In the Old Testament, prophets were equipped by God to illuminate His purpose for the people. One such leader, Zechariah, rallied the Jewish people after their Babylonian exile, using a “hope-ray vision” that was vibrant, revealing, and galvanizing. His powerful visions, bold promises, and vivid prophecies revealed God's heart to protect, restore, and lead His people. And that message still rings true today. Join Horizon at the Equipping Services for a verse-by-verse journey through ZECHARIAH as we see how Christ-followers, like the Israelites before us, can rediscover hope by looking deep into God's work.

Attention must first be given to God's Word, approaching every gathering with hunger and readiness to receive.We must also pay attention to God's men and God's work, recognising that the Lord often ministers through His servants and that the blessing may be found not only in the service but also in serving. Above all, we come with faith, expecting encounters and positioning our hearts to receive all that God has preparedBe blessed as you listen to this sermon.

We'd love to hear from you! Send us a text!We are almost halfway through the year!  Can you believe it?  Today's show doesn't offer a to-do list, a three step plan, or anything else Elizabeth has learned on her journey to be INTENTIONAL.  Instead, this is just a moment to pause, to reflect, to ask, and to do some personal journaling. Elizabeth will ask five questions worth sitting with, worth being honest about, and worth investing in. So take a deep breath, settle in, be willing to be honest with yourself, and go into it believing that the best is not behind you. Five reflection questions: 1.   What did January-you believe about this year that you've since proven wrong — and what did she get right?2.    What have you been tolerating that you haven't been willing to name out loud?3.    Who have you been showing up for — and who have you not been showing up for?4.    What would you do differently if you actually believed you were capable of it?5.    When this year is over, what do you want to be true that isn't yet?Elizabeth Pehrson created The Exchange in 2015. The Exchange is a monthly event     for ALL adult women. Women who work outside the home. And women who work in the home. Women who are single. And women who are married. Women who are moms. Women who are grand-moms. No matter what season of life you are in, The Exchange is here to inspire you to live life ON PURPOSE and WITH INTENTION.The Exchange is a non-profit that provides an environment for women to hear practical advice from topics Elizabeth has read and life lessons she has learned, and is currently learning. Equipping us to become better women tomorrow than we are today. And to ultimately use that to pour back into those around us.

We wrapped up My church and I series with My Church & Pastor. A pastor is not a mediator, a prayer contractor, or a spiritual broker. He is not God, nor is he perfect. The role of a pastor is to faithfully handle the Word, teach what was handed down by the apostles, and lead people to God, not to himself. In response, believers submit themselves to sound teaching, grow spiritually under pastoral guidance, and serve alongside their pastor in ministry. Our prayer is that you are blessed as you listen to this sermon.

Joel and Rachel McManigle have been back in Thailand for almost a year after furloughing in the States and are giving updates on where the Lord is leading them in ministry. They share insights about their journey and the significant role of the training center where they are currently serving. Originally focused on sending missionaries, it evolved to provide biblical training for local believers. Now, they feel called to bring back that original vision, emphasizing the need for local churches to send their own missionaries into communities still in need of the Gospel.

What does it mean to teach ‘leadership'? For most of human history, education and leadership formation were essentially the same thing. Only future leaders were formally educated. To educate someone was to form them - morally, civically, intellectually - for the responsibility of leading others. The classical traditions, whether Aristotelian, Stoic, or Confucian, did not aim to develop a leadership skill set, remaining agnostic to its ends. They aimed at wisdom, attempting to form a person who would be able to be a ‘good' leader.Then education became universal and at roughly the same moment, the shared moral and philosophical frameworks that had given classical formation its content were fragmenting under the weight of Enlightenment pluralism. In response, modern leadership development largely abandoned the project of forming the person in favour of helping individuals discover themselves and acquire tools to pursue whatever ends they chose. We exchanged formation for self-discovery, from becoming-before-doing, to becoming-through-doing. We have gained a great deal in that exchange — leadership development became accessible, personal, directly applicable to real dilemmas, and less paternalistic. But did the trade come with costs we don't always name?One cost may be that we have shifted the psychological burden onto the individual leader and assume they arrive in our classrooms with their own developed moral and ethical codes. This episode explores that tension. We discuss how we got here and what the most sophisticated modern responses to the problem look like – in the case of HEC Paris's Leadership Signature. We close with a question I find myself increasingly focused on: whether modern leadership development, in its emphasis on personalised insight and emotional resonance, may be optimising for the experience of insight rather than the slower, harder, more humbling work of insight formation — and whether AI is making that question newly urgent rather than answering it.I cannot think of anyone better to talk about all this than Emmanuel Coblence. Emmanuel is Associate Professor at HEC Paris and Academic Director of the school's Leadership programs in Executive Education — an architect, in other words, of one of the most thoughtful modern answers to the question we are asking. His "Leadership Signature" approach refuses the prescriptive recipe: rather than telling executives what kind of leader to be, it gives them a method for discovering and refining a leadership style that is genuinely their own, scaffolded by mentors, mirrors, and sponsors rather than by a fixed doctrine. I have had the pleasure of seeing him in the classroom – a masterclass in the art and science of executive education.Apart from his academic life, he has been a municipal councillor in Paris since 2014, with a focus on educational policy. This gives him a practitioner's eye on the civic dimensions of formation that pure academics often miss. And he is currently building an AI Leadership Mentor at HEC — which makes him one of the very few people qualified to think honestly about both the promise and the limits of what AI can give us in this domain.It is always a pleasure to speak to Emmanuel. He is generous, rigorous and is willing to engage with genuinely uncomfortable questions - including questions at the heart of both of our work. I learned a great deal.

Today's teaching on “My Church & Doubts” reminded us that there is a difference between doubt and disbelief. Doubt is wrestling with questions and uncertainty, while disbelief is the refusal to believe even when truth is evident. We saw throughout Scripture that God is not afraid of our questions, and that believers can bring their doubts honestly before Him.We also learnt that faith does not mean having every answer. There comes a point where knowledge reaches its limit and faith requires a response. God calls us to seek truth sincerely, to ask questions with the right heart, and to remember that the goal is not merely to win arguments, but to win people.Most importantly, we were reminded that doubt should not drive us away from God, but closer to Him. Read, learn, ask questions, speak to wise spiritual leaders, and take your doubts to Jesus. There is grace for the believer who genuinely wants to know and trust God more.

In the Old Testament, prophets were equipped by God to illuminate His purpose for the people. One such leader, Zechariah, rallied the Jewish people after their Babylonian exile, using a “hope-ray vision” that was vibrant, revealing, and galvanizing. His powerful visions, bold promises, and vivid prophecies revealed God's heart to protect, restore, and lead His people. And that message still rings true today. Join Horizon at the Equipping Services for a verse-by-verse journey through ZECHARIAH as we see how Christ-followers, like the Israelites before us, can rediscover hope by looking deep into God's work.

The SBTC's mission is to mobilize its 2,880 churches to multiply disciple making movements in Texas and around the world. In the past year, the convention has planted 68 churches and projects even more in the year ahead. In addition to planting churches in their own state, they're committed to building partnerships across the country and around the world for the sake of the gospel. The SBTC is committed to assisting churches in dealing with issues like protecting the sanctity of life, gender and sexuality, and more. Just last year, the SBTC was involved in the Supreme Court case Free Speech Coalition, Inc. v. Paxton, which contested a Texas state law that required age verification to protect children from sexually explicit content. By God's grace, the Texas law was upheld in a six three ruling communicating that states have authority in such decisions.On today's episode, Dr. Gary Hollingsworth, ERLC interim President, chats with Nathan Lorick about the opportunities and challenges they're facing in equipping Texas pastors to minister well in their communities. Listen to more episodes of The ERLC Podcast at erlc.com/podcast.

Just like one might assemble clothing, shoes, and accessories for an outfit, a woman wears many qualities in her role as a mom -- tenderness, mercy, kindness, and humility to name a few. This "perfect look" very much resembles the characteristics of a loving God, one who puts on love, patience and forgiveness in His relationship with us, His imperfect children. Join Horizon on Sunday, May 10th as we take a look at "A Mother's Wardrobe."
