What is with all the ads now? Makes me feel like it's more of a show now than a sermon. Let me get through these ads to get to the Word of God. 😒 and Disney?! Of all companies... 🫠

I have literally listened to over one hundred Pastor Steven Furtick sermons and he is ALWAYS speaking directly to me in every single one!!!! I can’t get enough of his teachings about God and how to have a relationship with Him!

I listen every week & have grown tremendously in my Christian walk & grown closer to Jesus ✝️Keep preaching !!

I have been listening to the podcast for some years now. I just learned how to right a review and I must say your messages are a true blessing.

Do your research. This podcast and elevation church is false teaching. Steven furtick is nothing more than a feel good motivational speaker. Thats it. He has removed resurrection and the blood from their easter sermons?!? That’s the hall mark of christian faith. Wolf in sheep’s clothing. So sad.

None of the other christian podcasts I listen to have ads beforehand, or anywhere for that matter. Very disappointed by this addition before the sermons.

Don’t advertise on LGBTQIA+ podcasts. I don’t wanna hear your religious idiot dribble in the middle of hearing about gay sex and drag queens.

Elevation church, I wanted to thank you for getting me closer to god and I’m always going to walk by with with god. Hearing the Elevation Church podcast has changed my life and I’m so grateful and thankful god bless there souls✨🫶🏻

Like other reviewers have said.. why are there now ads?! Otherwise Elevation has had a great impact on my life but this is a disappointment

Pastor Steven is such a blessing and I’ve been listening to his podcast throughout my day at work and in the car. His sermons have really helped me grow in faith through my situation and made me depend more on God. I can feel the Holy Spirit talking to me in his sermon “Winded” he used my name Cindy short for Cynthia. As an example and described how strong you can look from someone else’s perspective but it gets “windy for Cindy too”. Everyone one of his sermons speak so clearly to me and I’m so grateful for the word and his teachings from the Bible.

Elevation is my favorite church pastor Steven is a very blessed man of god. I always feel welcomed and apart of the family.

After their Easter broadcast to not say things like “resurrection” or “blood of Jesus” it concerned me. Jesus is supposed to change hearts and they cannot just omit those important phrases. I will stand strong in my stance for Jesus and I can no longer support Elevation church or their music

Please stop monetizing your sermons. The commercials before and after are distracting and are becoming turn-offs.

I used to listen to Furtick DAILY. I thank him for getting me excited to go deeper into scripture. He plays an important part in my walk with God and is a big reason why I even got into youth ministry in the first place. However, the more I started reading my Bible, the less I listened to Furtick. The Bible is for us but we aren’t the main character, yet every sermon on this podcast takes a passage and makes it all about us. l instead of God. When we hear a great sermon, our response shouldn’t be “WOW, what a great speaker he is!”. It should be “WOW, what a great God we get to serve!” I remember doing an in depth study on Isaiah and the Leviathan awhile back and I heard he preached on it recently so I went and listened. A powerful passage of scripture and he reduced it to forming daily habits. It’s crazy because I KNOW he knows how to properly research and exegete scripture (based on his education), yet he neglects all of it just so he can make stuff start with the same letter, point out pointless parts of scripture that have nothing to do with its intended purpose (knew you -> new you), and he’ll say whatever it takes for people to clap and shout (I’ve been to elevation multiple times. He could explain how to make a PB&J and people would shout “WOWWWWW I NEVER THOUGHT OF IT LIKE THAT BEFORE”) I don’t mean this to just bash Elevation and Furtick. It just makes me sad to see the change in him the past 10 years and his church hangs on every word he says without questioning any of it. His sermons reach hundreds of thousands of people every week and I just think “If this would be more sound biblical teaching, how much more could God use this man and Elevation?!” I’m praying for Elevation daily because they have a MASSIVE amount of influence across the Christian world now and I pray that they would use it to show people who the Jesus is and call people to salvation.

God has moved in my life through these sermons, but the resent addition of all these ads makes it really hard to focus on the sermon and stay in the moment. I don’t know if adding the adds was your choice or simply what the app is doing, but I really miss this podcast being ad free😕

I can’t even begin to tell you how timely the sermons on this podcast are for me. Especially today, though it is 1/22/24, I clicked on a sermon from 10/29/23 that was exactly what I needed. I just read the title and clicked on it only to find that it was about Jacob and Esau, whom I had already “coincidentally” been reading about currently and the whole sermon was almost exactly what I’d been feeling and struggling with and was a confirmation of all God has been speaking to my spirit! Thank you, thank you, thank you for being real and speaking God’s truth and that it’s normal to be “blessed, but….”

This podcast is amazing! I love the incredible energy he brings of the word of God to help start your day out right or to help balance you throughout the day! I am obsessed and helps me connect more with the word of God

I love pastor Steven but where did these ads come from? And when did iHeartMedia get involved? 👎🏻👎🏻

Thank you Pastor Furtick for this breakdown!! I can definitely relate to Holly in this podcast, and the way you told her to define her definition of Win really hit home! Thank you!! One day WHEN… to One day WIN!!!

This podcast seems to be a prophetic voice in my life right now. I look forward to every new message. I’m digging trenches when I don’t see rain… God is fighting for me….

Best podcast out there by a long shot. Pastor Steven Furtick is incredible. I get so much out of every single sermon, week after week after week. Elevation Church and Elevation Worship are a huge part of my walk with God. Truly life changing. If you haven’t started listening, today is that day. A huge, heartfelt thank you to Steven, Holly, and the whole Elevation team for dedicating your lives to bringing people closer to God, to better versions of themselves, and adding so much joy, inspiration, and love to the world.

Ads?? Are y’all serious? I pray that you guys realize how counter-cultural that is to the approach of Jesus. Sadly, unfollowed.

I don’t have a church currently but I want to hear sermons and feel close to God. This church’s podcast always makes me feel inspired to do better. This podcast and their sermons are so hopeful and meaningful to me. Very grateful for the word delivered through this church.

Stop hating on “mega-churches” …. They make “mega-impact” God blessed those who are obedient to Him! And this sermons are impactful EVERY SINGLE WEEK! May the Lord continue to be with Pastor Steven and Elevation church.

Thank God for Elevation & the Furticks! Guest speakers are all great too! These podcasts have helped to get me through some seriously tough times! I’m so happy I get to hear them every week! I live on Kauai & one of these days I’m gonna make it FL to see you guys live!

This was a very personal word for me going through the moment in where I need to let go of who is dressing me and why I need approval from someone.

No words can describe the joy and fullness i experience every time I get to listen to this podcast. If this a foretaste of the laughter and Holy Spirit filling to come…. I can’t wait!! I praise God for all of it the music, the anointed preaching, the holy humor. Thank you for continuing to bring the 🔥 every week!! I tell everyone they need to listen to you. Keep it up!!! I praise God for you!!!!

I don't want to complain but I am missing the basin episodes for a little refresher during the week. I love this church, and thank you for all you guys have done. Please hear my gratefulness in this message for all your hard work. Can't wait to read the new book💕

FALSE TEACHER!!!!!

I really wanted to like this podcast but it’s just the same yelling pastor who has a bunch of one liners and constantly repeats himself. I learned little about anything from the Bible but a lot about his personal life. Christianity and Jesus don’t need to be a production. There doesn’t need to be yelling and cheering and loud music. You can preach (and hopefully teach) in a much calmer way where people actually get something out of it. The gospel is enough just as it is, just teach it and make things less about you.

Elevation church brings me to my knees every week. The message is always practical and gives me hope. Thank you to every person that makes this podcast possible. You are changing hearts and deepening relationships with our loving Savior.

This is how I start my day every morning. This is what fuels me. Thank you for this word to remind me each and every day.

Just an amazing men of God, Thank you for listing to the Lord and delivering his message.

I was looking to be closer to our Father. A friend told me about Elevation. This is what I needed. Thank you.

I’m so grateful for the Furticks. Pastor Steven has a way of delivering God’s word effectively. After attending my own local church, I look forward to hearing Elevations service. Thank you for all that you do and most of all, for being obedient to God.

I love this church!!!!!! One of the most humble and anointed pastors ever! I love Holly also! She’s helped me as a mother and wife tremendously. Just love love love these two and staff so much!

Pastor Steven & Holly are so amazing, they communicate the message in such a deep and effective way, it’s so good because they know how to relate it to your current situation and connect you to God’s Word. Thank you Elevation Church!

Promotional material for the worship of Steven Furtick. Weird stuff. This guy is a narcissist promoting narcissism. If you’re obsessed with Instagram, this guy is for you!

The messages are so good I want to share each time! Love how easy i can share an episode to encourage a friend! Thank you

Gotta say, I loved this “out of the blue” podcast! I check in Mondays to hear Sundays sermons. I noticed there was a podcasts today and just had to listen to it. I knew it was going to speak to me and sure enough, what I needed. “God is in me and with me”. Thank you for being a dedicated servant of Christ! You’ve helped me in seasons where I didn’t know how I was going to get through them!

I happened upon a sermon of Pastor Steven on YouTube some couple of years past. He mentioned his fathers ALS. My daddy was a year and a half after diagnosis at the time. I just stopped scrolling and listened, that sermon saved my life. One sermon led to another, before I knew it I was downloading the Elevation app, getting notifications and I have yet to miss a Sunday online. God divinely intervened with this beautiful Furtick/ Elevation family, and I truly love the peace and understanding He provides through them.

Thankful for hopeful messages and the light that this podcast is to me and so many

I don’t know where I’d be if I didn’t have these to listen to during a long hard road. It gets better everyday and programs like these keep the path well lit.

I’ve listened to Pastor Steven for years (since 2012) and I love his sermons, but for my early morning bible study, this Basin form of preaching is perfect. He’s a little quieter (lol!) and it’s the perfect length for my workout. Such a blessing. Thank you.

Thank you Pastor Steven for always bringing the message from God when I need it the most! Danielle Todd

Steven has been listening to my prayers it feels like. Steven has more of a motivational style that I love. He can be challenging and loving. And always has the best annnalegys!

Wow thank you so much for speaking the truth of God! This podcast has been a long waited inspiration for me! Thx

The last Basin was literally Pastor reading my mind (5-17).😭😭😭 God is using him so powerfully. I have been doubting my calling despite getting confirmation from God and others. I have been holding on to my past & self -hate. Listening from Fredericksburg VA.

These are amazing and give me so much hope thank you!!!!

I recently heard Steven Furtick speak of how he attended a Taylor Swift concert with his daughters & my spirit was deeply troubled. Proverbs 4:14-16, do not go where evil people go. Do not follow the example of the wicked. Romans 12:2 cautions us against conforming to standards of this world & you can’t serve both God & the world as said in Mathew 12:30. I think no man of God should encourage God’s people to attend heretic gatherings. It didn’t sit right with my spirit & I was compelled to leave this review. I think he is a false prophet.
