Interviewed Zack Nicholson with Minding the Gap in Kansas City a ministry that addresses literacy in schools, supports school staff and does after school christian clubs in Kansas City. Zack highlighted the alarming statistic that only about a third of U.S. students read proficiently by third grade, increasing their likelihood of dropping out of high school by four times. Completing high school can lead to a $200,000 higher lifetime income, emphasizing literacy's crucial role in education and daily life. They focus on the literacy crisis, particularly in Kansas City, and discuss addressing this issue through tutoring and mentoring programs to help struggling students.Zack shares his experiences working in Hickman Mills and Grandview, areas with high poverty rates where all students qualify for free or reduced lunches. He emphasizes the need for targeted literacy interventions, connecting literacy with social issues such as military eligibility. Nathan and Zack also explore the intersection of literacy and Christian values, advocating for viewing and treating others with respect and dignity. They stress the importance of serving the poor and marginalized, referencing biblical teachings to support their mission.The podcast discusses the growth of the Mind the Gap organization, which provides mentorship, tutoring, and teacher appreciation in schools.

The program aims to provide hope and build relationships with students. Nathan and Zack also discuss the broader impact of the Minding the Gap ministry, emphasizing the importance of local church involvement and community partnerships to support literacy and reduce crime rates, ultimately aiming to meet both practical and spiritual needs in schools.I would highly recommend getting involved in this organization. https://www.mindinggaps.org/More resources for this ministry can be found on Faith Horizons episode page: https://www.faithhorizons.com/minding-the-gapSupport the Show.https://www.buymeacoffee.com/faithhorizons.

Steve Magnuson delves into the 2 foundational principles that shape not only individual lives but also entire cities and nations. The episode explores the two foundational pillars that underpin our lives and society: history and government. Steve explains how history represents our personal journey with God, influencing our decisions and perspectives. Likewise, government signifies our understanding of God's authority and our obligation to submit to it. These two concepts, whether positive or negative in nature, serve as the bedrock for all decision-making processes, shaping our purpose and direction in life. Steve's insightful discussion challenges listeners to reflect on their history with God and their approach to His divine authority, offering a profound perspective on how these principles impact our daily choices and the world around us. Throughout the conversation, Steve highlights the universal nature of these foundations, applicable to both Christians and non-Christians alike. He emphasizes that even those who may reject or be indifferent to God still make decisions rooted in their personal history and concept of authority. Steve provides clarity on the essential role of God's government as the highest authority in our lives and explains how it is unchanging, consistent over generations, and applicable worldwide. This episode encourages introspection and a deeper understanding of how the history of our relationship with God and our response to His authority profoundly shape our lives and the world we live in.

Business in the Bible!  During our prayer meeting in September, one topic that came up was the significance of the marketplace or the workplace in the Bible. Scott mentioned that during one of his spiritual retreats, he sought clarity on whether there was legitimacy in a calling in the marketplace. He was led to various passages in the Bible, including Exodus, where Moses commissioned Bezalel to fabricate items for the tabernacle. This was the first recorded instance in Scripture of a person being filled with the Holy Spirit, and it highlighted the importance of craftsmanship and work.Scott also delved into the Hebrew word "avodah," which is used interchangeably in the Old Testament for work, worship, and service. This reveals that our work can be an act of worship unto the Lord. Worship isn't limited to church services; it extends to our daily vocations, whether we're craftsmen, accountants, salespeople, leaders, marketers, or any other profession. All of these can be done unto the Lord as an act of worship.Scott then shared other key references from the New Testament, such as Jesus' first recorded words about being about His Father's business and the story of Stephen, the first martyr, who was appointed over a business-related task. These examples validate the legitimacy of a calling in the workplace.Business Insights: Another important topic discussed during our prayer meeting was the concept of rest. Scott mentioned a book by Andy Mason titled "God with You at Work," which emphasized the performance of rest. The idea is to cease from striving and selfish ambition, entering God's rest even while working. This type of rest leads to increased creativity, reduced conflict, and less anxiety.10 Day Retreat: Scott also touched upon his recent 10-day spiritual retreat. He shared that the first revelation was about returning to our first love, based on Revelation 2:4. The Church of Ephesus had done many good things, but had lost its first love for Christ. This highlights the importance of maintaining intimacy with Jesus as a hallmark of our faith.Additionally, Scott discussed the concept of the "fifth column" that he learned about during his retreat. In history, a fifth column referred to infiltrators sympathetic to a cause who were inside a city or organization. Scott related this to the church, suggesting that we should be mindful of what has infiltrated the church, especially in turbulent times. God will start cleaning up His house before addressing external issues.God's Relay Race is a workplace prayer gathering that meets on the second Saturday every month at the Plexpod in Wesport from 8:00am - 10:00amAdd to CalendarFor more information about this prayer group go to: www.kcpray.com MusicIntro and Outro Music by Jerry Abahhttps://youtu.be/NJFQvXk36oM   Support the showhttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/faithhorizons.

In this episode Steve and I discuss the implications of this promise which was reiterated over and over by Jesus himself. Ask and you shall receive. Seek and you shall find. Knock and the door shall be open to you.If this is true… many are living out their lives far short of this great potential. Some questions:  Do your prayers excite God and call forth impossibilities? Is your aka humility… getting in the way of all that God has planned for you? Have we lost what we once understood about Faith, what does history have to say about where we are now? Is your thinking getting in the way of your kingdom potential? To hear more from Steve Magnuson about the Kingdom of God go to:https://www.youtube.com/@shilohinternational6576Shiloh International is a prophetic voice established to boldly declare the manifestation of the Kingdom of God in our generation and articulate what a manifestation of His Kingdom looks like in the cities and nations of the earth.  MusicIntro and Outro Music by Jerry Abahhttps://youtu.be/NJFQvXk36oM   Support the showhttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/faithhorizons.

We will not ignore this evil business that impacts our world and more importantly our city. It is true that prayer begets action because of this God's Relay Race and other Christian Business efforts such as Barnabas Group KC have been involved for years now in helping ministries and other avenues addressing the plight of human trafficking in our city. Let's continue to pray for our beautiful city! God's Relay Race is a workplace prayer gathering that meets on the second Saturday every month at the Plexpod in Wesport from 8:00am - 10:00amAdd to CalendarFor more information about this prayer group go to: www.kcpray.com MusicIntro and Outro Music by Jerry Abahhttps://youtu.be/NJFQvXk36oMSupport the showSupport the show https://www.patreon.com/faithhorizons.

 United in Crisis | Coming Soon to Your CityFor so many years America has turned to the government in a time of crisis such as large storm damage, fires, flooding or even mounting homelessness. Fourteen years ago, God gave Daniel Geraci a model to train for, bring together, and then mobilize local churches in times of crisis. With this model Daniel started Austin Disaster Relief Network (ADRN). Over the past 14 years, through collecting the information of those in need ADRN has been able to bring together both Church, Government, and other agencies to quickly identify key problems and facilitate large scale efforts to assist all aspects of people and communities in need both practically, emotionally, and spiritually.• Emotionally • Spiritually • Practically After 14 years with a proven model and helping assist 22 other cities to do the same, Daniel has launched United in Crisis going nationwide with this empowering approach and mission for God's church. Through crisis we are given the compelling opportunity to come together and make the love of Jesus and his body mean something to those in need.

We talked about upcoming Centennial Celebration, Story Brand for God's Relay Race, and Experiential Encountering Prayer in the Workplace.How many ways can prayer influence your workplace. Prayer is inviting God into the nitty gritty of your day-to-day processes, into the decisions that decide go or no. Prayer is time with the king of kings to learn his heart for your business and his desires for you, your business, your city. Prayer is Godly direction in unsure economic times when walking on water is necessary to get to the other side. Seize the baton and run your race.God's Relay Race is a workplace prayer gathering that meets on the second Saturday every month at the Plexpod in Wesport from 8:00am - 10:00amAdd to CalendarFor more information about this prayer group go to: www.kcpray.com MusicIntro and Outro Music by Jerry Abahhttps://youtu.be/NJFQvXk36oMSupport the show https://www.patreon.com/faithhorizons.

What is the Collektive Company in Kansas City? In this interview I speak with Damion Cooper who is the founder. Bringing music, gospel teaching, and a lot of energy the Collektive Company engages the upcoming generation where they are at and invites them to greater meaning and purpose with God. Damion was on the path of becoming a professional soccer player. He was invited to join feeder teams in Europe (A possible on ramp to more pro roles in the sport). We spoke about how God changed the trajectory of Damion's life of serving God in soccer to scoring on a different field.It's hard to capture the possibilities of a ministry like Collektive Company. It reminds me of Acquire the Fire, otherwise known as Teen Mania and has the boldness of Let Us Worship with Sean Feucht. Damion with the Collektive Company is curating a culture of difference makers with an outside the box approach to engage the youth of this generation.Expressions of MinistryI AM CollectiveUnite the SummitGet Away Tours3 PillarsInfluencing Next GenerationEmpowering Community LeadersUnite Local Communities Visit the website: https://www.collektiveco.com/ MusicIntro and Outro Music by Jerry Abahhttps://youtu.be/NJFQvXk36oM    0:25 A synopsis of the Collektive Company. 4:19 Building a leadership team in the school. 6:40 Growing Up 9:16 How Damion met his wife and their family. 12:25 Becoming a part of the music scene. 15:05 How to reach out to the church? 17:37 Moving beyond the four walls of the church. 20:20 The I Am Collective Tour. 23:02 Credibility through God's favor. Get New Articles and Episodes in your Inbox - https://faithhorizons.com/sign-up/

In this podcast Steve and I discussed the tension between God's seemingly conflicting mandates to both go and also to occupy. We spoke about how great sending organizations such as schools and or missions ministries must have both goers and occupiers in order to fulfill their purposes. We made some headway into answering these questions.What should God's kingdom people be focused on to both solidify current territories and advance into new territories? How does our understood authority and dominion determine our next steps for God's kingdom advance?To watch the show on YouTube go to:https://youtu.be/est_64U1kho0:25 Introduction to today's show.4:03 We're meant to occupy, send and go.5:00 Reaching the uttermost parts of the earth!7:41 A sending organization vs transitory community.12:15 The culmination of the ages.14:41 The marriage between occupying and sending.19:47 The disconnect between Christianity and the kingdom of God.23:37 What is the purpose of the planet? 25:44 We own the earth.31:07 The earth doesn't belong to God.To hear more from Steve Magnuson about the Kingdom of God go to:https://www.youtube.com/@shilohinternational6576Shiloh International is a prophetic voice established to boldly declare the manifestation of the Kingdom of God in our generation and articulate what a manifestation of His Kingdom looks like in the cities and nations of the earth.  MusicIntro and Outro Music by Jerry Abahhttps://youtu.be/NJFQvXk36oM  Get New Articles and Episodes in your Inbox - https://faithhorizons.com/sign-up/Get New Articles and Episodes in your Inbox - https://faithhorizons.com/sign-up/

Exciting news we now have a studio and do video recording as well as podcasting! You can find us on YouTube, and Rumble or just go to the show page at faithhorizon.com the exact link will be in the show notes. In this episode Bill gave an update on Genesis 1:1 Fine Arts we talked about artist missionaries and the current opportunities and needs of the ministry. We also discussed the upcoming Salt and Light Ministries event at Cloverleaf Apartments in South Kansas City. This apartment community is being revitalized with continued ministry and relationship building.  On another note, the Prayer walks are back in Ruskin Heights. Bill calls them prayer walks but I would say that they are more evangelistic than the name makes these walks sound. Lastly I would like to extend a special thanks to Julia Dell Otterness Bills wife for providing beautiful artwork for the Studio, you should be able to purchase her art soon at juliadellart.comGo to the Show Page:https://faithhorizons.com/kansas-city-outreach Learn More about Genesis 1:1https://otternessmissions.org/Learn More about Genesis 1:1https://www.genesis1-1art.org/ Get New Articles and Episodes in your Inbox - https://faithhorizons.com/sign-up/

There are a few changes I wanted to make the listeners aware of. In 2020 I started Two Podcasts, Faith Horizons and Joy Valley. The purpose of the Faith Horizons podcast is to discover the kingdom of God in Kansas City one conversation at a time. Through this podcast you learn about the practical ways businesses and ministries are representing the kingdom of God in Kansas City. The second podcast is called Joy Valley. Its purpose is to interview those who are focused on Christian based trauma and emotional healing ministries in Kansas City.  These ministries help those who are dealing with spiritual heart issues. I interview counselors and organizations who help individuals overcome their internal struggles. A few examples of these struggles would include grief, identity, or misunderstanding of God.After thinking about it and praying for some time, I am going to start publishing the Joy Valley podcast on both Faith Horizons and Joy Valley. To identify the different episodes, I will put Joy Valley in the titles of the podcasts that are Joy Valley. Joy Valley:  https://joyvalley.org/ Faith Horizons: https://faithhorizons.comGet New Articles and Episodes in your Inbox - https://faithhorizons.com/sign-up/

This conversation is the first of two parts I had with Eric and Chris Chia. In this first part I talked with Eric.  The term "faith without works is dead" can be found in James 2:17. I have heard this over and over again so often that it starts to lose it's wake up value! In my interview with Eric Chia we spoke a lot about taking risk, another way of stating the scripture in James could be (faith without risk is dead).  In our conversation we talked about the risk of following God, the opportunity and need for the church to participate in business and new innovations such as Web 3.0, block chain, and bitcoin wallets. This conversation got up close and personal!   As the body of Christ, we have the choice to participate or not participate in new technology. I personally believe there are patent-worthy ideas in the store houses of heaven and God is looking for the right people to be the stewards of these patents. How is God leading you to make faith investments in your life today?Eric and his son Chris Chia are part of a group called Tech for Causesand the KC Crypto Network with the Sending Project.http://techforcauses.io/Support the showGet New Articles and Episodes in your Inbox - https://faithhorizons.com/sign-up/

Today I have with me Steve Magnuson and we are going to talk about the kingdom of God. What is the kingdom of God? It's a good question. The whole bible trumpets the kingdom of God. The main objective of Jesus coming to earth was to reestablish the kingdom of God or the domain of God on the Earth. At the beginning of the gospels, you hear about John the Baptist who came crying in the desert repent for the kingdom of God is at hand. Jesus spoke often about the kingdom here are a few passages that come to mind seek first the kingdom of God or the kingdom of God is like a man who found a treasure in a field, and he sold everything he had and bought the field.
