Beyond Sunday's is a weekly podcast from Porter Memorial Baptist Church that continues the conversation beyond Sunday morning through biblical discussion, pastoral insight, and practical application. Join members of our pastoral team as we dive deeper into Scripture, answer listener questions, discuss SBC and current events through a biblical lens, and encourage one another to follow Christ throughout the week.
In this episode of Beyond Sunday, we continue our study of Colossians 3 and explore what it means to be a church transformed by Christ. We discuss how God's Word should shape our relationships, how believers can pursue genuine unity, and what it looks like to participate faithfully in the life of the church. We also examine new research on why young adults attend church and ask an important question: When people come to church looking for something different from the world, do they find the love, hope, joy, unity, and holiness that should characterize followers of Jesus?

TRAILER: Beyond Sunday Collective
We’re excited to announce the launch of a brand new discipleship resource here at Porter: The Beyond Sunday Collective.
Beyond Sunday is a podcast where some of our pastors continue the conversation from Sunday, answer your questions, discuss SBC news, and think biblically about what’s happening in our culture and around the world.
Our hope is simple: to help you follow Jesus not just on Sunday, but throughout the week.
These podcasts aren’t meant to replace gathered worship, Life Groups, or the relationships that make up life in the local church. Instead, they’re another tool to help equip you to follow Christ throughout the week. Whether you’re processing something you heard in a sermon, wondering how the gospel speaks to a cultural issue, or simply looking for encouragement in your walk with Jesus, Beyond Sunday is designed to keep the conversation going.
As the Beyond Sunday Collective grows, we’ll add more podcasts designed for different ages, stages of life, and areas of ministry—all with the same goal: helping you grow as a disciple of Jesus.
