How it works
From Sunday to everyday listening.
You already have the message. Give people a place to find it, listen again, and share it.
Upload your recording
Add the audio file you already have, along with a title and description for the sermon.
Publish when you’re ready
Release the episode now or schedule it for later, using your podcast’s time zone.
Share with your congregation
Link to the episode, embed the player on your website, and prepare your podcast feed for listening apps.
Podcast app listings are a separate setup step, reviewed by each directory. Read our guides for Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
A home for every sermon
Help people find the message they’re looking for.
Give listeners a podcast website where they can find past episodes, read sermon notes, and listen again. Choose a theme and make it feel like your church.
-
Listen throughout the week
Make Sunday’s sermon available for people who missed it or want to return to it.
-
Share an episode
Give each sermon a page you can link to from your church’s emails, website, and social posts.
Keep your church website
Let people listen where they already find you.
Add a Fireside episode player to your existing website so people can listen without leaving the page. You can also link to your full podcast archive.
Tools for the people keeping it going.
Weekly sermons, Bible studies, devotionals, and conversations can all use the same publishing workflow. Compare plans for included features and limits.
Already have a podcast?
Move your sermons without starting over.
Import your show and episodes, check that everything arrived, then redirect your feed from your current host. Your listeners can keep following the same podcast.
Keep your current host active until you’ve checked the import. Get help moving
Frequently Asked Questions
No. Upload audio recorded with your existing setup. Fireside provides hosting and publishing, not recording equipment or an audio editor.
Yes. Add an embedded Fireside episode player or link to your podcast website. Contact support if you need help with the player.
Your podcast feed supplies episodes to listening apps. Follow the setup guides for Apple Podcasts and Spotify. Each directory controls its review and availability; publishing in Fireside does not guarantee an immediate listing.
Yes. Bring teammates into the publishing workflow, with collaborator limits based on your plan. Compare plans to find the right fit for your team.
Start with your team size and reporting needs, then compare the current plans. You don’t need a separate church-specific plan.
Yes. Use a separate podcast address, such as sermons.example.org, while keeping your main church website where it is. A single hostname cannot point to both sites at once. Contact support if you need help choosing an address.
Yes. Fireside has an import path for existing podcasts. Contact support to plan the move and the redirect at your previous host.
