Row 5 — Podcasters seated in the city: the sermon feeds, swept congregation by congregation

THE FEED SWEEP · NOVEMBER 2026

The digital-wire article settled the creator question and left the podcasters half-done: the neighbouring city's history show was boundary-printed, and the shows actually produced from this ground were never swept. Swept now, against the Religion section's roll of sixteen seated congregations, the ground holds four verified sermon feeds — each a weekly services podcast produced from a Granger pulpit, each printed whole at its documented size — and two tested remainders.

Granger Community Church — the ground's largest feed. The church's podcast, in its own description the "weekly services podcast of Granger Community Church" (grangerchurch.com), publishes the weekend messages from the University Drive pulpit in series — GRIT and Christmas at Granger in the winter of 2025–26, Rebels With a Cause and HOW TO in the summer of 2025, in the directory record. Listen Notes' dated count, read November 2026, gives 138 episodes since March 17, 2024, updating roughly every six days at an average length of some thirty-nine minutes; the feed's own episode list runs past that directory window in both directions, and the count prints as the directory's, dated, not as the feed's whole archive. This is a sermon feed at institutional size: a megachurch's pulpit, distributed weekly, from a Granger seat.

Granger Missionary Church — the longest-running feed on the ground. The podcast of Granger MC, in its own description "the weekly teaching ministry of Granger MC in Granger, Indiana," counts 253 episodes since March 3, 2019 in Listen Notes' record — weekly, at an average forty minutes — its 2025 episodes titled by their texts (the Psalms series of that summer: "Be Still – Psalm 37," July 13, 2025, the latest episode in the directory copy read). The same congregation keeps a second, devotional feed: the Selah Podcast, a daily-reading companion to the church's Bible reading plan, standing at Episode 255 ("Expectations," Mark 1) in the record reached — a small, steady devotional production from the Birch Road campus, printed at its size. Its Spanish-language sister congregation, GMCE, has no separate feed in any directory reached; the sweep prints that as a searched line, not an assumption.

Grace Church — Grace For Granger. The Grace For Granger Podcast carries the sermons of Grace Church, 52025 Gumwood Road — Pastor Art Simpson's preaching in the record reached, with Associate Pastor Jon Blanchard — its episodes dated from at least December 24, 2023 ("Joy") through July 13, 2025 ("Live Forever," from the series Six Words, Twenty-Five Times through John's Gospel), each episode expressly "delivered at Grace Church in Granger, Indiana" in its own show notes, under graceforgranger.org. A namesake trap is disposed of here, at the size a reader will meet it: the well-listed "Grace Church Indiana Sermons" podcast (Noblesville's Grace Church, gracechurch.us) is a different congregation in a different county, and none of its record is this ground's.

St. Pius X — no feed; a text record instead. The parish keeps no podcast in any directory searched: the St. Pius X name in the podcast directories belongs to the St. Pius X Catholic Student Center in Kansas (the "Catholic Gorillas – Homilies" feed), which is not this parish and is not claimed. What the Granger parish's preaching leaves in the open record is print: the diocese publishes its notable homilies as texts, among them Bishop Kevin C. Rhoades's homily for the Memorial of St. Monica, delivered at St. Pius X Church in Granger on August 27, 2026, at a Mass for Catholic Charities (diocesefwsb.org). A textual homily record, at pointer size, is the parish's true size in this section. The remaining twelve congregations of the Religion roll returned no feed in the directories searched — the sweep's negative remainder, printed as searched, November 2026.

Row 5, second half — Any school show seated in the CDP: tested, not found

THE SCHOOL TEST · GAP-NEWS-4, RE-RUN AT PODCAST STRENGTH

The school half of the row rides on the newspapers leg's own open file, and this section re-runs it at podcast strength without pretending to close what only an archive can close. Newspapers & Media tested a student publication seated inside the designated place and printed the result whole: the district's documented student press — the Pennant newspaper and the Penn News Network broadcast, sixty-four staff in the 2006 Bittersweet yearbook's count — stands at Penn High School in Mishawaka, and "a student publication seated inside the designated place itself — a Discovery Middle School newspaper or broadcast — was tested and not found in the record reached," standing as GAP-NEWS-4 with the school's and district's archives as settler. Re-run for this row in November 2026 at the podcast directories' strength — Discovery Middle School, the Granger-seated PHM schools and St. Pius X School against the podcast and school-publication records — the result is the same: no school show, podcast or broadcast, produced from a school seated in the CDP stands in any record reached. TESTED NEGATIVE at open-record strength, with GAP-NEWS-4 retained beneath it: the district's own archives and yearbooks settle what a directory cannot, and a Discovery production kept only in a school archive would enter by addendum, not by inference.

The row's whole finding, printed once: the podcasters seated in this city are its pulpits. Four sermon feeds — one of them among the longer-running weekly feeds in the county's record, at 253 episodes — and one devotional companion; no school show; no parish feed from its largest parish. The creator negative of this section's main article stands undisturbed above them, because a sermon feed is a congregation's ministry record, not a creator's channel, and this section prints the feeds at exactly that size.

Tested negatives and named gaps

THE RECORD AS IT STANDS · NOVEMBER 2026

TESTED NEGATIVE — a school show seated in the CDP (row 5, second half). Searched: Newspapers & Media's publication test; the podcast directories, November 2026. GAP-NEWS-4 retained beneath the negative; settler: the school's and the district's archives and yearbooks.

TESTED NEGATIVE, at sweep strength — feeds for the remaining congregations. No feed for GMCE separately, and none for the twelve congregations beyond the four printed, in the directories searched, November 2026. The directory counts in the sermon-feed article (138 episodes; 253 episodes) are the directories' dated figures, printed as such; the feeds' full archives are their own records.
