Send us a textWelcome to God-sized Stories!I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Dr. Dodge—a passionate church leader, author, and missionary whose own journey to faith began as a university student right here in the Midwest. Together, we touch on his remarkable story of coming to Christ, his calling to reach students on campuses across the world, and the meaningful church planting work he's been a part of, both here in the US and in the rural villages of Zambia.We also dive deep into his brand new book, “Gospel 201,” the much-anticipated follow-up to the best-selling “Gospel 101.” Dr. Dodge shares powerful insights on why a true understanding of the Gospel begins with grasping the heart of God's story from Genesis onward. We explore Jesus' parable of the sower and the seed—how it challenges us not just to hear, but to really listen and allow God's Word to take root in our lives in a way that bears fruit. We talk about the hurdles of a self-focused culture, the distractions in our day-to-day lives, and why approaching God with humility and a trembling heart is so important if we want to truly walk in our purpose.And here's something I'm excited to share with you: Dr. Dodge is giving away a free copy of “Gospel 201” to one of our listeners!

Those who receive Jesus by faith become children of God, embraced by His love and grace.

August 25, 2025 | Daniel Harris kicks off the fall semester by exploring who Jesus is and what Jesus does. Jesus is eternal, divine, and the Creator of all things. He exists in perfect unity with the Father and the Spirit. He gives life, shines as the light of the world, and darkness can never overcome Him. 

Happy Sunday! We are rebroadcasting an episode focusing on our college ministry series. This episode was broadcast  in August 2024 as we were and are in the middle of the college school year starting again.In this episode, Dr. Mo discusses the psychology of adjustment and how we can equip college students to most optimally cope with and manage the demands and challenges of this new life. Introspection is needed for all of us to assess the types of behaviors we need to adjust in life, and to determine if these behaviors are helpful or not.  And especially for our college students as they are adjusting to this new chapter in their lives. Tune in to this episode featuring our ministry to college students as we seek to assist them with adjusting in ways that are beneficial and healthy. Information for Dr. Gadson https://www.drmoniquesmithgadson.com/Link to order “Finding Hope in A Dark Place”:https://lexhampress.com/search?query=Finding%20Hope%20in%20a%20Dark%20Place%3A%20Facing%20Loneliness%2C%20Depression%2C%20and%20Anxiety%20with%20the%20Power%20of%20Grace&sortBy=Relevance&limit=30&page=1&ownership=all&geographicAvailability=allhttps://www.amazon.com/Finding-Hope-Dark-Place-Loneliness/dp/1683596358/ref=rvi_sccl_7/138-1785751-1148333?pd_rd_w=decCb&content-id=amzn1.sym.f5690a4d-f2bb-45d9-9d1b-736fee412437&pf_rd_p=f5690a4d-f2bb-45d9-9d1b-736fee412437&pf_rd_r=GMEBCA5ZB54MM98HHN5F&pd_rd_wg=pwctW&pd_rd_r=0cf054c6-aedd-427d-ac2a-563757407228&pd_rd_i=1683596358&psc=1Follow us on social media: https://www.facebook.com/And-The-Church-Said-Podcast-106848090932637https://instagram.com/drmoniquesmithgadson?igshid=1bmt2hei1j6i8Support And The Church Said:Cash App:  https://cash.app/$andthechurchsaidPayPal:  https://paypal.me/andthechurchsaid?locale.x=en_US.
