Thread: Find Your Place in God’s Story
Podcast
Thread is a podcast about finding our place in God’s story. We invite you to follow along with Dr. David Pocta and Hannah DeSouza as they guide us on a journey through the Bible, exploring how the biblical narrative can transform and inspire us to live a life of fullness in Christ. We’re more than just a podcast. Check out the resources below that can help integrate Thread into your life and the life of your church.
Thread App
Thread is more than a podcast. ThreadPodcast.org and the Thread Podcast App are designed to provide immersive and integrated resources for churches and their members to experience new levels of depth and unity.
Immersive & Integrated
Each week’s podcast topic is integrated into the life of the church through lessons for leaders, sermon starters, family devotional ideas, liturgy, and more. We envision deep and holistic teaching that has the power to transform ministries through the work of the Spirit. We invite you to preach with the podcast and see this vision come to life in your church.

Leadership
Our vision is immersion and integration. Leadership lessons are developed for each series so leaders can learn about the topic for themselves and apply it to their unique ministry situations.
Liturgy + Calendar
Verses and topics are offered for welcome messages, corporate prayer, communion talks, and end of service encouragements. Communicate and execute a clear and powerful preaching plan with each series.
Sermon
Sermon Starters provide ideas for engaging introductions, deep but applicable points, and powerful conclusions. Adapt, adopt, and collaborate with others as you prepare sermons that build off of each week’s Thread.
Kids Church
Thread’s resources for Children’s Ministry and Teen Ministries bring the topic of the week into your school age and teen classrooms in an age appropriate and relevant way. The goal is whole church integration.
Graphics & Media
Each series comes with a graphics and media Dropbox folder that will have a unique PowerPoint/Keynote presentation template, social media teaser trailer videos, and social media graphics.
