Ed’s out, Joey’s in! This week on Off the Record, we’re getting to know Joey DeDomenic, talking throwback worship songs, sharing the latest baby news, and recapping a Sunday full of worship classics and one very unfortunate diaper situation.Then we get into the heart behind Kingdom Builders. Where does the money actually go? How are we making a difference locally and around the world? Brandon breaks down why generosity is such a big part of who we are as a church, the partners we support, and the impact that’s happening through it all.Plus, upcoming missions trips, Worship Night, Women’s Conference, and a very important animal Mount Rushmore draft.Off the Record is the podcast where we talk church, ministry, faith, and everything in between. New episodes from Amplify Church.

This week on the podcast, we somehow managed to cover getting shocked, tithing, and the annual tradition of arguing about fall things.

We kick things off with Ian getting absolutely wrecked by electricity and then move into a conversation about tithing, generosity, and what Scripture actually says about giving.

Then, because apparently theology wasn't enough, we get into the important stuff: drafting fall things. Pumpkin spice, fall activities, seasonal favorites, and whatever else somehow became draft-worthy.

A little pain, a little theology, and a lot of strong opinions about fall.

Another week of Off the Record. 🍂⚡️

Ed is back, and there’s a lot to catch up on.We’re talking about Ed’s trip, Pastor Rob filling in last week, Ampy prep, football season, the final stretch of 75 Hard, Brandon joining a tennis league, and why Ed apparently “doesn’t have time for pleasantries.”Then we rewind Sunday’s service, including 39 baptisms, a new series, last-minute changes, and the way the worship team flowed throughout the morning.But the big conversation this week is church hurt.What actually is church hurt? What does it mean to move forward after being hurt by a church or church leader? And what does healthy healing actually look like?Plus, the Cutting Room Floor, The Hot Seat, and The Unedited Take.This is Off the Record with Amplify Church.

This week on the podcast, Pastor Rob might be changing careers… apparently beekeeping is calling. 🐝Before we get into Rob's potential second career, we catch up on the upcoming arrival of Baby Brandie, talk about what's been happening with Youth, recap some of the biggest moments from the summer, and somehow find time to debate pumpkin spice and rank the seasons.We also look back at our Ghosted series and talk through some of the highlights from Sunday and what's been happening on Thursday nights.Then we pull back the curtain on something we don't usually get to talk about: how we actually create a message. What does sermon prep look like? How do we structure our notes? Why all the colors? How much do the screens factor into the process? And how closely do we actually stick to the notes once we're on stage?A little behind-the-scenes church life, a little sermon prep, and possibly the beginning of Pastor Rob's beekeeping career.Another week of Off the Record.

This week on the podcast, Brandon has some big news… apparently he's pregnant. 👀Okay, not actually. But we do talk about the very real baby news from B and Kendall, including Ed and Katie being there when they found out. And with the number of staff kids at Amplify continuing to grow, we get into a bigger conversation about what we can do to make working at the church better for parents.We also look back at Sunday, including following the Holy Spirit, preaching to stuffed animals, praying over kids, the Back to School Bash, and Jenna once again proving that she can apparently do everything.Plus, we recap the dunk tank, talk about Ed somehow missing the podcast again next week, and whatever other chaos happens along the way.Another week of Off the Record.

This week on the podcast, we catch up on the golf outing, celebrate Piper starting 5th grade, acknowledge that wedding season is officially here, and prepare for this Sunday's dunk tank.Then we get back into our conversation around the gifts of the Holy Spirit and what they look like in the life of the church.And because apparently theology wasn't enough, we finish the episode with a game of Mind Meld—five rounds of trying to somehow think of the exact same word, narrowing down our answers each time.It sounds simple.It is not.Another week of Off the Record.

This week on the podcast, Brandon gets booed, we draft our favorite fruits, and then somehow find our way into a pretty important conversation about generosity and the local church.We've had some questions about why Amplify chooses to give financially to another church here in Plum, so we're talking through the heart behind that decision, what it means to have a kingdom mindset, and why we believe churches don't have to compete with each other.Another week of Off The Record!

This week on the podcast, we're putting Jenna Kennard, our new Kids Ministry Leader, in the Hot Seat!We get to know Jenna, hear her story, talk about what led her to Amplify, and ask plenty of questions along the way—including a few she may or may not have been prepared for.We also look back at Sunday, share a few behind-the-scenes moments that didn't make it into the sermon, and dive into another thoughtful conversation about faith, church, and ministry.And, of course, it wouldn't be Off the Record without a few random side quests... including Brandon slowly realizing his memory might not be what it used to be.Whether you're here for the laughs, the deeper conversations, or just to get to know the people behind the scenes at Amplify, there's something for everyone in this week's episode.
