Speaking from Chestermere, Alberta, Preston invites us into a vision of pastoring that's slow, rooted, and profoundly local.

Barb McQuade hosts #SistersInLaw to discuss the SCOTUS ruling in Fischer, which threw out obstruction charges faced by a J6 rioter, explain why it should not affect Trump's case, and look ahead to the Court's immunity decision. Then, the #Sisters cover the overturning of the Chevron deference doctrine, decode how it will impact our rights and the ability of Congress to enact legislation, and spell out how the decision reinforces the death of stare decisis.  They also examine Julian Assange's guilty plea to violating the Espionage Act at WikiLeaks, explore the similarities to Trump's MAL case, and weigh whether Assange's actions were an act of journalism relatable to publishing the Pentagon Papers.

Talking about generosity in the Church should be about transformation, not a transaction. Giving is not primarily for the benefit of the Church or God's work but for the benefit of each believer and their relationship with God. It is not about fundraising; it's about discipleship. In this episode of Stewardship Leader, we're talking with Jim Sheppard, the CEO and Principal of Generis, about the vital need for discipleship in finances and how deeply connected it is to our faith and service to God and His Kingdom.

How can the people of God inhabit our cities - in workplaces, commutes & classrooms in a way that's coloured by the hope of God's kingdom breaking in? This week Tyler Staton and Pete Hughes join us on the podcast in a conversation that was originally a part of one of our Emerging Leaders Lab cohort sessions.  Tyler and Pete share about: Finding Rhythms of Personal & Corporate Prayer Creating a Culture of Contending Through Storytelling Seeing God's Redemptive Vision for Your City We were inspired by their ability to see redemption in their local communities and hope you will share their passion for your own city. Bio | Pete Hughes is the Senior Pastor of KXC, an Anglican church in the heart of London. Pete and his wife Bee planted the church in 2010, establishing a community with the simple vision to recklessly give themselves away to God, each other, and the people of King's Cross and beyond. Tyler Staton is the Lead Pastor of Bridgetown Church in Portland, Oregon, and the National Director of 24-7 Prayer USA. He is passionate about pursuing prayer—communion and conversation with God—while living deeply, poetically, wildly, and freely in the honest and gritty realities of day-to-day life. Tyler believes that justice is kinship, stories are a gift, and prayer is an invitation.  Tyler is also the author of Praying Like Monks, Living Like Fools and Searching for Enough: The High-Wire Walk Between Doubt and Faith, and the host of the Praying Like Monks, Living Like Fools Podcast. He lives in Portland with his wife Kirsten, and their sons Hank, Simon, and Amos. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Give⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ today⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to CCLN and help seed a hopeful future for the Church in Canada.

Nach dem gleichnamigen Roman von Guido Morselli War es eine Pandemie? Eine Naturkatastrophe? Der Dritte Weltkrieg? Am 2. Juni um 2 Uhr morgens verschwindet die gesamte Menschheit, lautlos und ohne Spuren zu hinterlassen. Zurück bleiben Dinge und Tiere, die sich schon bald mit wachsender Furchtlosigkeit hervorwagen, um die Erde wieder in ihren Besitz zu nehmen. Übriggeblieben ist außerdem: ein einziger Mensch, ein Einzelgänger, der mit der Welt nicht zurechtkam und sich in ebendieser Nacht, der Nacht vor seinem 40. Geburtstag, das Leben nehmen wollte. In einer paradoxen Umkehrung wird der verhinderte Selbstmörder nun zum einzigen Repräsentanten menschlichen Lebens, zur Menschheit schlechthin. Offen bleibt dabei die Frage, ob er, der einzig verschont Gebliebene, ein Auserwählter oder ein Verdammter ist. Geschrieben kurz vor dem Freitod des Autors, am 31. Juli 1973, ist „Dissipatio“ ein visionäres Porträt unserer heutigen Zeit, ein philosophisches Vermächtnis und das Testament eines großen italienischen Solitärs. Besetzung: Thiemo Strutzenberger Bearbeitung: Michael Krüger Komposition: Florentin Berger Monit und Johannes Wernicke Technische Realisation: Corinna Gathmann und Angelika Körber Regieassistenz: Sarah Veith Regie: Henri Hüster Dramaturgie: Michael Becker Redaktion: Thilo Guschas Produktion: Norddeutscher Rundfunk 2021 in Kooperation mit Deutschlandradio "Dissipatio humani generis" erschien 2021 im Suhrkamp Verlag.

Letting Jesus shepherd us into renewed courage and contentment when our vision for success has been broken is a wrestle many of us are familiar with.  It's a path that our guest this week, Evan Allnutt, has walked at different moments in his vocational journey. Through changing careers from teaching to ministry, taking on a Lead Pastor role at a new church, and navigating the changing cultural dynamics in the last 4 years, surrender and re-surrender to Christ's leading has been a red thread through it all. In moments where he felt like a failure, Evan shared how God stirred fresh hope in him as he situated himself within the rich legacy of the 87-year-old church he pastors, and the global Church as he heard stories of revival in his denomination, and witnessed the Church full of vibrancy and life in London, U.K.  For the pastor who feels discouraged or alone, this episode is drenched in Kingdom imagination & vulnerability. We hope that it emboldens you to press into where God has called you, as you look left and right and see who is running the race alongside you.Bio | Evan and his wife Kendal, along with their three children Izzy, Hardy, and Nola, have been proud residents of the Comox Valley since 2015. After dedicating five years as Youth Pastor and one year as Associate Pastor at Coastline Church in Victoria, Evan sensed a divine calling to assume the Lead Pastor role at Northgate. For the past 7 years, Evan has joyfully served this community, overseeing its growth from a single service in one city to three services across two cities. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Give⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ today⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to CCLN and help seed a hopeful future for the Church in Canada.

Mark Buchanan sits down with us again to explore everything from how storytelling forms us to our addiction to control.  He articulates how narratives help us navigate the truths of life and our identity, emphasizing the significance of weaving hope-filled, gospel-rooted stories into the fabric of our cultural imagination. Throughout our conversation, Mark draws from the life of David to think about leaning on character over gifting and the temptation of success. Mark offers a candid look into what spiritual practices have deepened his love for Jesus, and what he has been learning about the importance of deep friendships in this season of his life. This episode is an invitation to reevaluate our leadership in ministry, challenging us to lead in a manner that not only fosters integrity but cultivates a deeper love for Jesus. Bio | Mark is an author, Associate Professor of Theology at Ambrose University in Calgary, Alberta, and former pastor. His books include “God Walk: Moving at the Speed of Your Soul” and the ever-popular “The Rest of God.” In 2021 Mark and his wife Cheryl started New Story Community, a ministry that seeks to walk alongside Indigenous Women who need space for healing. The program focuses on academic and biblical study, skill development, and personal goal-setting.

In this episode, Jason sits down with the pioneer of the Alpha Course and former Vicar of Holy Trinity Brompton in London, Nicky Gumbel. Nicky shares about his journey of transitioning leadership at HTB after nearly two decades in the senior role, emphasizing the importance of healthy succession and not taking changes made by new leaders personally. Their church, HTB, is helping to train pastors in England through a new initiative called the Caleb and Peter streams. Their vision is to see tens of thousands of pastors equipped, coming from less educated and affluent backgrounds, or who have retired from previous careers and are in the later seasons of life. Later in the conversation, Nicky shares a profound vision for the future of the Church: that the bible would be translated and the gospel shared to 99.6% of the world by the 17th of April, 2033. Nicky's joy for evangelism and seeing as many people as possible come to know and follow Jesus is a beautiful gift to the global church. We hope this conversation stirs your imagination for what God can do in your own context as you seek to spread the good news of Jesus with others. Bio | Nicky Gumbel is the former vicar of Holy Trinity Brompton (HTB) in London. Together with his wife Pippa, they pioneered Alpha, an introduction to the Christian faith run by all the major Christian denominations in 169 countries. Nicky has written several best-selling books including Questions of Life, The Jesus Lifestyle, Searching Issues and A Life Worth Living.

Discipleship lies at the heart of the Christian journey, yet it often becomes compartmentalized within separate ministries or aspects of the Christian faith. Jeff Vanderstelt, with years of experience leading others in the way of Jesus and equipping the broader church through his writings, is now dedicated to mentoring pastors and leaders in gospel fluency and missional living. In this insightful discussion, Jason and Jeff delve into the significance of maintaining an open-handed approach to those entrusted to pastors' care, navigating critical voices, and the profound impact of Dallas Willard's last unanswered question.

For this 30-minute episode, we're stepping away from our usual podcast format to dive deep into a topic that we know many pastors feel stuck or uncomfortable in – the art of communicating about giving and generosity to a church.

In this episode, we deviate from our typical format of interviewing a pastor, to host a conversation with Pieter Valk from Equip on how the Church can live into loving and serving the LGBT+ community. Through conversations with pastors across Canada and beyond, we know that this topic holds a lot of questions and tensions for the pastor. To speak to that, we invited Chris Price, Teaching Pastor at The Way Church, to wade with Pieter into not just the theology of sexuality, marriage and singleness, but also how pastors can bridge the gap that often exists between the Church and this community. In the conversation they discuss Pieter's personal story of enduring same-sex attraction, why he landed outside the revisionist sexual ethic, what he wished pastors said to him growing up & much more. We hope this conversation serves to fuel your empathy and consideration for what it might look like for the Church to love a community that's dear to the Lord's heart. Bio | Pieter Valk is the director of EQUIP, a Nashville-based consulting ministry that partners with churches to become places where LGBT+ people can belong and thrive according to an orthodox Christian sexual ethic. Pieter graduated from Vanderbilt University with Highest Honors in Chemistry in 2013. After graduating, Pieter studied at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary for a year with a focus on Lay Leadership and Culture-making. As a fellow of the Boston Fellows Program, he worked as a ministry development intern and completed a 26-week Pastoral Counseling course on relational and sexual brokenness. In 2016 Pieter graduated from Lipscomb University in Nashville, TN, with his Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Give today⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to CCLN and help seed a hopeful future for the Church in Canada.

It's not everyday that we have an Archbishop on the podcast... In this conversation, Jason and Archbishop Michael Miller dive into the story of how he ended up in such a prominent position in the Catholic Church, and the insights he's gleaned on church leadership along the way. Archbishop Miller generously shares his experiences overseeing seventy diverse parishes and navigating different challenges, including criticism. He also offers profound insights into the process of nurturing future priests and shared valuable resources on prayer, silence, and solitude from sages within the Catholic tradition. We hope that this episode encourages you in your own journey of following and leading with Jesus.

Whether a pastor should know the giving of his congregation is a hotly debated topic. Though most do not want to know what people give individually, knowing some metrics is vital for at least two crucial reasons. In this episode of Stewardship Leader, we're discussing the why, the who, and the what of giving data and why it matters to your church ministry. Joining us is Ken Schafer, Stewardship Minister at Brentwood Baptist Church in Brentwood, TN, and campaign and generosity consultant with Generis.

The book of Acts clearly shows the radical generosity of the 1st century church. How does it compare with church giving today? We'll explore that today on MoneyWise. Acts 4:32: Now the full number of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one said that any of the things that belonged to him was his own, but they had everything in common. The church advancement team at Generis and the Barna Group did a survey to find out the status of giving today. It's called Revisiting the Tithe Offering, and it revealed a lot about how Christans are supporting the local church. Giving, of course, doesn't involve just money. As the saying goes, Christians should be generous with their time, talent and treasure. But not surprisingly, the vast majority of pastors, 94%, reported that they view member giving primarily through the lens of tithes and offerings, far exceeding other forms of generosity. Obviously, tithes and offerings are vital to the local church,so it's also not surprising that 98% of pastors said their church is primarily funded through individual donations. And the local church should be funded through member giving, rather than investment earnings or an endowment of some type. A church should have an emergency fund, something like a year's worth of operating expenses. But assets beyond that should be used for ministry or missions, in our opinion. GOOD NEWS There's some good news about Christian generosity as compared to Americans as a whole. Studies show that 60% of U.S. adults give to a charitable organization during the course of a year. A full 90% of practicing Christians who do attend church at least monthly and say their faith is important to them give to charity on an annual basis, and that charity includes giving to their local church. What does all this mean? Well, it actually makes perfect sense. In general, Christians are more generous than the population as a whole, as they should be. And believers who feel strongly about their faith and attending church regularly are more generous than those who don't, exactly as you'd expect. Here's a snapshot of US giving among three separate groups: - U.S. adults give an average of $916 a year to charities - Nominal Christians give slightly more, $1,165 a year - And practicing Christians give $3,000 a year more than triple that of the average American adult. WHERE SHOULD YOUR TITHE GO? Now, we occasionally get calls from listeners who want to know if it's okay to give their tithes and offerings to something other than their local church. We believe your tithe should go to your church. It's wonderful to give sacrificially to other ministries, but your first fruits should go where you're fed. So it's encouraging to see that the survey revealed most Christians agree. A full 75% think it's more generous to give to their local congregation. That clearly shows a commitment to the local church with regard to giving. THE NOT SO GOOD NEWS The next finding isn't quite so encouraging. While 55% of believers agree that all church members should financially support their local church, 51% also said there may also be circumstances when it's okay not to. An example of that would be volunteering at the local church. Surprisingly, about 60% of Christians in general (meaning nominal and practicing combined) said that members who are committed to volunteering have less of a financial obligation to support the church. And even more surprising, that percentage held true for practicing Christians. Sixty percent of those who attend regularly and hold strongly to their faith also believe that volunteering can be a substitute for financial giving. In our opinion, that's not right. Don't get us wrong, volunteering is important to the church! But if every member gives time and not a tithe, you soon wouldn't have a church. Volunteering should only be viewed as a substitute for financial giving if you're unable to be a percentage giver to your church. And even then, you should always try to give something as a form of worship. Remember what Jesus said about the widow who gave two small copper coins in Mark 12:43, Truly, I say to you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the offering box. On today's program, Rob also answers listener questions: ● What funding options should you consider for rental home repairs? ● How do you go about buying an I-bond? ● What is the best way to fund the purchase of a home? ● What are your options for purchasing CDs?
