Passing The Pulpit

In this episode, we sit down with a local pastor who made a bold move — transitioning from leading a large traditional church to creating a business-on-mission model that’s been thriving for over fifteen years. He now runs a vibrant coffee house that serves the community throughout the week and transforms into a church on Sundays.

We dive into his incredible journey of blessing the community, building relationships, and hosting events that bring people together. He shares practical insights on what it looks like to integrate faith and business, foster authentic connections, and create spaces where people experience God’s love outside the walls of a traditional church.

Whether you’re a pastor, church planter, entrepreneur, or someone passionate about community impact, this conversation will inspire you to think creatively about ministry in today’s culture.

Can a machine capture divine inspiration, or is that uniquely human?

In this thought-provoking conversation, pastor and pioneering CEO Johnny Levy shares how artificial intelligence is reshaping creativity, identity, and the future of ministry. Together, we explore the promises and pitfalls of AI in sermon writing, leadership, and spiritual formation.

From AI-generated storytelling to the irreplaceable role of the Holy Spirit, we wrestle with questions every ministry leader is facing: Where does technology help, and where does it hinder? Along the way, Johnny offers practical insights on using AI as a tool without losing sight of authenticity, resilience, and the sacred calling of the pastor.

Tune in to discover how faith and technology can work in harmony, and why the heart of ministry still beats strongest through human connection and the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
