I appreciate that I can get the message on the go and put it on repeat.

They’re trashing all of Bills old sermons and most of the remaining are poor sermons.

The “episodes” are easy to listen to and follow.

Great podcast of awesome teaching! Only taking off a star cause the audio doesn't always seem to be consistent.

What a great opportunity to be able to benefit from the great teaching at Willow Creek from far away via a podcast.

I never listened to podcasts & started listening to the stronger series. Loved it!! What a great church, w a talented pastor.

I go to the satellite service in the city and love to catch the sermons that I've missed. This is the message I've been hoping to find in a church; a perspective and guidance for my mind which in turn helps my spirit. It's hard to find a spiritual community that nourishes both, and every time I listen I feel like I just left a therapist AND spent time with God. Win win.

I listen to the messages on my way to work and home...it is God food for your soul. It helps me focus on our Heavenly Father throughout my day. God bless Bill and Darren and the full Willow Creek family. Thank you for the daily encouragement...God is so good!

God is Alive... Keep smilin' because JESUS loves you so much! The best church in the universe!... Thank u pastor bill for being an instrument for feeding my hunger for the world of God...that because of you ..i truly understand His message...in as simple but very deep way!...

I was born into Willow. Lots of my friends go to Willow. It's the best church ever! Their youth ministries are brilliant and are really inviting to new Christians. It's only so big because the main auditorium can hold 7,000+ people! And during Christmas and Easter, the whole place is filled, plus 12 services for Christmas! It's awesome! I think there's no better place to go for learning about the Gospel!

The messages are so good! Fantastic teaching on a consistent basis. Great for a listen on the iPhone when your wide awake in bed too. Check out heartland.cc as well.

God's word explained in such way that will impact your life directly. Highly recommend it!

I lost my faith in churches due to a lifetime of seeing crooked preachers turn the gospel into a commodity for sale. Building empires off the sweat of people searching for hope and direction. But I decided to give it 1 more try. And low and behold a church that actually serves it's people! They run a food pantry, a cars ministry, free legal aid and so much more. A church that serves the community and motivates me to do my part in society - maybe I'm not as jaded as I thought. I found my home - take a closer look you may be surprised what you find.

As a fellow "Creeker" of 10+ yrs, I can't say enough good about my church. I started going as a broken, hurting, lost sinner, who really didn't care about anyone but me. As I listened to more messages week after week, God began to work into me more and more. Once I found the Single Parents Ministry... I knew this is where i belonged. I came to realize that life was not all about me. I started serving in the Single Parents Ministry, and my spiritual life just exploded in growth. I am living proof that a lost sinner can get his life turned around with Gods help. If you are curious, if you don't know where to turn, if you want to make a bunch of new Good friends, Stop by WillowCreek Community Church. Services are 5:30 pm on Saturday and 9:00 am and 11:15 on Sunday. You have nothing to loose... Only more to gain. For more info call 847-765-5000. I wrote this review on my own cuz I lived thru hell and back and I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for God, my church, it's members, and it's support. Thanks Willow :) ~Matt W.

Strong messages in a easy to relate to manner!

I listen to the sermons while at work and find myself working harder. I hear the word of god and I relize that I'm not working for some craby boss but for god. That thought leads me to think about what I'm doing and acctually care. My work Is preformed at a much higher level with the teachings I'm my ear rather that the typical music I listen to. I praise god for giving me the ability to have a place earn his money and listen to his word at the same time. I also fall asleep to them. I wake each day and can't wait to listen to the next one. I only wish that there were more podcasts to choose from.

Thank you.

You will be blessed upon hearing. 30 years of a glood thing

I used to attend this church until I moved out of state (bummer). BUT, I stay connected by viewing their services online. It's very much a transformational church due to the fact that they take the Word and say, "This is what God says and this is how we're going to do it" without sugarcoating or watering down the goodness and true intention of the Word. I highly recommend visiting their church if you're ever in the Chicagoland area. It's a "come as you are church," so no jeans are too torn and no sin is too big, they are just happy you're there. Like I stated in the title, it's a great way to also share with someone who is either seeking or curious or someone who is going through a very similar struggle to the message.

This is a great, that a church would make these messages FREE for anyone to hear. These messages will make an impact in everyones life in some way. Great way spread the news of Gods love to people. Also an incredible way to build leaders around the world.
