In this SHORT episode of Purposely, we're back with Rose Challies – founder and director of Terra Nova Foundation – on the uncomfortable truths about how philanthropy actually works, and what it would look like if funders finally put people at the centre.Rose has a view that cuts through a lot of the noise in this space: we're not funding projects. We've never been funding projects. We're funding humans to do change making. The sooner philanthropy gets honest about that, the sooner we'll start backing the right things in the right ways.She's direct about the damage done by short-term funding. A 12-month grant is effectively a six-month grant, because six months in, people are already scanning the job pages. The people holding up some of the most important work in our communities have no security, and the sector treats that as normal. Rose doesn't.On the power dynamics in philanthropy, she's clear-eyed. If you control resources that someone else needs, that is a power relationship, whether you intend it to be or not. The best funders understand this and work actively to shift it. The rest… don't always notice.Rose also challenges the widespread assumption that philanthropic expertise is somehow optional. She compares it to medicine: we all have some understanding of health, but we don't all call ourselves doctors. Understanding what poverty or environmental harm looks like from the outside is different from understanding how to change it. That distinction matters, and the sector doesn't always honour it.And on the ‘no core funding' trend she's seeing from more and more funders: please pay the people doing the work. Even a contribution to someone's salary, alongside others, makes a difference. Refusing to fund people while demanding their expertise and impact is, in Rose's words, the biggest travesty in the sector right now.Key Themes• Why philanthropy funds people, not projects – and why we should say so• The real cost of 12-month grants and the insecurity baked into charity work• Power dynamics in funder-grantee relationships – and how to navigate them• Philanthropic expertise as a genuine discipline – not a nice-to-have• The ‘no core funding' trend and why it undermines the sector• Backing change makers directly: what it looks like and why it works• The difference between administrative grant making and change making philanthropy• New Zealand as a place to try things – and why that opportunity is worth protectingThis episode of Purposely is brought to you by Benevity and Trust Investments.

On what should have been his son's wedding day, Tim Challies stood at a graveside and read the wedding speech he never got to give. Months earlier, 20-year-old Nick had collapsed and died without warning. If God is good, why is the future we imagine buried? When the life we plan is gone and peace feels like a promise meant for someone else, is faith strong enough for the life we'd never choose?

Jesus did not call people to admire Him. He called them to follow Him.In this episode of Kitchen Table Theology, Pastor Jeff Cranston and Tiffany walk through three clear marks of true discipleship. Many believers know the right words, attend church consistently, and affirm sound doctrine. Yet the deeper question remains: Are we truly living as followers of Christ?This conversation examines what Jesus meant when He said, “Follow Me,” and challenges listeners to consider whether their lives reflect obedience, transformation, and love.What We Discussed02:30 Following Jesus Is More Than Intellectual AgreementJesus' call to follow Him is not merely agreement with doctrine. It's a call to obedience, surrender, and life change. Discipleship involves transformation, not just information.03:15 #1 Abiding in God's WordAbiding means staying rooted in Scripture so that it shapes decisions, priorities, convictions, and worldview. Discipleship begins with ongoing dependence on God's truth.07:05 Bearing Spiritual Fruit as Evidence of a Living FaithAuthentic faith produces visible evidence, not spiritual performance or curated appearances.09:30 Fruit Grows Through Faithfulness, Not Speed Discipleship is described as a slow, steady process. Jesus does not demand instant fruit. He calls for faithfulness over time. Growth may be gradual, but it is real.11:10 Loving as Jesus LovesThe defining mark of Jesus' disciples is a love that goes beyond preference or affection.12:40 Love Our Enemies Rooted in Matthew 5:44, this call challenges believers to reflect Christ's character in difficult relationships.14:20 Love Is Action, Not Feeling Biblical love is not primarily emotional. It is active and intentional. It expresses itself through obedience, sacrifice, and Spirit-empowered service.16:00 Why Love Is the Visible Badge of Discipleship While doctrine matters deeply, love is the evidence the world recognizes most clearly. Christlike love becomes the visible marker of a true disciple.18:45 Direction, Not Perfection The episode closes with a reminder that discipleship is about direction, not flawlessness. Jesus meets His followers where they are and calls them forward in faithfulness.“Discipleship isn't about hustle. It's about faithfulness.” – Pastor Jeff Cranston

How well do you really understand what Christ accomplished on the cross?In this episode of Kitchen Table Theology, Tiffany Coker and Pastor Jeff Cranston put the doctrine of the atonement to the test through a true-or-false theology quiz. Each question explores core biblical truths about sin, God's wrath, substitution, propitiation, and why Christ's death was absolutely necessary for salvation. Got all the questions right? To claim your mug, email pastorjeff@lowcountrycc.org and let us know you completed the atonement quiz and answered every question correctly. We'll be happy to send one your way.What We Discussed:02:55 Question #1: I have sinned against a holy God who hates sin, and I have offended Him.A: True03:45 Question #2: My sin separates me from God.A: True04:40 Question #3: Because of my sin, I deserve the wrath of God.A: True05:30 Question #4: The word atonement means to make amends by blotting out an offense.A: True06:40 Question #5: No one can escape the outpouring of God's wrath unless their sins are atoned for through the death of Christ.A: True07:55 Question #6: Christ's death on the cross on behalf of sinners caused the Father to love them.A: False09:05 Question #7: The primary purpose of Christ's death was to provide an example of God's love so sinners would be motivated to love Him.A: False10:20 Question #8: Christ's death on the cross was a ransom price paid to Satan to buy back sinners.A: False11:45 Question #9: Christ's death was a propitiatory sacrifice that appeased the wrath of God.A: True13:10 Question #10: When He died, Christ voluntarily substituted Himself for sinners.A: True14:20 Question #11: It was necessary for Christ to be human in order to substitute Himself for human sinners and endure God's wrath on their behalf.A: True15:25 Question #12: It was necessary for Christ to be sinless in order to substitute Himself for sinners and endure God's wrath on their behalf.A: True16:20 Question #13: It was necessary for Christ to die in order for God to save us. There was no other way.A: True“The cross stands at the very center of the Christian faith. Without it, we would be utterly lost.” – Pastor Jeff Cranston

If an alien were transplanted to earth, it wouldn't take long scrolling any social media platform to realize humans don't want to age. In fact, they will spend a lot of money not to look like time is passing. I'm encouraged by the way my friend Maryanne talks about how we can age in wisdom when the promise of eternal youth rings hollow.  This topic is coming at such an amazing time for me. I'm turning 35 this year, and our season has very much shifted. We went from being the youngest wherever we went to now moms with just toddlers asking me what it was like parenting for me when my kids were "little." I feel like I had come to terms with that, but I still very much feel myself freaking out. What encouragement would you have for me or women my age? When you look in the mirror... not how have you changed, but rather how has the way you've seen yourself changed over the years?  What have your 40s revealed about what is important? How does it reveal who we are becoming when things we once defined ourselves by are stripped away?  I think many people fear the way their marriage will shift as they get older. How have you seen marriage change as you and your husband have aged?

In this 3-part series Costi Hinn interviews pastor and author, Tim Challies, about the loss of his son, Nick, in 2020. Nick was a young man on the pathway to ministry and deeply loved by his family. He was engaged to Ryn, enjoying life, and going to school at Boyce College (Southern Seminary) when the Lord called him home suddenly. Tim has always been known for his faithful teaching and writing ministry (www.challies.com), but the Lord has seen fit to add a "ministry of sorrow" to Tim's life. This series will take a deep dive into the Challies family story, the aftermath of losing Nick, big questions about God's goodness, sovereignty, grief, and suffering as a Christian. 

Rumblings of Revival Among Gen Z? Challies on X: "There may not be times in your marriage when you stop loving your wife, but there may be times when you stop liking her. There may be times when you are easily irritated with her, when you just can't get along, or when a kind of despondency enters into the way you think of her…" Jason Kelce talking about the importance of fathers in his retirement speech The biggest problem with us is not that we want to be happy. It's that we're satisfied with inferior pleasuresSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, the fellas finish the Challies list of thoughts on the church and throw in a few of their own thoughts, as well.

Have you ever considered reading John Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion but don't know where to start? Today's episode is a guide to help you begin that journey. In Relatione (relevant links) Eowyn's Recommendation: The Magician's Nephew (consider also the BBC Radio Dramas) Battle's translation | the current standard English translation Knowing God and Ourselves: Reading Calvin's Institutes Devotionally | a devotional guide by David Calhoun 1541 Banner of Truth Edition | smaller than the final 1559 edition and can also be read with Calhoun's guide. Beveridge's translation | an older translation and a more cost-effective version Truth for All Time | a booklet by Calvin that is often a distillation of his original 1536 edition of the Institutes. Guide to Christian Living | a translation from the French of five chapters from the full Institutes A Little Book on the Christian Life | a translation of the same five chapters above from the Latin version (You can also find my teachings on this book here) Ex Interrete (a hodgepodge of Internet items that I enjoyed)⁠⁠The Mundanity of Excellence⁠⁠Shedding A worthwhile podcast episode to listen to. Tears Over Sorrows That May Never Come This post (from 2021 but was re-shared by Challies as a flashback this week) was instrumental in encouraging my wife to fight her anxiety of our eldest daughter's seizures. "How, then, can I let go of such anxiety? If I have learned any antidote it is this: deliberately submitting myself to the will of God, for comfort is closely related to acquiescence. As long as I fight the will of God, as long as I battle God's right to rule his world in his way, peace remains distant and furtive. But when I surrender, when I bow the knee, then peace flows like a river and “attendeth my way.” For when I do so, I remind myself that the will of God is inseparable from the character of God." 

In today's episode we're chatting with Maryanne Challies Helms about how to glorify the Lord even in the midst of what we might consider to be the “mundane” everyday work of life and ministry. Maryanne is a wife, a mother of four, and a fellow member of Morningside Presbyterian Church in Georgia. Maryanne embodies so well what it looks like to faithfully live as a Christian, especially in the current online spaces, which we talk about some in this episode! We pray this episode encourages you to see your work—even if it is ordinary or mundane—as beautiful unto the Lord and glorifying to him.

In so many moments throughout the day, little hands and hearts demand our time and attention, but we can't meet everyone's needs. With the flutter of noise, we grow impatient, our fuse is cut short. But it's not just these moments that try our long-suffering. Maybe it looks like wading through deep sorrow as you walk through suffering that won't let up. Maybe you're growing tired, because you expected your season of life to look different by now, but God still has you in the same place. If patience is a fruit of the Spirit dwelling in us (Gal. 5:22-23), why does it feel so hard to actually be patient? In this episode, Emily chats with her dear friend, Maryanne Challies Helms, on seeing the ways God is training us in patience through our everyday moments as moms. Be encouraged: whatever trial you're facing today, God has planned it for your growth and his glory—he will not leave you to fight this battle alone.

We've finished our 10 episode series on hymn writers and today we are going to talk about Matthew Henry, a British Nonconformist minister and author who wrote one of the most famous and influential biblical commentaries of all time. If you don't know him from his commentaries, you might know him from this famous quote: The woman was made of a rib out of the side of Adam; not made out of his head to rule over him, nor out of his feet to be trampled upon by him, but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected, and near his heart to be beloved. That's a beautiful sentiment and does much to demonstrate the character of this godly man.RESOURCESBanner of Truth: https://banneroftruth.org/us/about/banner-authors/matthew-henry/#:~:text=He%20began%20work%20on%20his,Henry's%20own%20notes%20and%20writings.Bible Study Tools: https://www.biblestudytools.com/commentaries/matthew-henry-complete/Bible Portal: https://bibleportal.com/commentary/mhcMatthewHenry.org https://www.matthewhenry.org/about/who-is-matthew-henry/Quaker.org: https://quaker.org/the-inner-light/Challies: https://www.challies.com/articles/the-puritans-matthew-henry/Intro Music: Country Strumstick Mountain Hop, by Andy Slater

Every day we're bombarded with messages and ideas that vie for our attention and acceptance. And with the internet and social media dominating so much of our lives, the need for spiritual discernment, the ability to rightly evaluate those ideas through the lens of scripture, is critically important.
