The Bench is a weekly video podcast hosted by Spence Shelton, Lead Pastor of Mercy Church in Charlotte, NC. Each episode offers a deeper dive into the themes and topics from Sunday’s sermon—covering the biblical insights, real-life applications, and important truths that didn’t make it into the message. Whether you’re looking to grow in your faith, wrestle with tough questions, or just curious about the “rest of the sermon,” The Bench invites you to pull up a seat and join the conversation.
