Welcome to the Word Made Digital Podcast!--- A lifetime of daily, hidden obedience. This is the legacy of Dutch watchmaker Corrie Ten Boom, whose heroic efforts saved hundreds of Jewish lives during the German occupation of the Netherlands in WWII. It was not at a small cost to her or her family. Now, actress Nan Gurley steps into her shoes in the retelling of her life story “The Hiding Place” on screen. Nan shares the lessons she's learned from Corrie's life of obedience and devotion to God and the hope that she hopes to share with those who watch the film. ---Learn more about "The Hiding Place":Website: https://thehidingplacefilm.com/---Learn more about Word Made Digital:Website: https://www.wordmadedigital.com/Connect with us on Instagram: https://tinyurl.com/fsycm98mJoin our Facebook Group "Digital Church": https://tinyurl.com/hfwuecm9---Thank you to our sponsors:Compassion Canada: https://www.compassion.ca/​​​ Canadian Bible Society: https://biblesociety.ca/---Music: "Good Morning" by Laxcity Musicbed Licensed

Welcome to the Word Made Digital Podcast! --- Should we embrace new technology? What does digital rest look like? Would Jesus read the Bible app, use Twitter or play video games? In 2023, with the digital age in full swing and technology changing faster than the weather, these are real (and important questions to consider). How is tech affecting us internally? Should churches engage with social media and tech trends, or is it a foothold for something destructive? This week we're asking a Canadian expert on the intersection of faith and technology, Andrew Noble. Andrew is a husband, father, and graduate of Heritage College & Seminary (MDiv). He has written for The Gospel Coalition Canada, has served as the Labs Director for FaithTech, and currently co-hosts a podcast called What Would Jesus Tech. Andrew is also currently in pastoral ministry at Grandview Church (Kitchener, Ontario). --- Learn more about Andrew Noble: Twitter: https://twitter.com/nobullnoble Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nobullnoble/ WWJT Podcast: https://www.whatwouldjesustech.com/all-episodes --- Learn more about Word Made Digital: Website: https://www.wordmadedigital.com/ Connect with us on Instagram: https://tinyurl.com/fsycm98m Join our Facebook Group "Digital Church": https://tinyurl.com/hfwuecm9 --- Thank you to our sponsors: Compassion Canada: https://www.compassion.ca/​​​ Canadian Bible Society: https://biblesociety.ca/ --- Music: "Good Morning" by Laxcity Musicbed Licensed

Welcome to the Word Made Digital Podcast! --- The Church/Christians haven't historically been the best at talking about or empowering singleness. Meisha Watson wants to change that. Her podcast "My Single Story" is airing out all the misconceptions and assumptions to help encourage and support Christian singles from ALL walks of life to find hope. Meisha has been a guest on the podcast before, but this time...we're going DEEP because we're in the same boat! Single, living in the digital age, Christian. Not a bad place to be, but when it comes to dating the odds are most definitely not in our favour. So -- get all your cringe out of the way and then LEAN IN.

Welcome to the Word Made Digital Podcast! --- This was SUCH a fun episode. Connecting with a great friend, James Adams, to celebrate a massive milestone in his entrepreneurial journey. Many of us start a business dreaming of what it could be, hoping to make wise decisions along the way, helping it grow. Few entrepreneurs achieve it and then sell their business to a DREAM client. James Adams founded Visual Media Church in 2016, using his love for film and nature to create stunning visual backdrops for lyrics, bumper videos or whatever Church's needed. Now, James has announced that VMC is now ProContent and has officially been acquired by RenewedVision, creator of one of the most significant service prep and worship presentation software in the world, ProPresenter!James is sharing his journey, tips and reflections on the past and what he is looking forward to most in the future. --- Learn more about James Adams: Instagram: @jalexanderadamsProContent Instagram: @procontent Website: https://procontent.renewedvision.com/--- Learn more about Word Made Digital: Website: https://www.wordmadedigital.com/ Connect with us on Instagram: https://tinyurl.com/fsycm98m Join our Facebook Group "Digital Church": https://tinyurl.com/hfwuecm9 --- Thank you to our sponsors: Compassion Canada: https://www.compassion.ca/​​​ Canadian Bible Society: https://biblesociety.ca/ --- Music: "Good Morning" by Laxcity Musicbed Licensed

Welcome to the Word Made Digital Podcast! --- Is it just me, or are we all a LOT more skeptical about the news we are reading? The reality is, everything we read has a skew or influence. Not everything we read is false, either. We went to one of the best to help us understand good journalism, good fact-checking and breaking through media noise.

Welcome to the Word Made Digital Podcast! --- Jesus asked His disciples, "Who do you say I am?" It's a question that still needs an answer today. Author Jared Brock explores this question in his new book "A God Named Josh", and the answer to that question may challenge everything you once thought about who Jesus was during his time on earth, starting with his very name. This is a charged, provocative book that Jared has researched, studied and pushed the boundaries of his own comfort to learn all that he can about Jesus, the most revolutionary man who ever lived. --- Learn more about Jared's book "A God Named Josh" https://www.amazon.ca/God-Named-Josh-Uncovering-Christ/dp/0764239627 --- Learn more about Word Made Digital: Website: https://www.wordmadedigital.com/ Connect with us on Instagram: https://tinyurl.com/fsycm98m Join our Facebook Group "Digital Church": https://tinyurl.com/hfwuecm9 --- Thank you to our sponsors: Compassion Canada: https://www.compassion.ca/​​​ Canadian Bible Society: https://biblesociety.ca/ --- Music: "Good Morning" by Laxcity Musicbed Licensed

This week Andrew sat down with Dean Billings from Compassion Canada to learn a little bit more about his experiences, what drew him to working with Compassion, and what sets Compassion apart from everyone else. A special thank you to Dean for taking the extra time for this conversation, and for opening up his world and his heart to us, both on Sunday and today.

Welcome to the Word Made Digital Podcast! --- Have you noticed the huge trend toward “Orphaned” believers? Many evangelicals find themselves untethered, disillusioned, and—ultimately—orphaned as they grapple with the churches of their youth and embark on a search for a more loving, less corrupted, or different theological expression of the Christian faith. This week's podcast guest, Sara Billups is one of those “orphans”. She knows the grief of following Jesus while watching political pundits or powerful church leaders twist Christianity to support their ends. She knows the feeling of being alone, misunderstood, and maligned as she searches for a new way to participate in the story of God and his people. --- Listen to our weekly episodes of the podcast: Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/xw8k2t2r Apple Music: https://tinyurl.com/ytms6na7 Google: https://tinyurl.com/bjraf4vy --- Learn more about Sara Billups: Instagram: @sara.billups Website: www.sarabillups.com --- Learn more about Word Made Digital: Website: https://www.wordmadedigital.com/ Connect with us on Instagram: https://tinyurl.com/fsycm98m Join our Facebook Group "Digital Church": https://tinyurl.com/hfwuecm9 --- Thank you to our sponsors: Compassion Canada: https://www.compassion.ca/​​​ Canadian Bible Society: https://biblesociety.ca/ --- Music: "Good Morning" by Laxcity Musicbed Licensed

Welcome to the Word Made Digital Podcast! --- Missional Labs is an interdisciplinary community that works to launch new, imaginative ministry ventures in our modern missional context.

Welcome to the Word Made Digital Podcast! --- We all go through life with an "anthropology"--an idea about what humans are like, our potentials and limitations. High anthropology--thinking optimistically about human nature--can breed perfectionism, anxiety, burnout, loneliness, and resentment. In today's conversation, popular author and theologian David Zahl explores how our ideas about human nature influence our expectations in friendship, work, marriage, and politics and invites us into a biblically rooted and surprisingly life-giving low anthropology, which fosters hope, deep connection with others, lasting love, vulnerability, compassion, and happiness. --- Learn more about David Zahl: Instagram: @mockingbirdnyc Book - "Low Anthropology": https://www.amazon.ca/Low-Anthropology-Unlikely-Gracious-Yourself/dp/158743556X Mockingbird Ministries: https://mbird.com/ --- Learn more about Word Made Digital: Website: https://www.wordmadedigital.com/ Connect with us on Instagram: https://tinyurl.com/fsycm98m Join our Facebook Group "Digital Church": https://tinyurl.com/hfwuecm9 --- Thank you to our sponsors: Compassion Canada: https://www.compassion.ca/​​​ Canadian Bible Society: https://biblesociety.ca/ --- Music: "Good Morning" by Laxcity Musicbed Licensed

Welcome to the Word Made Digital Podcast!---In light of the fall of famous Christian leaders in recent years, the time has come for the church to reexamine its relationship to celebrity. Award-winning journalist Katelyn Beaty and author of "Celebrities for Jesus: How Personas, Platforms, and Profits Are Hurting the Church" explores how fame has reshaped the American church, and why celebrity is woven into the fabric of the evangelical movement. She identifies many ways fame has gone awry in recent years and shows us how evangelical culture is uniquely attracted to celebrity gurus over and against institutions.

Welcome to the Word Made Digital Podcast! --- Remember when we all saw the first Matrix movie and couldn't imagine a real-world that was digitally connected and dystopian could truly exist? That our bodies would be so connected to technology as to lose ourselves? Seems more close to real life somehow, in 2022. How do we lead and pastor in the most digitally connected, educated, wealthy cities in human history? Pastor and author Jay Kim works and lives in Silicon Valley. He proposes a thoughtful and practical approach to Analog Church and Analog Christianity, for the sake of our very souls. It is not an anti-technology view, but nor is it all-embracing. He helps us navigate this question as we all begin to see the cracks in how it is affecting our day-to-day lives, our churches, and our walk with Jesus. --- Learn more about Jay Kim: Instagram: @jaykimthinks Website: https://jaykimthinks.com/ --- Learn more about Word Made Digital: Website: https://www.wordmadedigital.com/ Connect with us on Instagram: https://tinyurl.com/fsycm98m Join our Facebook Group "Digital Church": https://tinyurl.com/hfwuecm9 --- Thank you to our Season 9 sponsors: Compassion Canada: https://www.compassion.ca/​​​ Canadian Bible Society: https://biblesociety.ca/ ServeHQ: https://servehq.church/ --- Music: "Good Morning" by Laxcity Musicbed Licensed

In a time where the list of pastors who are falling seems to be growing, we've been on the search for faithful pastors. Pastors who have finished well, stayed the course, maintained a deep love for Jesus and His Bride - pastors who have been faithful. Thankfully, we didn't have to look far. In this special mini-series, we circle around the topic of faithfulness with a group of leaders that have 5 to 50+ years of pastoral experience. We sat down with Darrell & Sharon Johnson, Helen Burns, Murray Coughlan, Jason Ballard and Jeremiah Niengor. This is part 2 of what we found.
