coffee culture and podcasts in the car, to Tesla technology, Bluetooth conspiracy theories, global politics, and how media narratives shape the way we see the world.It’s one of those episodes where the conversation goes everywhere—but somehow all connects back to the bigger question:What is really happening in culture right now?If you care about faith, culture, the next generation, and the direction society is heading, this conversation will make you think.Topics in this episode include:Why students are discovering worship through TikTokPhysical Bibles vs digital reading habitsWhy the car has become people’s “thinking space”Tesla, technology, and the future of AIMedia narratives and global politicsCoffee culture and modern attention spansThe strange cultural shifts happening around us

In Episode 20 we dive into a wide-ranging conversation about faith, culture, and the strange world we’re living in.We talk about the Christian phrases people use without explaining them, why truth feels controversial in today’s culture, and how believers should think about things like authority, stewardship, and influence. The conversation also takes some unexpected turns—touching on flat earth theories, celebrity culture, politics, gambling, and the everyday debates that somehow turn into deep discussions.It’s honest, unscripted, and sometimes chaotic—but the goal is simple: pursue truth and talk about the things people are already thinking but rarely say out loud.

Episode 19 of the Brand New Podcast, this one covers an in depth discussion on Replacement Theology which is all the hype on Tik Tok right now, why we should love the USA and then hits on some things that get under Pastor Shannon's skin. We hope you enjoy this episode!

Most Christians don’t have a knowledge problem.They have an obedience problem.In this episode, we confront the uncomfortable questions:• Are we more obsessed with theological debates than actual mission?• Do we care more about being right than being ready?• Are we focused on results instead of daily faithfulness?• If there’s no hell, what exactly did Jesus save us from?We talk about eschatology, election, heaven, hell, spiritual growth, laziness, control, and why so many believers stall out after the initial fire fades.This isn’t about winning arguments.It’s about living like eternity is real.If you’ve been stuck in comfort, distracted by side debates, or checking spiritual boxes instead of growing — this one is for you.

Episode 009 is all about Christmas!

Join us as Pastor Shannon talks the true story of Christmas!

This podcast is built on the kind of conversations you have with people you actually care about — the ones that start with something light and end up going way deeper than you planned. We’ll laugh about the madness of the NCAA Playoffs, why Disney still feels magical no matter how old you get, and those late-night cravings that somehow always end with McDonald's fries. We’ll debate the greatest roller coaster in America like it actually matters… because with the right people, it does.But woven into all of that is something even more important — learning to hear God’s voice in the middle of real life. Not just on perfect days. Not just when you’re sitting in church. But in the in-between moments, the noisy moments, the fun ones, and the ones where you’re not sure what to do next.We talk about how God leads, how He whispers, how He surprises, and how you can actually tell when it’s Him. No pressure. No weird formulas. Just honest stories, honest questions, and the kind of encouragement that reminds you that God is closer than you think.If you want a podcast that feels like friends, laughter, real talk, and a gentle nudge toward Jesus — you’ll feel right at home here.

In this episode of the Brand New Podcast, Pastor Shannon O’Dell dives deep into the tension between spiritual disciplines and modern culture. From the truth about fasting in the New Testament to how the Church should engage in politics without losing its mission, this episode will challenge what you believe about faith, obedience, and leadership. 💬 Key Topics: Is fasting just an Old Testament practice or a key to spiritual breakthrough today? Why physical health and discipline matter to your spiritual life. What real obedience to God looks like in everyday areas like marriage, money, and habits. How believers should think about politics, justice, and the “separation of church and state.” Why the Church must speak up — but stay centered on the Gospel.
