Welcome to the official podcast of Crossroads Church in Youngstown, Ohio! Each week you’ll hear powerful and practical messages from our lead pastor, Dave Watkins, designed to help you grow in your faith, deepen your relationship with Jesus, and live out your purpose.

In addition to our Sunday messages, we’ll occasionally bring you studio episodes—conversations, testimonies, and special topics that encourage and equip you for everyday life.

Whether you’re part of our Crossroads family or tuning in from afar, we invite you to listen in, be inspired, and join us as we pursue Jesus together.
