SPEAKER_00: Now let's get started.
SPEAKER_01: Hello, Celebration Family, and welcome to the Celebration Baptist Church Podcast.
SPEAKER_01: My name is Katrina McMillan, and I'm the Director of Communications here at Celebration.
SPEAKER_01: I want to take just a few minutes to tell you what you can expect from this podcast, a little about who we are, and most importantly, how this podcast can help you stay connected to God throughout your week.
SPEAKER_01: At Celebration Baptist Church, our mission is simple: connect people to God and others.
SPEAKER_01: And that's really why we're launching this podcast.
SPEAKER_01: We know Sunday morning is only one part of your week.
SPEAKER_01: So whether you're driving to work, heading to school, working around the house, or just looking for something worthwhile to listen to, we want to give you biblical teaching, encouragement, and practical conversations to help you continue growing in your faith.
SPEAKER_01: And we're going to have something new for you almost every day of the week.
SPEAKER_01: Every Monday, we'll kick off the week with drive time devotionals, a short five to ten minute look at scripture to help you get your school or work week started with your focus in the right place.
SPEAKER_01: On Tuesdays, you'll find the English sermon from the previous Sunday, followed by the Spanish sermon on Wednesdays.
SPEAKER_01: On Thursdays, Pastor Jesus and Nola will bring you conversations from our student ministry, including devotions, parenting resources, and more for students and families.
SPEAKER_01: And on Fridays, we're going to bring something different every week.
SPEAKER_01: Throughout the month, you'll hear from our pastors and ministry leaders about college and young adult life, taking the next steps in your faith, parenting and family ministry, and missions.
SPEAKER_01: These will include stories and updates from ministry partners from around the world.
SPEAKER_01: And then on the fourth Sunday of each month, Pastor John and the Celebration in Espanol family will bring a special Spanish language episode exploring how Jesus is changing lives and the biblical truths behind those stories.
SPEAKER_01: Now, if you're listening to this at the end of August of 2026, you've probably noticed quite a few sermons appearing in your feed already.
SPEAKER_01: We're getting ready for our full podcast launch after Labor Day, and we're starting by catching you up on our current sermon series, House Rules.
SPEAKER_01: It's a study through the book of 1 Timothy, or Reglas del Luego in Spanish.
SPEAKER_01: So for those first couple of weeks, you'll hear those previous sermons in English and Spanish.
SPEAKER_01: Then our full weekly schedule will begin after Labor Day.
SPEAKER_01: If you're new to Celebration, we're Celebration Baptist Church in Tallahassee, Florida.
SPEAKER_01: You can learn more about who we are, what we believe, our service times, ministries, and ways to get connected at iCelebration.org.
SPEAKER_01: That's the letter iCelebration.org.
SPEAKER_01: You can also find us on Facebook at iCelebration, on Instagram and TikTok as Celebrate Tally, and on YouTube as Celebration Baptist.
SPEAKER_01: We live stream our Sunday services in English at 11 a.m.
SPEAKER_01: and in Spanish at 1 p.m.
SPEAKER_01: on both YouTube and Facebook.
SPEAKER_01: Our prayer is that this podcast becomes more than just another thing in your feed.
SPEAKER_01: We hope it's something that helps you open God's word, think more deeply about your faith, connect with what God is doing through his church, and take your next step in following Jesus.
SPEAKER_01: Before we wrap up, I also want to thank two people who helped give this podcast its sound.
SPEAKER_01: Ben Carringer arranged and performed our theme music based on the hymn Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing.
SPEAKER_01: And the voice you'll hear welcoming you into each episode and closing out each episode for you belongs to Charles Kelly, a member of our celebration family.
SPEAKER_01: Charles provided those voiceovers for our podcast intros and outros.
SPEAKER_01: So Ben and Charles, thank you for helping us bring the Celebration Baptist Church podcast to life.
