Description: In this episode, host Oren Martin is joined by guests Blake Holmes and Dr. Stephen Presley to discuss why church history matters, what we can learn from it, how to engage our culture with the gospel, and how to think and act Christianly when it comes to politics.  Part I: Introduction (00:00-04:23) Center for Religion, Culture, & Democracy The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary Dr. Stephen Presley, Cultural Sanctification: Engaging the World like the Early Church  Part II: What is the value of church history and why should it matter for Christians today? (04:23-08:24) Athanasius, On the Incarnation (Introduction by C.S. Lewis) St. Augustine, On the Catechising of the Uninstructed  Part III: Is politics the downstream from culture and how should our discipleship to Jesus inform our culture and our politics? (08:24-13:06) 10 Things You Should Know about Catechesis James Davidson Hunter, To Change the World: The Irony, Tragedy, and Possibility of Christianity in the Late Modern World  Part IV: As believers, how are we to live as Christian citizens? (08:24-16:17) “We should avoid the dangers of both the warrior mentality that can lead to anger and the passivity that can generate separatism and seclusion. This is no mushy middle, but a stalwart high ground on which one will not lose footing or tumble off in either direction. Walking this tightrope requires the pursuit of virtuous living that demonstrates Christians to be the best citizens.” Dr. Stephen Presley, Cultural Sanctification (page 70). “I choose not to fall on either side, but have a posture of confidence, of hope, of fortitude, of living faithfully in this situation and that is what I found in the early church doing.” Dr. Stephen Presley.  Part V: How do we see similarities and dissimilarities between the early church and the church today?

(22:06-30:15) Who was Tertullian? Who was Polycarp? Blandina: A Sister in Christ and a Spiritual Mother Who was Eusebius of Caesarea? “Christians are not distinguished from the rest of humanity, by country, language, or custom. For no where do they live in cities of their own, nor do they speak some unusual dialect, nor do they practice an eccentric lifestyle. They demonstrate the remarkable and admittedly unusual character of their own citizenship, that is, they live in their own countries as aliens, they participate in everything as citizens, yet endure everything as foreigners. They live on earth, but their citizenship is on Heaven.” – The Epistle to Diognetus  Scripture Mentioned: Romans 13:1, 1 Peter 2:13-17, 1 Peter 3:14-17.  Part VII: Who are some things from church history that we can learn from today? (30:15-40:54) Tertullian, The Apology 

Leaders have SO much on their plates, that we often don't make time for prayer. After studying extraordinary kingdom leaders, Peter Greer is convinced prayer is one of THE great practices of amazing leaders. Peter shares insights from his book on prayer and highlights the prayer habits of extraordinary leaders. They also explore the obstacles that leaders face in engaging in prayer and the need to prioritize prayer in busy lives. Peter emphasizes the value of wasting time in prayer and the impact it can have on intimacy with God. They discuss the importance of shaping cultures of prayer and offer practical recommendations for personal prayer practices. Instead of just talking about prayer we leave you with a guided prayer time at the end.   About Peter Greer Prior to joining Hope International, Peter worked internationally as a micro-finance advisor in Cambodia, technical advisor for Self-Help Development Foundation in Zimbabwe, and managing director for Urwego Community Bank in Rwanda. He received a B.S. in international business from Messiah College and an MPP from Harvard's Kennedy School. As an advocate for the Church's role in missions and alleviating extreme poverty, Peter has been a speaker at a number of conferences, and he has been featured by Christianity Today, World, Forbes, CNN, and RELEVANT. He has also written The Spiritual Danger of Doing Good (with Anna Haggard, 2013), Mission Drift (with Chris Horst, 2014; selected as a 2015 Book Award Winner from Christianity Today), Entrepreneurship for Human Flourishing (with Chris Horst, 2014), Stop Helping Us (2014), Watching Seeds Grow (with his son Keith, 2014), The Giver and the Gift (with David Weekley, 2015), 40/40 Vision (with Greg Lafferty, 2015), Created to Flourish (with Phil Smith, 2016), The Board and the CEO (with David Weekley, 2017), and Rooting for Rivals (with Chris Horst, 2018).

Peter Greer and Chris Horst, authors of Rooting for Rivals, join Carey to talk about the bad math of scarcity thinking. Peter and Chris dive into why abundance thinking works, envy and unhealthy competition in ministry and leadership, and how to overcome mission drift so you can begin to play an infinite game.

In this episode of the 5 Leadership Questions podcast, Todd Adkins and Dan Iten are joined by Chris Horst who most recently served as the chief advancement officer at HOPE International, where he employed his passion for advancing initiatives at the intersection of faith and work. They also discuss Chris' recent transition into a new chapter of his life and how one can transition out of an organization well while establishing a culture of trust and transparency between team members. BEST QUOTES “We are living in a place where stability is something that we can count on. I think the last few years really revealed how much we, at least for me personally, idolize stability and certainty.” – Chris Horst “The most important performance assessment you'll get is not during your tenure, but it's one, two, or even three years after you transition out of a leadership role.” – Peter Greer “If people are able to express that they might be thinking of leaving or processing a different calling on their life right now, I think that is something to strive for as a leader to be able to have those very candid and caring conversations.” – Todd Adkins “Leaders that have an agenda and ambition geared at serving their own careers often miss opportunities to faithfully serve in the places where they are.” – Chris Horst “A problem I see frequently is watching leaders that have come into their role with ambition and expectations, but oftentimes, it felt like they were never able to fully live into the role that they were in because they were constantly thinking about that steppingstone into what was next versus leaders that were just really focused on excelling in their work to serve the organization.” – Chris Horst RECOMMENDED RESOURCES The Gift of Disillusionment: Enduring Hope for Leaders After Idealism Fades by Chris Horst and Peter Greer Strong and Weak: Embracing a Life of Love, Risk and True Flourishing by Andy Crouch

If you can picture Sue Duffield in a kayak adrift in the middle of a lake without a paddle, then that memory and depiction could coincide with a spiritual revelation that, quite frankly, is evident of many ministries, non-profits and Christian leaders today. Adrift. They've either lost their paddle or their anchor. This episode gives fair warning to those who have forsaken their original calling. There's reasons why some believers literally just drift away. But there's also a biblically prophetic reason too, that in the end times - some will just fall away. Be encouraged and be strengthened by not letting your missional calling drift.  Also mentioned on this episode is the book, "Mission Drift - The Unspoken Crisis Facing Leaders, Charities and Churches", written by Peter Greer and Chris Horst, available on Amazon. This is a useful book for key leaders in churches, pastors, nonprofit agencies, and social service agencies. "Drift Ye Not!" www.sueduffield.com

I remember hearing John Maxwell say, years ago... "in ministry, you have to lead like you don't have to survive. You don't have to survive." I would say, in ministry, you may survive, but you won't get away unscathed. There will always be enough hurt to go around in ministry.And, that's okay! Even though people will do us dirty, that's okay, we can just make pretend they didn't. Now, don't hear me promoting psychological malpractice. We should not be looking for pain, nor should we allow people to walk all over us. But our response is quite important.In this episode I quote from The Gift of Disillusionment - Enduring Hope For Leaders After Idealism Fades by Peter Greer and Chris Horst.

How is disillusionment a gift? Christ Horst and Peter Greer talk about their latest book in which they show how Christian leaders from around the deal with setbacks, trials, suffering and failures in a way that demonstrates the hope of the gospel.  If you want to lead your business in a Christ-honoring way through both good times and hard times this conversation is for you.  We'll explore the meaning and value of disillusionment, the tension of suffering, the danger of comfort and the hope experienced by people like the prophet Jeremiah even in the midst of crushing disappointment or suffering. Conversation highlights: --Why is it important to reflect on the reality of disillusionment?  What is the antidote to disillusionment? --Headlines and social media are dominated by bad news and disillusionment.  But the world (and history) is also full of leaders who live with hope despite deep suffering and trials. --What is the biblical vision of hope? --The prophet Jeremiah as a guide for modern Christian leaders.  Jeremiah did the opposite of “building a platform.”  Where did Jeremiah find his hope? --Jeremiah 29:11 is the most quoted Old Testament verse.   Oops.  What is the real biblical narrative surrounding this passage? --“Meme-ified Christianity” doesn't actually address the frustrations and suffering in the world and in business. --An illusion about leading and serving is that you won't suffer, or that suffering isn't bound up with great leadership. However, many global Christian leaders demonstrate lives that move towards suffering and away from comfort.  --Jeremiah 17 is the centerpiece of the book, and it calls out the idol of self-reliance and calls every leader to trust in the LORD.  An important warning to Christians from a culture like the world of American business. --“Comfort can become an idol when good things are happening and you are unable to see it or thank God for it or recognize it is not of your own doing.” --Christian leaders who have navigated great difficulties and trials and who demonstrate great resiliency point to God as the source of their endurance, not themselves or their ‘grit'. --“Don't miss prosperity when it comes.” --“The gift of presence in pain is so much better than prescription.”  --Watch out for the kind of busyness that crowds out actually experiencing God and hearing from Him.  Connect and Learn More: Connect with Peter: https://www.linkedin.com/in/peterkgreer/ Learn more about Peter: https://www.peterkgreer.com/ Connect with Chris: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrishorst/ Learn more about Chris: https://chris-horst.com/ Get the book: https://www.amazon.com/Gift-Disillusionment-Enduring-Leaders-Idealism/dp/0764238264/ Connect with Aaron: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aaron-groen/

Peter Greer and Chris Horst from HOPE International share about their newest book, The Gift of Disillusionment: Enduring Hope For Leaders After Idealism Fades. If you are a leader who has felt disillusioned or cynical, this resource will help you journey from idealism to enduring hope.  https://www.vanderbloemen.com/blog/hope-through-burnout-podcast

Peter Greer serves as the President and CEO of HOPE International. Chris Horst is the Chief Advancement Officer. Peter and Chris have co-authored the books Mission Drift and Rooting for Rivals. Just this year, they published their latest book, The Gift of Disillusionment: Enduring Hope for Leaders After Idealism Fades. Based on stories of Christians around the world, this book reframes disillusionment as an invitation to dependence on God in difficult circumstances.

Do you feel discouraged because the realities of life have caused you to be disillusioned? Well, maybe you feel cynical. We've seen visionaries succumb to cynicism in these times, or at least cause them to coast. Today, our guests provide hope for us by calling this disillusionment a gift. Listen in as they talk about moving past the false hope of idealism to discover true Christian hope. Those of us in leadership at Christian organizations feel a call from God to serve, and also a vision for how our organization can make a difference in the world. That sense of vision and passion motivates our work. But what do you do when idealism hits unmet expectations and painful experiences? How do you lead forward through difficulties? Our guests today will give us insight into this important issue as we look for hope that will endure.  I'm delighted to welcome Chris Horst, chief advancement officer, and Peter Greer, CEO of HOPE International. In their leadership, they have been committed to working with BCWI for a flourishing workplace at HOPE International. Peter and Chris have recently co-authored a book – The Gift of Disillusionment: Enduring Hope for Leaders After Idealism Fades.  Find full show notes here: https://bit.ly/s7e26petergreerchrishorst Share the love.

“Disillusionment is the loss of a lie that we have believed.” —Peter Greer, HOPE International Most people who work in humanitarian and helping professions end up in a familiar cycle: idealism leads to disillusionment which leads to either cynicism, or hope.  Peter Greer and Chris Horst, both with HOPE International, have seen it again and again. For their new book, “The Gift of Disillusionment: Enduring Hope for Leaders After Idealism Fades,” they interviewed Christian leaders from around the world who have overcome disillusionment, gleaning lessons for the rest of us. In this episode, Jamie and Kent ask them about:  Takeaways from those interviews How to define hope Shepherding young idealists  Words of advice for people experiencing disillusionment for the first time Why it's important for the American church to find diverse voices, and why it was important for this book How to assess whether an organization is the right fit for you—and how HOPE assesses how candidates are the right fit for them RESOURCES: “The Gift of Disillusionment: Enduring Hope for Leaders After Idealism Fades” by Peter Greer & Chris Horst Where are you on the journey from idealism to enduring hope?

We are joined by Peter Greer and Chris Horst as they share about their book, Rooting for Rivals, and discuss the importance of collaboration and unity. Peter and Chris recount various stories from non-profit organizations across the country as well as their own leadership experiences that demonstrate the multiplying power of working alongside, rather than against, one another. They also offer several practical steps toward better collaboration among non-profit leaders, churches, and individuals who are all committed to providing more than enough for kids and families in their local communities.

Our guest in this episode is Becca Spradlin. Becca works with leaders to help them avoid mission drift and manage change.  In our conversation we talk about the foundational importance of your spiritual health—your spiritual reserves—as you seek to lead your company through seasons of change without losing your sense of mission.  Stay tuned to the end where we talk about this applies to your personal life and maybe even raising kids!  Conversation Highlights: -Joshua's exhortation to the people he led through change: “don't depart from God's word.” -Spiritual health is just as important to financial health if your business is going to survive and maintain its sense of mission during times of change or upheaval. -What are your sources of spiritual accountability? -Most people experience change as loss.  Good change management is an opportunity to shepherd people and shore up our Christian testimony -What motivates you to love in the midst of difficult changes?  Your expression of love is a doorway into sharing about the love of Christ. -If your focus is almost exclusively on profits, are you missing out on an opportunity to share how Christ changes all of our lives? -What are the business and spiritual risks of not doing change well? -Assume resistance to change and plan for it. -How do you help people cope with the process of change?  How do you disciple people through change? What change have you been through that didn't work? -One change management framework: Awareness, Desire, Knowledge, Ability, Reinforcement - Clear communication about change can be the difference between success and failure. The #1 cause of employee (and manager!) resistance to change is simply lack of awareness.    Learn more about Becca's work with On Mission at www.onmissionadvisors.com  The book Becca recommended during the podcast is Mission Drift by Peter Greer and Chris Horst of HOPE International.

Do others need to fail so you can succeed? I think most of us would instinctively say "no, of course not!" But do we live like it is true? Do we want our "competitors" to succeed? Maybe a little, but lets not get carried away.  In leadership, a common trap that we can fall into is a scarcity mindset, where we fear there is only so much resources and market share to go around. This even bleeds over into church/kingdom work as we think others need to go backwards for us to go forward.  In this episode, Alan has a conversation with author Chris Horst about collaborating for the sake of greater impact. Chris works for Hope International and he and his co-author noticed the tendency for organizations and leaders to isolate and compete. Chris went on a journey to explore the challenges and benefits of working together for greater impact and he shares the beauty and real stories of organizations around the world learning that we are better together.  More about Chris www.chris-horst.com Follow Chris @ChrisHorst www.hopeinternational.org Read "Rooting for Rivals"

We are not asking "Why are you living?" rather, "What purpose drives you?"   In This Episode, We Look At: Behind every purpose (or goal) there is a value. So, for those driven to live for the moment, the value behind that drive may be pleasure. Those who seek one accomplishment after another may have respect, recognition, or honor as their value. With all the hours we trade to earn money, it may seem that we are living for money, but that is not necessarily our value. Those who live for financial gain will inevitably find their hearts drawn away from God.   Resources and Links: 2 Kings 5 Mission Drift: The Unspoken Crisis Facing Leaders, Charities, and Churches, by Chris Horst.   Improve Your Faith and Finances: Measure every proposed purchase up against your personal mission statement and ask, "Is this in line with my values?"   Share Your Thoughts: If you have a question or comment about today's topic, we invite you to share your thoughts.

Rivalry in Christ-centered nonprofits and churches is all too common. Instead of seeing each other as co-laborers in Christ, fellow leaders and ministries often see each other as rivals—fierce competitors in a seemingly small marketplace for donors and resources. In their newest book, Rooting for Rivals, Peter Greer, Chris Horst, and Jill Heisey address this norm by encouraging Christ followers to lead and serve with open hands instead of clenched fists. In this episode, hear the heart behind the book and how you can help to advance the Kingdom of God through cooperation rather than competition.

Chris Horst is helping build a culture of collaboration among faith-based organizations. The new book he wrote with Peter Greer, Rooting for Rivals, comes out this summer. In it, Chris and Peter make the case that Christian faith-based organizations are stronger together than in isolation. In this episode, Chris lays out ways you can have a bias toward partnership as you seek the growth of God’s Kingdom.

Human flourishing depends on individuals who have an entrepreneurial spirit. In the past several decades, world poverty has plummeted in part due to capitalism and entrepreneurial endeavors. Chris Horst of HOPE International joins us today to talk about the importance of entrepreneurship for human flourishing.
