Good News Radio
In preparing for the launch of a full feature podcast, I have discovered that I’ve actually already been podcasting since 2010. In May of 2010 Eastside began broadcasting sermons at Sermon Audio.

Is Your Church “Youth Group” Even Biblical?
Over a decade ago I began a long journey asking this kind of question. At the time I was still in a church as a ‘youth pastor’ and beginning to notice some uncomfortable trends among the students in our church youth group. In early 2011, the church I now pastor, Eastside Baptist Church, took a…
