Episode 183 - Spiritual Formation For The Global Church With John Frederick and Ryan Brandt Episode sponsored by DiverseChurchJobs.com The church is called to grow in Christ. Yet too often, it ignores the practical dimensions of the faith. The church is one in Christ. Yet too often, it is divided by national, denominational, theological, and racial or ethnic boundaries.

In response to this and this conversation our host welcomes authors John Frederick and Ryan Brandt to the podcast to discuss and dialogue about their recent book, Spiritual Formation For the Global Church: A Multi-Denominational, Multi-Ethnic Approach. This edited volume offers a multi-denominational, multi-ethnic vision in which biblical scholars, theologians, and practitioners from around the world join together to pursue a cohesive yet diverse theology and praxis of spiritual formation for the global church.

We invited Ms Dana Anthony, a survivor and victor from Domestic Violence. According to National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (just a sample of statistics on Domestic Violence): On average, nearly 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner in the United States. During one year, this equates to more than 10 million women and men. 1 in 4 women and 1 in 9 men experience severe intimate partner physical violence, intimate partner contact sexual violence, and/or intimate partner stalking with impacts such as injury, fearfulness, post-traumatic stress disorder, use of victim services, contraction of sexually transmitted diseases, etc. 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men have experienced some form of physical violence by an intimate partner. This includes a range of behaviors (e.g. slapping, shoving, pushing) and in some cases might not be considered "domestic violence." 1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 men have been victims of severe physical violence (e.g. beating, burning, strangling) by an intimate partner in their lifetime. On a typical day, there are more than 20,000 phone calls placed to domestic violence hotlines nationwide. Only 34% of people who are injured by intimate partners receive medical care for their injuries. Source (and MORE statistics) Beyond these statistics, Dana shares her personal story. In Part 1 of this story, she sits down with our host, Christopher J Harris and shares honestly and transparently about being married to her abuser and how she navigated getting free and back on her feet.

Episode 176 - Marriage In The Middle With Dorothy Greco Episode sponsored by DiverseChurchJobs.com Are midlife marriages destined to descend into endless crises, distance, and unhappiness? Contrary to the current cultural narrative, no! Marriage in the Middle normalizes the challenges and surprises of this time frame and then comes alongside couples to help them thrive. Through story, Scripture, and hard-won wisdom, Dorothy Greco offers readers and listeners hope that midlife can be a season of recalibrating, shoring up vulnerabilities, and imagining new ways to create a mutually fulfilling marriage. Dorothy joins our host, Christopher J Harris, for an incredibly warming and insightful discussion on marriage in general and then marriages who are seasoned specifically. This conversation will leave you with that sense that you just saw down with your best friend, a counselor/therapists, and a Pastor all at the same time...well...because you did. You'll smile...you'll laugh...but you may get a little misty-eyed...and you'll want to take notes as well. Since graduating from Boston University in 1983, Dorothy has been working as a photographer, author, writer, and speaker. She feels equally at home speaking in front of hundreds or standing behind her camera without saying a word. Her words and images offer hope and encouragement to those longing for healing, reconciliation, and joy. Dorothy's writing has been featured in Christianity Today, Missio Alliance, MOPs, Relevant Magazine, Christians for Biblical Equality, The Mudroom, Sojourners, Biola Center for Marriage and Family, Christine Cain's Propel for Women, Perennial Generation, Patheos, and The Englewood Review of Books. Making Marriage Beautiful, her first book, was published by David C Cook in January of 2017. Her second book, Marriage in the Middle, was published by InterVarsity Press in September of 2020. Past and present photography clients include: The National Geographic, New England Home Magazine, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Boston Globe, Yankee Magazine, Mass General Hospital, Harvard University, Boston University, Knopf Publishers, Lexington Christian Academy, Boston Trinity Academy, Arnold Arboretum, Houghton Mifflin, and many more. Dorothy has won several awards from Communication Arts Photography Annual and National Press Photographers. Dorothy Greco is also a member of Redbud Writers' Guild and the Pelican Project. Dorothy and her husband, Christopher, have been married for 29 years. They have three grown sons and two amazing daughters-in-law. They love walking on beaches, traveling, seeing great theater, and kayaking. Dorothy also enjoys spending time with friends and figuring out how to make awesome paleo meals.

Episode 171 - The Intentional Church & Intentional Approach of Worship With Judith Christie McAllister Episode sponsored by DiverseChurchJobs.com The last few months has been an incredibly insightful ride. It has essentially been a masterclass in ministry leadership and church strategy. Today, we take it a step further and invite Dr Judith Christie McAllister to the podcast to discuss her life story, insight, wisdom, and thoughts around the most current ideas of churches, reaching new people and embracing the mandate of worship. She tackles the tough topics of gaps in worship, worship ministry challenges and more. Judith Christie-McAllister is without question one of the most influential music ministry leaders of our time. Born in Harlem NY, this Grammy-nominated choir director, songwriter, producer, author, and Oral Roberts University scholar, is most noted as being a forerunner of the Praise & Worship Movement in the late 70's. With a career span of over 30 years, Dr. J's fingerprints can be found on the hearts and lives of millions across the globe. Dr. J's music-alone has broken social and racial barriers in the church as her signature songs like, ‘High Praise' and the ever popular, ‘Hallelujah You're Worthy' can be heard around the world in multi-racial, Sunday morning worship services. Her theory is, “Worship is the answer to racism.” A portion of Judith's incredible catalog of music includes 4 albums: Sound The Trumpet (Judah Music, 2011); Raise The Praise (Judah Music, 2007); In His Presence (Judah Music, 2002); and Send Judah First (Judah Music, 2000). Judith's recording collaborations include: Bishop T.D. Jakes (Woman Thou Art Loosed-Run to the Water...The River Within), Tye Tribbett-Stand Out, J.J. Hairston & Youthful Praise-Exalted, and most notably, West Angeles COGIC Mass-No Limit, just to name a few. Dr. McAllister served for 17 years as the worship leader for West Angeles Church of God in Christ and 13 years as the church's Executive Director of the Music & Worship Arts Department. (Bishop Charles E. Blake, Sr. is the pastor of the 25,000 plus member church.) It was at West Angeles church where she initiated and co-produced West Angeles COGIC Mass Choir's project, No Limit, in which she earned a Grammy nomination. In 2009, McAllister was elevated to the office of Departmental President and Minister of Music for the 6.5 million-member, Church of God in Christ denomination. The Church of God in Christ (COGIC) is the largest Pentecostal denomination in the United States; with more than 12,000 congregations. In this assignment, she oversees the music ministry for major conferences and works with music leaders within various jurisdictions in the U.S. and around the world. As Minister of Music and leader of the legendary COGIC International Mass Choir, Judith has produced 4 music projects: The St. Louis Experience; The St. Louis Experience LIVE DVD; This is the Church of God in Christ (Single); and the recently released, We Must Never Forget (Full Album), a tribute to COGIC's heritage and founder, Bishop Charles Harrison Mason. Judith also wrote a book entitled, Harmony, a music ministry guide to aide music and worship leaders in personal and professional development. Judith, a loving wife and mother of 3, is the CEO of 3 entities: Judah Music Group LLC, Inheritance of Judah Ministries, and Never Ending Worship (N.E.W.) Enterprises LLC. Her mission is to unite and advance the Kingdom of God through the vehicles of education and music.

Episode 165 - Pivots, Pain, Passion, and Perspective With Kara Land Cannizzaro, Part 2 Episode sponsored by DiverseChurchJobs.com We welcomed to the studio, Kara Land Cannizzaro, for a two part conversation on how she's made a hard pivot from a successful career as an attorney to one where her health and family have been the focus. You can listen to Part 1 of our discussion here. So many of us are trying to simply figure it out. How to have good health, getting free from any disorders or bad habits, successfully manage our careers, have thriving families and home life, grow spiritually, and have a passion in life...all while having a peace of mind. Kara deals with all of this! (SPOILER ALERT: Alcohol was a major factor in her journey!) Kara Land Cannizzaro is a former attorney turned health and running coach and business mentor. She married to her high school sweetheart and has two kids, Dominick age 12 and Avery, age 10. She graduated from Florida State University in 2000 and again in 2005 with her Juris Doctor. She went into private practice in 2005, working in planning, zoning and local governmental matters but after 12 years and with two active kids, switched directions to pursue a career in health and wellness. She is now a full-time wellness coach and business mentor leading a team of over 1,200 men and women who help other moms and dads build healthy habits. Over the past 8 years, she has turned her focus to coaching her clients, and her own self-mastery journey, which includes the active study of leadership, mindfulness, growth mindset, wellness and living a life of purpose. That path and examination of her life led her to more fully embrace her relationship with Jesus Christ. She also decided to live a life free of alcohol and has been sober for over 4 years. Kara was active in student government and her sorority at FSU and was a collegiate athlete, walking on to the FSU Cross Country team. She's run 18 full marathons, has time-qualified for the coveted Boston Marathon 3 times and is a certified RRCA Running Coach.

Episode 161 - Tempered Resilience With Tod Bolsinger, Part 1 Episode sponsored by DiverseChurchJobs.com What type of leadership is needed in a moment that demands adaptive change? Tod Bolsinger, author of Canoeing the Mountains, is uniquely positioned to explore the qualities of adaptive leadership in contexts ranging from churches to nonprofit organizations. He deftly examines both the external challenges we face and the internal resistance that holds us back. Bolsinger writes: "To temper describes the process of heating, holding, hammering, cooling, and reheating that adds stress to raw iron until it becomes a glistening knife blade or chisel tip." When reflection and relationships are combined into a life of deliberate practice, leaders become both stronger and more flexible. As a result, these resilient leaders are able to offer greater wisdom and skill to the organizations they serve. Tod Bolsinger is the Vice-President for Vocation and Formation and Assistant Professor of Practical Theology at Fuller Theological Seminary. For seventeen years, he was the Senior Pastor of San Clemente Presbyterian Church in San Clemente, California, after serving for ten years at First Presbyterian Church of Hollywood. He earned a Ph.D. in Theology and Master of Divinity from Fuller Theological Seminary. He is the author of two books, including the Christianity Today Award of Merit recipient, It Takes a Church to Raise a Christian: How the community of God transforms lives. He blogs at http://bolsinger.blogs.com and speaks, consults and is an executive coach for corporate, non-profit, educational and church organizations in transformational leadership. Tod has been married to Beth since 1989. Beth is a marriage and family counselor who is an executive coach and consultant. She is also a professional artist. They have two young-adult children, Brooks and Ali. An avid outdoor lover, if he hadn't taken biology after lunch in high school, Tod would have been a National Park Ranger. When he retires, he is going to be a ski host who puts four people on every quad chair lift.
