What if suffering is not a detour from life, but one of the places where meaning begins? In this episode of Leveraging Thought Leadership, Bill Sherman speaks with Dr. Suzan Song, MD, PhD, about instability, agency, and the human search for groundedness when life breaks open. Her work spans clinical care, global systems, conflict zones, and executive leadership. Her core question is simple and urgent: how do people move through suffering without losing themselves? Dr. Song shares the deeply personal origin of her work. After losing her father to violence as a teenager, she pushed forward through achievement, education, and service. Years later, while working with former child soldiers in Burundi, she found herself in danger and saw the connection between her past and her work. That moment helped her understand the deeper spark behind her mission. Her book, Why We Suffer, grew out of that mission. It is not a promise that life can be made painless. It is a practical look at how people can navigate hardship through narrative, ritual, purpose, connection, and agency. Dr. Song challenges the idea that healing is only individual. Across cultures, she has seen that people heal in relationship. The conversation also explores how instability shows up in leadership. CEOs, executive directors, governments, and communities are all facing rapid change. Funding shifts. Policy changes. War. Burnout. Cognitive fatigue. Dr. Song argues that the antidote to despair is not happiness. It is agency. Bill and Dr. Song discuss how thought leadership can be rooted in service, not ego. For Dr. Song, the work is not about claiming a label. It is about making ideas useful. It is about helping people, organizations, and systems respond to suffering with clarity, humility, and care. This episode is a powerful conversation for leaders, authors, speakers, consultants, and anyone trying to turn hard-earned experience into work that helps others. It asks us to look honestly at suffering. Then it asks an even more important question: what can we do with it? Three Key Takeaways: • Agency is the antidote to despair. When people face instability, the goal is not to force happiness. It is to find small, meaningful actions that restore a sense of control. • Suffering is both personal and collective. Hardship affects individuals, organizations, and communities. Healing often happens through connection, belonging, and shared support. • Resilience is more than pushing through. Real resilience comes from narrative, ritual, purpose, and relationships that help people make meaning and stay grounded during uncertainty. If this episode helped you think differently about instability and agency, listen to Episode 107 with David Komlos. That conversation explores how leaders tackle truly complex problems. You'll learn how to bring the right people and perspectives together, make better decisions, and move forward when there are no simple answers. It's a strong companion episode for anyone leading through uncertainty.

Seit 50 Jahren verbindet das Bistum Eichstätt eine enge Partnerschaft mit den Bistümern in Burundi. Gerhard Rott, Leiter des Referats Weltkirche, ist eng mit dem Land verbunden. Kurz bevor er erneut mit einer Delegation in das ostafrikanische Land aufbricht, spricht er mit Anika Taiber-Groh über bewegende Begegnungen, Hoffnung trotz großer Armut – und darüber, wie diese Partnerschaft bis heute Menschen auf beiden Seiten prägt.

The practice of healthcare is inherently powerful, and our patients are vulnerable to our power. Though power can be abused, the righteous use of power, for the benefit of the vulnerable, is profoundly Christlike. We will explore the lessons of power which help us understand our roles, including the fundamental nature of professionalism and key kingdom strategies of healthcare missions.

« Que demander à l'histoire ? », c'est la question du dossier du mois de mai de la revue « Esprit ». Anne-Lorraine Bujon, sa directrice et Emmanuel Laurentin, historien, homme de radio, un des conseillers de la rédaction de la publication, sont les invités de Pierre-Édouard Deldique pour tenter d'y répondre. Ce numéro rend hommage à l'historien, médiéviste Marc Bloch qui entrera au Panthéon le 23 juin 2026. Dans l'introduction de ce dossier, Emmanuel Laurentin s'interroge : « Mais pourquoi donc revient-on sans cesse à des ouvrages publiés il y a presque cent ans, dans une France qui a tant changé ? », allusion bien sûr à L'Étrange Défaite, le livre le plus connu de l'historien assassiné par les nazis en 1944, sans nul doute un des ouvrages les plus cités ces dernières années. L'histoire ? D'un côté, elle est convoquée pour légitimer des politiques, nourrir des identités, trancher des conflits mémoriels. De l'autre, elle est fragilisée, contestée, soupçonnée d'idéologie. Tout en rappelant qui fut Marc Bloch, Emmanuel Laurentin reprend donc la question que posait le grand intellectuel : « Que demander à l'histoire ? ». Celui-ci répondait en parlant de quête de vérité, de combat contre les fausses analogies, et de méfiance vers les leçons supposées de l'histoire. Le journaliste souligne en outre qu'un historien est l'homme de son époque et que le récit historique évolue au rythme des découvertes dans les archives notamment. Évoquant la vie de ce héros, au cours de l'émission, Anne-Lorraine Bujon et Emmanuel Laurentin font notamment référence à l'article de Cécile Vast qui narre le passé de résistant de Marc Bloch, sa vie de pensée et d'action. Dans ce dossier, les auteurs défendent une histoire qui ne soit ni un récit national figé, ni un catalogue de fautes à expier, mais un travail d'appréhension du passé échappant à la loi du présentisme (article de Michaël Foessel). En somme, la lecture de ce numéro de la revue Esprit nous indique que l'histoire fait montre d'une modestie éclairée. À noter, au fil de ses pages, un article de Jean-Pierre Chrétien en guise d'hommage à Marc Bloch. Celui-ci l'a aidé à comprendre l'histoire de l'Afrique du Rwanda et du Burundi. « Marc Bloch nous aide à ne pas oublier qu'en Afrique comme en Europe, l'utopie des origines traduit une réaction de fuite devant les défis historiques nouveaux », écrit-il.

John Edwards was, for many years, a homeless drug addict and alcoholic. His dramatic conversion at rock bottom launched him into the craziest adventures of being repeatedly buried alive (seen by c.100 million people through the airwaves), walking across whole nations whilst carrying a cross, helping criminals and addicts out of their own prisons of addiction, and more. It is a stunning and heart-warming story.I'd love you to check out: walkingfree.org and get behind John's work.---❤️ Support our work in Burundi: greatlakesoutreach.org/inspired⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠---▶️ Subscribe to us on YouTube

In this episode of The Long Form Podcast, Dr. Adonia Ayebare discusses the hidden diplomacy behind the Uganda–Rwanda fallout, regional security in eastern Congo, and the future of Africa in an increasingly unstable global order. As Uganda's Ambassador to the United Nations and a longtime advisor to Yoweri Museveni, Dr. Ayebare offers a rare behind-the-scenes perspective on how power actually works in East Africa and at the UN.The conversation explores the role of Muhoozi Kainerugaba in repairing Uganda–Rwanda relations, the operations of the Uganda People's Defence Force in eastern Congo, the unresolved conflicts in Burundi and the Great Lakes region, and whether multilateral institutions like the United Nations still serve African states fairly. This is a deep discussion on diplomacy, geopolitics, power, conflict, and Africa's future in a world increasingly shaped by force rather than rules.Sponsors:Threat Informat - https://threatinformant.io/                                               Akagera Medicines- https://www.akageramedicines.com Join our Patreon to enjoy ad-free viewing https://www.patreon.com/cw/TheLongFormPod or support us via our MTN Mobile Money Code 95462 or directly to our phone number: +250795462739Visit Sanny Ntayombya's Official Website: https://sannyntayombya.comProduced by LF Media

Six years ago, Katya Zamarin's mother was murdered by a stranger who also maimed her Aunt Julia. More recently, her father died of a heart attack. He visits Katya in a dream, and she believes he wants her to head to Paris for a conference organized by his environmentalist hero. Katya's youngest sister, Arielle, a recovering addict and aspiring actress, tags along. And Aunt Julia, once an infamous soap opera star, flies to Paris when Arielle suffers an unexplained sleeping sickness. Everyone is grappling with survival, grief, and worry about the climate in these two entwined novellas about sisters, family, identity, and finding one's purpose. Listen to this interview about Marriage to the Sea: Linked Novellas (Four Way Books, 2026) Sarah Stone was born in San Francisco; her father was a professor of psychology and an environmental activist and her mother a collagist, assemblagist, and ceramic sculptor. Sarah studied art and creative writing at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and later got her MFA in Fiction from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. She has taught ESL in Bujumbura, Burundi, and in person and on TV in Seoul, South Korea. She was a volunteer at the Jane Goodall chimpanzee orphanage in Bujumbura, a psychiatric aide in a locked facility by the Pacific Ocean, and office help at an apparently haunted massage school and retreat center in the Santa Cruz mountains. She has taught at UC Berkeley and the Warren Wilson MFA Program for Writers, among other places. She now lives in the SF East Bay and teaches creative writing online through Stanford Continuing Studies. She's also a facilitator of the Jewish Studio Process. Her books include Hungry Ghost Theater, a finalist for the 38th annual Northern California Book Awards; The True Sources of the Nile; and now Marriage to the Sea. She is also the co-author, with her spouse, Ron Nyren, of Deepening Fiction: A Practical Guide for Intermediate and Advanced Writers. When she's not writing or reading (though mostly she is writing or reading), she loves drawing, inventing recipes, exploring art museums, or picnicking on the beach with her extended family (bundled up, winter or summer, because the Northern California beaches tend to be bracing).

In 2018, Andrew O'Brien nearly lost his leg — and with it, the belief that his body could ever carry him the way it once had. Today, he's running 26.2 miles in Cape Town on May 24th to raise money for Congolese refugees through UNHCR, fueled by a love for Africa that was born during his first visit to Cape Town in 2019, was deepened in the internally displaced camps of Goma in the DRC in 2024, and cemented in the refugee camps of Burundi in 2025. This is a comeback story, a mission, and a whole lot of heart — and we're so glad he's back on the show to share it.

John Lennox came to worldwide attention and renown through debating the likes of famous atheists Dawkins and Hitchens, but less well known is his work behind the Iron Curtain, which impacted millions in its own right. At 82-years-old now, he's still managed to come out with two books this year alone, including his autobiography. His is a high-profile life well-lived indeed, free from any whiff of scandal; humble, gracious, laser-focused, it's wonderful to listen to this wise old hero of the faith looking back and readying himself to meet his Maker.▶️ Watch this as a video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/pJuRm0w3Rl4Check out www.johnlennox.org to see his debates with Dawkins et al, or buy his books, including his recently-released autobiography ‘John C.

Guest: Binta Diop, Former Special Envoy on Women, Peace and Security, African Union Host: Sumedha Tanwar, MPP Candidate, Harvard Kennedy School This episode of the CID Voices Road to GEM podcast examines the role of women in conflict resolution and peacebuilding across Africa. The conversation traces how women from the Mano River region, Burundi, and the DRC pushed their way into peace processes and shaped outcomes, from influencing peace accords to entrenching gender parity in constitutions. It explores the root causes of conflict on the continent, including poor governance, inequality, and lack of accountability, and asks why women remain largely absent from formal negotiations despite evidence of their impact. The discussion also turns to economic empowerment, particularly in agriculture, and what it would mean to reimagine international development around human capital and sustainable growth.

Upper Room AS YOURSELF: The Sacred Work of Embodying Grace, By Caroline VogelWhat does it really mean to love your neighbor as yourself? For many of us, loving God and loving others feels natural. But loving ourselves? That's the hard part. In her new book, As Yourself: The Sacred Work of Embodying Grace, spiritual director and therapist Caroline Vogel invites you into a different way of living—one rooted not in striving, but in receiving. Through honest storytelling, biblical insights, and gentle spiritual practices, Vogel helps you release perfectionism, quiet shame, and open yourself to the truth that God's grace is already alive within you. What if you didn't have to earn God's love? What if you could simply receive it—and live from it? As Yourself is an invitation to slow down, reconnect with the Spirit, and discover what it means to live as God's beloved—fully, freely, and just as you are.

Send us Fan MailDr. Jennifer Harling, pediatrician and neonatologist who spent six years practicing in Burundi, one of the poorest countries in the world, shares what it took to introduce breast milk fortification, bubble CPAP, and revised sepsis protocols in a setting with nurse-to-patient ratios as high as one to forty and near-zero access to medical supplies. She reflects on the extraordinary obstacles of implementing quality improvement in resource-limited environments — from procurement failures to language barriers to training nurses with limited formal education — and explains why sustainability ultimately came down to the same thing it does everywhere: culture. She also turns the lens around and offers what may be the most universally applicable lesson she brought back from Burundi: slow down, and ask the parent what their number one concern is today.Support the showAs always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.

« Macky abat ses cartes », s'exclame WalfQuotidien. Les auditions des candidats au poste de secrétaire général des Nations unies sont terminées. « Et c'est Macky, ex-président du Sénégal, qui en a porté le dernier coup de marteau hier, souligne le quotidien dakarois, en lançant cet appel : "Dans un monde fracturé comme jamais, nous devons rétablir la confiance et nous devons avoir la volonté d'agir. Et c'est dans le cadre de cette destinée partagée que je cherche à me mettre au service de l'ONU". » Durant cette audition, Macky Sall a abordé de nombreux thèmes, pointe WalfQuotidien : « la réforme du Conseil de sécurité, les changements climatiques, les conflits au Soudan, au Moyen-Orient, entre la Russie et l'Ukraine, la valorisation du multilinguisme au sein de l'ONU, les questions de genre, les droits humains, les financements, le terrorisme, le respect de la souveraineté des États, l'intelligence artificielle et aussi le détail de l'équipe qui pourrait l'accompagner s'il est élu. » Défenseur du multilatéralisme « Macky Sall candidat à l'ONU : un plaidoyer pour un multilatéralisme rénové et efficace », lance le site Xalima. « Dans un contexte international marqué par des crises multiples, Macky Sall a dressé un constat sans détour : "les défis actuels ne sont plus cycliques, mais systémiques", évoquant notamment les rivalités géopolitiques, les conflits armés, les vulnérabilités climatiques et les fractures socio-économiques croissantes. Face à ces tensions, il a défendu avec force le rôle central du multilatéralisme, qu'il considère comme “le cadre indispensable“ pour répondre aux enjeux globaux ». « Macky Sall présente sa vision axée sur le dialogue, l'écoute et la consultation », renchérit DakarActu. « Macky Sall se positionne comme "bâtisseur de ponts" pour diriger l'ONU », pointe Seneplus. Une « fragilité politique de taille » Reste que l'ancien président sénégalais n'a pas que des atouts dans la manche… « Si Macky Sall s'exprime avec l'assurance d'un chef d'État rodé aux arènes internationales, sa candidature repose sur une fragilité politique de taille, s'exclame Afrik.com : c'est le Burundi via son président Évariste Ndayishimiye, président en exercice de l'Union africaine, qui a officiellement porté sa candidature devant l'ONU, et non le Sénégal. Le Sénégal qui a signifié à l'UA qu'il n'avait "à aucun stade endossé" cette initiative, entraînant dans son sillage une vingtaine d'États membres du continent dans l'opposition. L'UA n'a donc pas accordé son quitus collectif à la candidature de Macky Sall. » Que reprochent les autorités sénégalaises à l'ancien président ? Réponse de L'Observateur Paalga à Ouagadougou : « un passif politique pour le moins encombrant. Le gouvernement sénégalais lui reproche notamment sa responsabilité dans les répressions sanglantes des manifestations entre 2021 et 2024, lesquelles ont fait plusieurs dizaines de morts. À cela s'ajoute une accusation tout aussi lourde : celle d'avoir soigneusement maquillé la réalité de la dette publique. Autant dire que l'ardoise est salée. (…) Entre Macky Sall et les nouveaux maîtres du pays de la Téranga, le président Bassirou Diomaye Faye et son Premier ministre Ousmane Sonko, la réconciliation n'est manifestement pas pour demain ». Suspense Alors Macky Sall succèdera-t-il à Antonio Guterres ? Qui de la Chilienne Michelle Bachelet, de l'Argentin Rafael Grossi, de la Costa-Ricaine Rebeca Grynspan et de Macky Sall étrennera le poste de 10e secrétaire général de l'ONU ? Rien n'est joué pour l'instant. Ce qui est sûr, c'est qu'aucune femme n'a encore été élue à ce poste et qu'il n'y a pas eu de secrétaire général sud-américain depuis 35 ans : on pourrait donc penser que les deux candidates sud-américaines sont les mieux placées. En tout cas, il faudra être patient, relève Jeune Afrique : « L'élection du prochain secrétaire général se décidera (d'abord) au sein du Conseil de sécurité, dont les 15 membres se prononceront seulement dans plusieurs mois. Pour Macky Sall comme pour ses concurrents, l'enjeu majeur consistera à éviter qu'un des cinq membres permanents ne mette son veto, ce qui vaut disqualification. Ensuite, l'élection se jouera devant les quinze membres du Conseil, à une majorité de neuf voix. Une échéance encore lointaine : pas avant la fin du mois de juillet. » Et c'est enfin l'Assemblée générale de l'ONU qui aura le dernier mot dans les mois qui suivront.

We learn about a new injectable microgel to help reduce bleeding in infants who require surgical care. In a mice model, it reduced bleeding by at least 50%. Ashley Brown, Professor of Biomedical Engineering at North Carolina State University and UNC Chapel Hill tells presenter Claudia Hammond more about this new material her team has designed.Joined by Professor of Global Health and Epidemiology at Boston University in the US, Dr Matthew Fox, Claudia hears about a mystery illness that is being investigated by health officials in Burundi, which has caused five deaths and sickened thirty-five people. So far lab analysis of the illness - which causes fever, vomiting, and diarrhoea - has been negative for Ebola and Marburg viruses, Rift Valley fever, and others.We hear about influential analysis from Cochrane which has concluded that "breakthrough" Alzheimer's drugs are unlikely to benefit patients. Researchers said the impact was "well below" what was needed to make a difference to dementia patients' lives. However, their report has also provoked a vicious backlash from equally esteemed scientists who label it as fundamentally flawed.We're joined by health journalist Katie Silver in Mexico, who brings us the news that the President, Claudia Sheinbaum, has announced the details of a plan to introduce universal healthcare – no mean feat in country of 130 million people.And we hear about an experiment that was done by academics to see if they could trick AI chatbots into believing in an entirely fake disease.

Qui va succéder à Antonio Guterres fin 2026 au poste de secrétaire général de l'ONU ? Aujourd'hui et demain, les quatre candidats sont auditionnés par l'Assemblée générale à New York. Sont en lice la Chilienne Michelle Bachelet, l'Argentin Rafael Grossi, la Costa-Ricaine Rebeca Grynspan et le Sénégalais Macky Sall. L'ancien chef d'État du Sénégal peut-il gagner ? Christophe Boisbouvier a posé la question à Francis Kpatindé, l'ancien porte-parole du HCR pour l'Afrique, qui enseigne aujourd'hui à Sciences Po Paris et qui n'exclut pas la victoire au finish d'un OVNI, à savoir Gianni Infantino, le patron de la FIFA. RFI : Francis Kpatindé, qui est favori selon vous pour succéder à Antonio Guterres ? Francis Kpatindé : Ils sont quatre candidats à passer le grand oral aujourd'hui et demain. Mais le sentiment général à New York, au siège de l'organisation, reste néanmoins que celle ou celui qui sera élu ne figure pas encore sur la liste actuelle, même si la date de dépôt des candidatures fixée au 1ᵉʳ avril est passée. Il ne faut donc pas exclure d'autres candidatures dans les semaines ou mois à venir. Un candidat peut donc surgir à la dernière minute et rafler la mise. Au siège de l'ONU, à New York toujours, certains évoquent déjà la candidature de l'actuel vice-secrétaire générale Amina J. Mohammed, qui est métisse, binationale du Nigeria et de la Grande-Bretagne. Et même, tenez-vous bien, celle du président en exercice de la FIFA, Gianni Infantino, connu pour sa proximité avec le président américain Donald Trump. Oui, donc c'est très ouvert. Mais si on en reste à ces quatre candidats actuels, quel est à votre avis le mieux placé ? Moi, je pense que ce sera un des candidats latino-américains. Donc soit l'ancienne présidente du Chili, Michelle Bachelet, soit l'actuel patron de l'Agence de l'énergie atomique, l'Argentin Rafael Grossi ? Oui, c'est ça. Et soit Madame Rebecca Grynspan aussi. Qui a été vice-présidente du Costa Rica ? Du Costa Rica. Voilà. La décision finale reviendra aux quinze membres du Conseil de sécurité, dont cinq ont le droit de veto. C'est à eux de donner le nom, de suggérer le nom à l'Assemblée générale des Nations unies. Et entre madame Bachelet, monsieur Grossi et madame Grynspan, qui a le meilleur profil pour plaire à la fois à l'Amérique, à la Chine et à la Russie ? Madame Bachelet est candidate. Elle a déjà travaillé aux Nations unies. Elle a même dirigé le Haut-Commissariat aux droits de l'homme des Nations Unies, tout comme ONU-Femmes. Et elle connaît le sérail. Mais comme elle est marquée à gauche, son pays, donc le Chili, lui a retiré sa couverture. Donc, à mon avis, elle aura quelques petites difficultés. Rafael Grossi semble être proche du gouvernement actuel, le gouvernement conservateur argentin et également, donc, il pourrait avoir les faveurs du président américain Donald Trump. Donc, je pense que Rafael Grossi pourrait emporter la mise parce que son profil correspond à l'air du temps. Et parce qu'il garde de bons rapports avec Vladimir Poutine et Xi Jinping ? Absolument. Il a de bons rapports aussi bien avec le président américain et le président de son pays qu'avec donc le président chinois et le président russe. Alors, parmi les quatre candidats, il y a donc l'ancien président du Sénégal, Macky Sall. Quelles sont ses chances alors ? Macky Sall joue une partie difficile. D'abord, l'Afrique a déjà occupé la fonction à deux reprises, donc a eu deux secrétaires généraux avec l'Egyptien Boutros Boutros-Ghali et le Ghanéen Kofi Annan. Sa candidature n'est pas portée par son pays d'origine ni par l'Union africaine. Pour faire bref, Macky Sall est le candidat du Burundi et de quelques autres chefs d'État africains, dont le Congolais Denis Sassou-Nguesso. Par ailleurs, la gouvernance politique et économique de Macky Sall fait l'objet de vifs débats depuis deux ans. Ses adversaires mettent en exergue la répression contre la jeunesse urbaine et des opposants, et le fait qu'il ait laissé derrière lui une dette cachée pour le moins colossale. Alors ce que disent les proches de l'ancien président sénégalais, c'est que s'il y avait eu un veto de l'un des cinq membres permanents du Conseil de sécurité, il n'aurait pas maintenu sa candidature. Mais le véto, vous savez, le veto jouera plus tard. À mon avis, on est au début d'un processus et la question du veto ne se pose pas pour l'instant. Mais Macky Sall ne joue-t-il pas sur le fait que pendant ses douze ans à la tête du Sénégal, il a noué de bons rapports, il a noué des rapports de confiance, à la fois avec Donald Trump, avec Xi Jinping, avec Vladimir Poutine. Il est allé essayer de faire une médiation entre Kiev et Moscou en 2022 ? Absolument. Macky Sall connaît tout ce monde pour avoir été président du Sénégal et président en exercice de l'Union africaine. Il faut le rappeler également. Mais vous savez, en face de lui, il y a des gens qui sont aguerris. Ce ne sont pas des bleus, il y a madame Bachelet qui a été présidente du Chili, qui a dirigé l'ONU-Femmes, qui a dirigé le Haut-Commissariat des Nations unies pour les droits de l'homme. Il y a Monsieur Grossi également, qui dirige une agence qui est capitale aujourd'hui dans l'évolution pour l'énergie atomique. Donc pour vous, Macky Sall, c'est un outsider ? Moi, je pense sincèrement, avec tout le respect qu'on lui doit, parce qu'il a été président du Sénégal pendant douze ans, je pense qu'il n'a vraiment pas de chance d'être le prochain secrétaire, le 10e secrétaire général des Nations unies. Ce serait une surprise ? Absolument. Ce serait une surprise, mais une grande surprise. Mais je ne pense pas qu'il remplisse les cases pour être le 10ᵉ secrétaire général des Nations unies.

Arthur White had it all - a great wife, healthy kids, a successful business, a villa in Spain - as well as being four-time World Powerlifting Champion. But when someone handed him a pill in the gym to speed his recovery, it was a slippery slope to addiction, infidelity, and losing it all. By all accounts, he should be long dead, but three decades after a remarkable encounter, he's still fighting fit, (re)married to the same woman, and sharing his story far and wide.

Fruitful domestic and international medical missions overlap in multiple ways. Both require cross-cultural skills, a willingness to work with limited resources, courage in the face of potentially dangerous situations, and possible disapproval from friends and family. Each is excellent preparation for the other. Many international workers spend furlough time working in American Christian health centers--and vice-versa.

John Eldredge is an author, counselor and teacher. His books have sold over 16 million worldwide. Wild at Heart as a ministry has exploded in impact, but I love how John has followed God's instruction to keep the organisation small and give it all away. Staying humble, rooted in community, and listening to God's voice have been the keys to longevity in fruitful ministry through the decades where many others have been taken out. Who indeed would have guessed that this former drug-fueled delinquent raised by alcoholics, kicked out of school, and with a criminal record, would be transformed into a healing voice used to lead many people across the globe back to a healthy relationship with their heavenly Father? Only God! There's lots of gold in this great conversation!▶️ Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/eHo9jmyQnf0For books, bootcamps, and connecting with John's work in all aspects, visit wildatheart.orgHow about downloading the One Minute Pause app?---Crippling inflation has shattered Burundi's economy (it averaged 34% last year!), and it is threatening the work of our partners in Burundi as costs continue to rise.
