About this listen

How do you design a midweek student service that actually matters?

In this episode, John and Ian dive deep into the structure, philosophy, and flow of midweek gatherings. From preaching to programming, from fun to follow-up, this conversation will challenge how you approach your weekly rhythm. Whether you’re questioning if small groups still work, wondering how long your sermon should be, or simply want to re-center your gathering on Jesus, this one’s for you.

Topics Covered:

  • Why your “why” matters more than your format

  • What a healthy gathering flow looks like

  • How to teach with clarity and conviction

  • When small groups help—and when they don’t

  • Mistakes we’ve made and what we’d do differently

This episode is part of our ongoing mission to equip student pastors and volunteers with content that’s theologically sound, practically helpful, and honest about the real challenges of ministry.
