"Church With No Walls" Podcast: Religion, Livestreaming and Social Media in a Post-Pandemic World
Podcast Description
For the past few years, churches and other institutions of faith struggled with how to get their message out to the masses during a time when a worldwide pandemic raged. Many of them went to livestreaming and social media. This podcast follows what that experience was like for religious leaders, members of religious organizations, those who became "media ministers" and more. We also look at how media ministry is transforming the church now that the pandemic is over. Will the church as we know it ever go completely virtual? Find out what this next chapter in religion could look like!

In this powerful episode, host Ryan Dearbone sits down with minister, author, and nonprofit founder Ambi Smith for an honest conversation about calling, healing, and faith lived beyond the church building. Ambi shares the 13-year journey of Sisters in the Name of Christ, Inc., a women’s ministry dedicated to equipping and empowering women facing emotional, spiritual, and mental health challenges—especially in the wake of the pandemic.
Together, they explore the dangers of silent suffering, the importance of self-care alongside prayer, and how unmanaged stress impacts both personal well-being and spiritual growth. Ambi opens up about hearing God’s call, walking in obedience, setting healthy boundaries, and modeling faith through everyday life, motherhood, and leadership.

This episode is a reminder that healing is a lifelong process, faith requires intention, and transformation can happen anywhere—not just on Sunday mornings.
