In Vorbereitung einer ganz besonderen Premiere gibt es ein neues Kantinengeplauder: Moderator Fabian Ranglack begrüßt diesmal die Schauspielerin und Regisseurin Samia Chancrin. Neben ihr gehören die Ausstatterin Sarah Methner und die beiden Digitalkünstler Markus Schubert und Georg Werner zum Regieteam des Jugendstücks Every Heart is Built Around a Memory. Für diese Produktion haben die Theaterwerkstätten eine richtiggehende Spiele-Stadt in die Probebühne in der Steinstraße 4 gebaut. Denn die Geschichte um die kürzlich unter nicht geklärten Umständen verstorbene Marie und ihre beiden Schwestern Carla und Nina wird als Game Theatre erzählt. Samia erklärt, was das heißt und gewährt spannende Einblicke in eine Produktion, die so ganz anders entsteht als eine klassische Theaterinszenierung und auch dem Publikum so ganz andere Möglichkeiten der Teilnahme und Beeinflussung einräumt. Sie berichtet von ersten Erfahrungen mit Testzuschauern und von dem spannenden Prozess, der das Team – zu dem natürlich auch ein Ensemble gehört, in diesem Fall die Schauspielerinnen Katharina Apitz, Katarzyna Kluczna und Antonia Schwingel – vor immer neue Herausforderungen stellt, die wiederum neue Ideen entstehen lassen. Dazu gehört unter anderem, dass diese Inszenierung komplett zweisprachig – auf Deutsch und Polnisch – stattfinden können soll.

In this episode, we ask ourselves if we are making room for Christ?

Send us a text“There was no room for them at the inn” (Luke 2:7). “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).“Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us” (Romans 5:5). “Now may the God of hope fill us with all joy and peace in believing, that (we) may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit” (Romans 15:13). “You will show (us) the path of life; in Your Presence is fullness of joy!” (Psalm 16:11)Written and sent out from the morning prayer time of Tommy Hays each day.God bless you and may you have a great day!—Tommy Hays | Messiah Ministrieshttp://messiah-ministries.org

In this episode of "A Conversation on...", we delve deep into the essence of Corner Church's mission—Multiplication through Love. Moving beyond the initial 'WHY' of our journey, we explore the 'HOW' with tangible enthusiasm, illustrating our commitment to spreading Jesus' unconditional love. Through heartfelt narratives and biblical parables of the Lost Sheep, the Lost Coin, and the Lost Son, we emphasize the importance of each individual in echoing Jesus' love across communities. Our discussion also navigates the cultural labor goal contrasting corporate efficiency with our church's vision of inclusivity and participation. With personal stories from our church family, and reflections on the biblical principles of unity and love as outlined by Paul, this episode is a call to action for everyone to play a vital role in God's plan. Join us as we discuss overcoming the challenges of church planting with love at the forefront, fostering a community where every member's contribution is valued and celebrated.

The Christmas season is upon us! This is a unique time in the calendar year when nominal Christians and occasional visitors will come to your church to sing songs and listen to a sermon. How can we leverage this opportunity for the gospel? How can a preacher, who has perhaps preached dozens of Christmas messages over the years, keep it “fresh” now? Eight former guests of the podcast were asked exactly that question and have submitted their answers.Our hope is that as you listen to these different perspectives and ideas that it will stir your heart with fresh enthusiasm this upcoming December!

Every Heart Restored Fred Stoeker pt 2 Fred Stoeker is back today as he continues to minister to men – and women – who are overwhelmed and under extreme conviction because of their addiction to pornography.  In our previous two interviews, Fred shared highlights from his book, “Every Man's Battle” in the first interview and in the last interview, we discussed his book, “Battle On – Battle Over.” In that book, Fred educated us on “The Stealth Trap.” Amen! If you missed either of those episodes, go back to the archives and dig them out. Amen. Just type in “Fred Stoeker” in the search area on our website and you will see them pop right up. Praise God. Today, Fred is going to be sharing with us from his book, “Every Heart Restored.”  This book was written by both, Fred and his wife, Brenda. This book in particular has been written for the wives of husbands that are sexually addicted to porn. Wives in this situation are usually caught off guard and crushed by this type of betrayal and feel like they are now caught in a nightmare. Fred is here today to share insight into this and offer help, hope and encouragement if you or someone you may know is in this situation. Today is part two of a great two part interview! So it the husbands responsibility to demonstrate to his wife that he can be trusted? Why do husbands “seem to be” restored more quickly than wives in the aftermath of her discovery of his addiction? What if he never changes?  What if he continues to pursue his addiction? I know we are talking here about your book, “Every Heart Restored,” and what happens when a wife discovers her husband is addicted to porn. But would these same principles apply the other way around? What if a husband discovers his wife is addicted to porn? Fred, this has been so interesting. How can someone obtain a copy of this book, “Every Heart Restored?”  Is it on Amazon? If someone wanted to reach out to you, to ask a question or possibly do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you? I'll put links to all this in the show notes below. Folks, this day and time in which we live is definitely a pornography driven generation. You can't watch a commercial on television without being exposed to it. Fred Stoeker and his wife, Brenda, have put together this very important book, “Every Heart Restored,” for such a time as this. I urge you, if you or someone you know is having issues in the area of pornography and you feel trapped with no way out, drop down into the show notes and reach out to Fred Stoeker. Order his books. Especially if you are woman whose husband is caught in this evil trap. Order “Every Heart Restored” right now. Amen! Drop down into the show notes and all the links are right there. Fred, once again, thank you for coming on the program today and sharing all about this great book, “Every Heart Restored.” I'm in agreement with you, this is definitely a needful book for this day and time in which we live. I do appreciate you coming back

Fred is here today to share insight into this and offer help, hope and encouragement if you or someone you may know is in this situation. Help me welcome back to the program, Fred Stoeker!  Fred, it is so good to have you come back on the program and sharing this important information with our listeners! For those that may have missed our earlier interviews, can you share with us in your own words, “Who is Fred Stoeker?” You wrote this book with your wife… What initially brought this to your mind that this would be a good idea to write a book that ministered to the women who have been caught up in the shocking revelation that their husband is addicted to pornography? What is usually the first thoughts and reactions when a woman discovers her husband has been watching pornography? Is it true that a husband's porn addiction is not caused by something lacking in his wife. It is not caused by his wife's failing. Do some women feel like they are weak by struggling in an effort to trust her husband again? So it the husbands responsibility to demonstrate to his wife that he can be trusted? Why do husbands “seem to be” restored more quickly than wives in the aftermath of her discovery of his addiction? What if he never changes?  What if he continues to pursue his addiction? Folks, this day and time in which we live is definitely a pornography driven generation. You can't watch a commercial on television without being exposed to it. Fred Stoeker and his wife, Brenda, have put together this very important book, “Every Heart Restored,” for such a time as this. I urge you, if you or someone you know is having issues in the area of pornography and you feel trapped with no way out, drop down into the show notes and reach out to Fred Stoeker. Order his books. Especially if you are woman whose husband is caught in this evil trap. Order “Every Heart Restored” right now. Amen! CONTACT INFORMATION:
