Peace. Hope. In our world? At this time? Start ringing the bells because Pastor Wendell Vinson says, “Absolutely!” Pastor, CityServe co-founder and world traveler, Pastor Vinson will shake you up with his refreshing, biblical perspective of HOPE. Are there global pressures, wars and rumors of wars, an elevation of evil? Yes, but God is using increased global pressures and rampant feelings of disconnect and despair to connect his church globally and move it back to the center of community, just as it was in days of old, providing care, healthcare, and education while meeting social needs. Every soul needs the hope of the gospel, which only becomes available through surrender to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Positioned to be His hands and feet, Pastor Vinson believes that this may be the church's finest hour. “Where sin abounds, grace abounds even more.” Strap on that armor, throw on a holly sprig and prepare for a season of life-changing HOPE.For Show Notes & Episode Details: https://cityserve.us/podcast/Get more inspirational content all week…FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/theinfluencerspodcastofficialINSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/theinfluencerspodcastofficialX (formerly TWITTER): https://twitter.com/hearinfluencersYOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@TheInfluencersPodcastRead cohost Dave Donaldson's Fox Op-Ed here.

Why is it so difficult to be thankful at this time of year? We plainly see much to be concerned over and that can be hard to rise above. Co-host Dave Donaldson breaks down the impact of gratitude in this empowering podcast and issues a challenge. Moved by the legacy of gratitude that he witnessed in the life of his 89-year-old grandmother and its ability to move light into the darkness, Donaldson reveals the untapped potential it holds for us. Gratitude is an element that gravity has no grip on. As Donaldson says, “Gratitude determines altitude.” It provides more than just a birds-eye view of our situations; through gratitude we gain a glimpse of God's perspective and that completely changes our purview. Today you are being called out from under the cloud cover in your life: “Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise.” Discover truths about gratitude and take the Gratitude Challenge; you will be amazed at where it takes you.*This message first aired at Canyon Hills Assembly of God, Bakersfield, California.

Be it the concerns at the Mexican border, orphaned little ones and widowed women of Ukraine, or the reversal of Roe v. Wade, there is one constant: brokenness. Scripture says, “As you have done unto the least of these, you have done unto me.” (Matt. 25:40)  But what can be done, and how can we do it? America has long been the city on the hill, saving and intervening for those mistreated, yet every day the needs within our own communities threaten our hope. Do we get lost in the brokenness or is it easier to become jaded? Dave Donaldson and Wendell Vinson pull back the curtain on the crises that threaten our homeland, revealing a God who can speak to the wind and waves of destruction, calm the seas, meet any need, and desires to use each of us, right where we are, to bring hope and healing in the midst of the storm. *This episode first aired on Dr. James Dobson's Family Talk.

Rotorua councillors have been left shocked after one of their own suddenly quit in a fiery exchange with mayor Steve Chadwick.Peter Bentley resigned, effective immediately, in a public council meeting during a discussion about the council's controversial Māori wards bill, which was put on pause just hours later.Other councillors have criticised the mayor's handling of the meeting.Chadwick says she is "disappointed" Bentley quit, and takes exception to what she believes were "disrespectful" accusations he made about her.In the full Rotorua Lakes Council meeting, Chadwick moved to include a confidential discussion about the Rotorua District Council (Representation Arrangements) Bill.She said it was to "enable us all as council, together, to have a free and frank discussion in response to the attorney general's request for further information needed to develop policy work".Attorney General David Parker last week found the bill would breach the Bill of Rights Act, but that more information may be needed for a full assessment.Chadwick's motion drew a point of order from councillor Reynold Macpherson to ask if her motion could be discussed.Chadwick said no, it was the chair's ruling."I have ruled."Bentley then raised an urgent item not on the agenda.Expressing his opinion, Bentley said: "The mayor found out very early that I would not be one to merely follow her and her radical and blatant racist ideas."Therefore, she has shunned me and not sought the practical advice I bring to this table."Chadwick interrupted Bentley with a point of order, but he continued to speak as Chadwick again made a point of order and stood up.Under standing orders for council meetings, when a chairperson stands during debate, members should sit down and be silent.Bentley also stood and councillor Mercia Yates called a point of order to which he said: "Who's that?".Chadwick, still standing, asked Bentley to "withdraw and apologise or leave the meeting".Bentley sat and said: "Well, my final statement, madam mayor -" before he was interrupted by Chadwick."No, there's no final say Councillor Bentley, I take exception to your ... "Bentley continued to speak, saying: "I have no longer confidence in this council and thereby tender my resignation effective immediately."Chadwick continued to speak as Bentley did, saying: "Councillor Bentley, I ask you to leave the meeting please, I've so ruled. Councillor Bentley, just leave the meeting."Bentley: "I have resigned, madam mayor."Chadwick: "Oh, well, there we are."Macpherson shook Bentley's hand as he left the table saying, "ka kite, e hoa".As Bentley left the council chamber, Chadwick said again she "took exception" to Bentley's remarks.Councillor Raj Kumar said he believed there was "a lot of public discontentment" surrounding the council's bill."For us to engage in confidential on this matter excludes them [from] what we have heard all over the media, it's very contentious and it would have been very fair and democratic to discuss this in public."Chadwick said she had made her ruling and there would be a public statement issued after the council's confidential discussion."I'm saddened that Councillor Bentley feels that way and has resigned."Deputy mayor Dave Donaldson asked if the council would vote on moving the discussion into confidential, and Chadwick said it didn't need to."I've made a chair's ruling."Councillor Reynold Macpherson said "very intense feelings" had been "generated" about the bill."For it to be moved into confidential will be regarded by ... "He was then interrupted with points of order from Chadwick and Yates, with Yates saying it had already been ruled.Chadwick said "thank you" to Yates.The council meeting continued, with Chadwick later moving it into a public-excluded section.Later, after the meeting was finished, the council released a statement from Chadwick saying the council had decided to "pause" the bill.COUNCILLORS REACTOutside the meeting, M...

They also give the backstory on how they wrote the song. (27:40-36:55): Aaron and Jeremy stick around to close out the hour and treat us to one more tune. This one is called “Precious Moments” and they say there is a funny origin to titling this song. (37:58-47:50): Christmas music may take mental toll, psychologist says. For those who would rather do without "Jingle Bells," a psychologist in Great Britain thinks you may be on to something.

(57:16-1:07:07): We are joined by author of “CityServe: Your Guide to Church-Based Compassion”, Dave Donaldson. Dave shares his amazing testimony of loss and compassion. He takes his story and translates compassion into serving the community, not just the church.

All pastors and church leaders worth their salt say they care about disadvantaged and disenfranchised people.

Nehemiah faced one of the of the most complicated and most documented leadership challenges ever when God called him to oversee rebuilding the wall around Jerusalem. At the time, Nehemiah lived a thousand miles from Jerusalem and served as the cupbearer to the most powerful king of the day. Warlords in the area around Jerusalem certainly didn’t want anyone rebuilding the wall because it would diminish their control over the people. So why would Nehemiah leave a legacy position, travel a far distance to take on a dangerous task no person had asked him to do, and incur personal sacrifice for a group of people he didn’t know?

(00:00-09:00): “Jimmy Carter tells church service he is 'absolutely and completely at ease' with death”. Brian touches on the career and humanitarian work of the former President and how God’s not done with him. How Carter is handling life is how we should, as Paul writes in Philippians “The live is Christ, and to die is gain”. (09:00-17:59): MY PILLOW READ. Kate Shellnut in Christianity Today writes “Harvest Elders Say James MacDonald Is ‘Biblically Disqualified’ From Ministry”. Brian talks about the difference of being disqualified from leadership and ministry. There needs to be an attitude change in order to redeem your leadership permission.

He takes his story and translates compassion into serving the community, not just the church. (27:50-35:52): Brian talks about one of his favorite films, The Shawshank Redemption, and the preaching properties of it. There is an aspect of hope from captivity/prison that the film parallels, and Tim Briggs goes into detail in The Gospel Coalition. Also, on another note, the US Postal Services is expected to return 1.9 million packages this year. (35:52-1:05:47): Director of the C.S. Lewis Institution of Chicago, KJ Johnson joins the show with Brian. He touches on the purpose and mission of the CSLI and how they equip people to be like Lewis, rather than just fans of him. Johnson talks briefly about discipleship and the lack thereof in the church, and shares his experiences in the military. How has the armed forces shaped his view of discipline and humility? (1:05:47-1:12:28): Brian and Ian’s “Weird Stuff We Found on the Internet”: Apparently, the military keeps secrets about aliens, and brain-eating worms are living in your head.

On the Day of Pentecost, the first Christians preached the gospel of Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit. Soon after, they also organized ministries to help the poor. This combination of evangelism and compassion is a biblical hallmark of Spirit-filled ministry. It’s also a template for action today. In this episode of the Influence Podcast, George P. Wood, executive editor of Influencemagazine, interviews Dave Donaldson and Wendell Vinson about how the local church can serve the city through compassionate ministry. Dave Donaldson and Wendell Vinson are editors of CityServe: Your Guide to Church-Based Compassion, just published by Salubris Resources. Donaldson is co-founder and chairman for CityServe International, whose visionis “to see the local church fulfill its calling to be a stronger catalyst for healthier communities and the restoration of broken lives.” Vinson is also co-founder of CityServe and pastor of Canyon Hills Church in Bakersfield, California.

It's no secret that international trade has been criticized lately. But why exactly are countries generally happy to trade within their borders -- from one state or town to another, for example -- but more reluctant to trade across international ones? And why are countries so focused on making things domestically? On this edition of the Odd Lots podcast we speak to an over-achiever in the field of economics who specializes in trade and is known for rigorous research that has included poring over railway records from the British Raj era in India. Dave Donaldson is the most recent recipient of the prestigious John Bates Clark Medal awarded to economists under the age of 40. He speaks about what he learned from studying trade across history and what exactly it has to offer in modern times.
