C3 Church Global Podcast is built for the practical side of charismatic church leadership. It gathers pastors and ministry leaders for conversations about local churches, growth, evangelism, transition, revival, and movement life. The show is brisk and relational. Questions open the door, stories carry the weight, and the lesson usually lands in direct encouragement for leaders who are trying to build something healthy. Recent episodes show that pattern clearly. Andrew Corson reflects on starting with 12 people in Bogota, Colombia and growing through years of ministry. John Pearce, Gordon Moore, and Steve Burgess discuss leadership transitions that did not become a crisis. Alex Lee and Mattis Thielmann talk about Easter services where evangelistic outcomes mattered deeply. Sam and Jess Picken appear in a Toronto conversation shaped by conference energy, church activity, and a new album release. A movement update with Phil and Chris Pringle and Sam and Jess Pickens frames succession as a sacred milestone after decades of C3 Global leadership. Al Gordon’s revival story brings a more contemplative edge, moving from an encounter with God to the harder instruction to change the heart rather than the surface. Phil Pringle’s New Year message leans devotional, teaching blessing through the story of Balaam and prayer for peace in 2026. The evangelism episode with Trent Membrey and Marcia Percival keeps the same practical pulse, focusing on simple stories, online witness, prayer, and availability to the Holy Spirit. The show is not detached religion commentary. It speaks from inside the C3 world, using familiar Christian language with confidence and warmth. Its strongest moments come when leaders connect lived ministry stories to concrete practices: preparing a church, handing over leadership, inviting people to Christ, praying in the moment, or noticing where revival may require personal change first.
Made for: This show is for pastors, church leaders, ministry teams, and committed Christians who want leadership formation inside a clearly charismatic, evangelism-focused church context.
What sets it apart: Its strength is the mix of global movement access and ground-level ministry detail: succession announcements, regional conference conversations, church-planting testimony, revival preparation, and evangelism coaching all sit in the same family conversation.
