Preaching & Church Leadership in a Post-Christian World | Ed Young & Mark Clark

About this sermon

In this episode of the C3 Leadership Podcast, Pastor Ed Young sits down with Mark Clark, Global Senior Pastor at Bayside Church in California, for a dynamic conversation about faith, authenticity, and communicating truth in a skeptical culture. Mark shares his remarkable journey from skeptic to pastor—founding @thisisvillagechurch a multi-site ministry across Canada, and now serving alongside Pastor Ray Johnston at @BaysideChurch . Together, they unpack what it means to preach the gospel with both clarity and compassion, lead with humility in a multi-campus context, and reach people far from God in an increasingly post-Christian world. Whether you’re a pastor, leader, or communicator, this episode will challenge and inspire you to bring both courage and authenticity to every message you preach.
