Podcasts about global outreach

This weekend our Global Outreach team welcomes Stephen Jones, one of our ministry partners from London. He is a pastor and counselor, serving West London as a window to the world. In particular, their counseling services open doors to communities that might not otherwise consider the Gospel. On Sunday morning he will present more details about how he and his wife are caring for their community. As many know, counseling is about walking with people through the wilderness of their lives. And often that is precisely how God sends us in his love. Join us as we hear how "God Soothes Us and Sends Us to the Wilderness"

If you are mobilizing in an organization, you know the frustration that can sometimes exist when others unknowingly sabotage your mobilization efforts or at the very least, don't quite see the importance of mobilization. Today, Dave has a frank conversation with John Darnell, CEO of Global Outreach International. John unpacks his philosophy of mobilization, how to balance hitting the recruitment numbers with discipleship, and what he did to increase the mobilization culture at Global Outreach. Here's what Dave asked him: Let's talk about when you became the CEO of Global Outreach and how you had to shift things as a leader to support mobilization. How do you create healthy collaboration between departments? When it comes to the philosophies of mobilization, how do you navigate the tension that sometimes exists between mobilization recruiting and mobilization discipleship? Mobilizers can often feel pressure to hit the numbers and that can demotivate them. How do you encourage your mobilization staff to keep them motivated? You mentioned earlier to me that you have had to “push the board.” Can you explain what you mean by that and what occurred? What are you seeing change in the church and what must we do differently as we mobilize the body of Christ?

We want to give you a glimpse into what God is calling Liquid Church to do in 2025. Be encouraged: What we do today will matter in 100 years and for all of eternity. You can leave a legacy and our work begins today. As a church, we have four areas we want to focus on in 2025. The first is Bible Literacy. The church is prioritizing deepening Bible understanding across all age groups. The second area of focus is on the Next Generation. Liquid Church is investing in Gen Z and Gen Alpha through mentorship, scholarships for high school seniors, and programs tailored for their spiritual growth. This generational focus aims to shape minds with Scripture and equip youth to engage with faith in today's culture. Our third initiative will be Church Expansion. Growth plans include launching Spanish services in key locations, supported by AI-translated sermons. The church is also pursuing permanent locations for its Somerset and Middlesex County Campuses. And, our fourth initiative is Global Outreach, specifically the Clean Water Cause. New efforts will focus on large-scale water projects and building churches in the Dominican Republic, providing both physical and spiritual resources to underserved communities. Watch this message from Pastor Tim Lucas and consider how you can help leave a legacy for generations to come.

J.D. Bridges, Vice President of Global Outreach for , tells us this week about Ligonier's efforts to produce content and teaching materials to defend and teach the holiness of God—not only to American Christians but to Christians around the world, including persecuted Christians in hostile areas and restricted nations. Since 1971, when R.C. Sproul founded the ministry in the Ligonier Valley of western Pennsylvania, Ligonier has continued to produce more and more Biblical content. As people from other nations discovered the work and requested resources in their own languages, Ligonier's international efforts have grown. Creating a strategy for translation and dubbing, Bridges and his team are focusing on the top twenty languages around the world—which creates the potential to access 80% of the world's population with gospel materials and theology training. God has opened doors to provide resources in Chinese, Urdu, Hindi, Indonesian, Farsi and many other languages. Out of 5,000,000 pastors around the world, only 5-10% have any theological education. Listen as J.D. shares his heart to create more opportunities for more people to freely engage with Biblical content and how Ligonier works to equip pastors and churches. “For us the first impulse is to equip the pastor…because we know that the church will benefit,” he says. Bridges tells of the difficulties in translating theological concepts into a new language for the first time and the most important thing he gets to do as he builds relationships with persecuted Christians and how Ligonier uses many different and creative angles to provide these tools to Christians in places like China, Iran, Pakistan and other restricted nations. Pray for God's blessings on continued translation work and distribution efforts. Also, check out the from Ligonier for thoughtful reflections on the Christian life and our relationship with God.

The Bible is foundational to everything that disciples of Jesus believe, but is that foundation solid? How can we know? Hasn't it been translated countless times and changed over the centuries? We'll discuss at least five reasons we can trust the Bible and confidently build our lives on the truth God has revealed about Himself.

The message of the Bible is the message of God's love for the world. Today, as we study John 4, we'll see God's love for the world as Jesus brings the Gospel to the people of Samaria.

The Venus Project was started in the 1980s by Jacques Fresco and Roxanne Meadows with the aim of showing that it was possible to lead a more human centered existence… as long as you built outside of the capitalist market system. Over the decades, the fortunes of the project have fluctuated - from an initial burst of enthusiasm and action (Meadows and Fresco built almost all the structures on the property by hand themselves) to the grinding reality of what it means to grow a stable and vibrant community, to the immense surge of popularity just as Fresco's life came to an end. Project members Roxanne Meadows and Nate Dwindiddie come by the show with previous guest Simon Michaux to talk about the failures and successes of the project, and what it might look like when its reborn as the framework for Michaux's Prometheus Project.

Dr Denise Gemmellaro is a forensic entomologist, and my guest today.   We discuss how she initially pursued medical school but found it was not for her.   She found forensic entomology to be a complete and engaging field that allowed her to work on real cases and teach. Dr. Gemmellaro emphasized the importance of students realizing they can change their career path and explore different avenues. Forensic entomology involves the study of insects and arthropods in medico-legal investigations, providing valuable information on the circumstances of death and post-mortem events. In entomotoxicology, substances found in maggots can indicate what was present in the body prior to death, aiding in toxicology analysis. Dr. Gemmellaro has conducted training for law enforcement in forensic entomology, emphasizing the importance of proper evidence collection and handling. She has also been involved in international projects in Africa and Central America to introduce forensic science and inspire local professionals in the field. Dr. Gemmellaro encourages those interested in forensic entomology to explore entomology programs and resources, as well as consider related fields like law enforcement or lab technician roles.   Links for this episode: Health Podcast Network  LabVine Learning Dress A Med scrubs Digital Pathology Club   Dr Denise Gemmellaro email American Board of Forensic Entomology The ESA (Entomological Society of America) ESA pages listing the entomology programs in the US: here and here   People of Pathology Podcast: Twitter Instagram

In the seventh episode of Season 8 of the Meet the Mancunian Podcast, host Deepa Thomas-Sutcliffe talks with Mark Sproston, Founder of Project 23. Mark shares his personal journey, dealing with the mental health crisis following his brother's suicide, and the formation of Project 23, an award-winning, self-funding mental health group aimed at preventing suicides and providing support. They discuss the impact of physical fitness on mental health, the challenges of mental health services, and Mark's commitment to creating a safe space for people in distress. Listeners learn about the importance of openness, commitment, and community in tackling mental health issues. The episode concludes with poignant anecdotes, reflecting the significance of genuine support and advocacy.   In Mark's own words, “Project 23 is an award winning, self-funding mental health group. I founded the group, obviously, because I wanted to try and stop suicide. And that's impossible. But, I didn't realise at the time how big of a problem it was.  It's horrendous, why somebody wants to do that.”   #MentalHealth #Fitness #GM #manchester #community #SocialImpact #NonProfit   Did you know:   ·     Endorphins are the brain's natural pain reliever ·     Endorphins can also release stress and create a feeling of well-being. ·     High levels of endorphins can boost your emotional and overall well-being. ·     Lower levels could mean you're more likely to experience mental health conditions like anxiety and depression, as well as increased pain levels and certain inflammatory diseases.   Key resource: Project 23     Time stamps of key moments in the podcast episode & transcript: (01:34) Introduction to the Podcast (02:05) Discovering Manchester and Its Culture (03:21) Mark's Journey into Mental Health Advocacy (14:07) Challenges and Triumphs of Project 23 (21:34) Commitment to Free Services (21:49) The Impact of the Gymnasium (22:43) Addressing Myths and Misconceptions (25:52) Advice for Starting a Community Movement (27:15) Global Outreach and Support (27:25) Personal Motivation and Commitment (29:02) Upcoming Events and Community Engagement (35:11) Heartwarming Stories and Impact (36:52) Suicide Prevention and Community Support (37:56) Final Thoughts and Gratitude   Listen to the episode and read the transcript on www.meetthemancunian.co.uk

A panel discussion with Element 3 Mission leaders discussing the past, present, and future of E3's global outreach ministries.

A Man With a PurposeAfter leading students at Cedarville University to worship the Lord for 40+ years, Jim Cato has retired. Celebrate his story on this episode of the Cedarville Stories Podcast.Jim Cato quickly learned as a young man that his skills were better used off the field than playing football. So he tried Bible college, which didn't work out either, and he eventually dropped out.But after getting married, he and his new wife learned about this small school called Cedarville College in Ohio. They packed up their belongings and moved to Ohio, before even applying or knowing where they were going to live.Jim went on to earn a bachelor's degree in music, still without any clue of what he wanted to do with his life — or how he would use a degree in music. But the Lord began opening doors, including the opportunity to lead a music team on a missions trip to Australia.Shortly after, a position became available in Cedarville's Christian Ministries department. The position was focused on training music teams to travel and minister overseas. Even with Jim's limited experience, he got the job — and he's never left!Jim has faithfully served with Christian Ministries for over 40 years, including taking various trips with Global Outreach, including one providing hurricane relief after Hurricane Harvey.And, instead of solely ministering to the residents in Houston who were affected by the hurricane, in the end, Jim was the one who needed care.After a few days of working in homes with Cedarville students, Jim began to experience headaches. But these were not his typical headaches, as the pain increased each  day.Eventually, the pain led Jim to wake up his roommate in the middle of the night and ask to be taken to an emergency room. And the trip to the hospital proved challenging, as neither the driver nor Jim knew Houston well enough to navigate the trip.After being rushed to the hospital, and doctors performing a battery of tests, Jim learned that he had a brain tumor that needed to be removed immediately.As Jim outlines, not only did he find a hospital to care for him, he went to the hospital best known in Houston for brain surgeries. Only God could direct Jim's path this perfectly.After several days in the hospital, Jim returned to Ohio, and the Lord used that time to strengthen his faith and reinforce his purpose — to worship God and teach others to worship Him.https://share.transistor.fm/s/1646140c

As I sat down with Peter Drummond from the Light a Candle Foundation, his tales of transformative missions resonated with my own longing for purposeful impact. Together, we explored the power of faith in action, journeying from the war-torn vistas of northern Iraq to the secluded villages of India. Peter's inspiring accounts of music, business acumen, and a burning desire to spread hope are a testament to the monumental shifts that can occur when vision aligns with divine calling. Our conversation ventured to the heart of human connection, where simple acts of sharing a meal in the Middle East or reaching out to forgotten communities in India become beacons of transformation. The stories shared are not just of aid delivered, but of bonds forged, cultures respected, and spirits uplifted. Listeners will find themselves in awe of the logistical marathons undertaken by Light a Candle's teams, and the potent role of local pastors in nurturing both immediate relief and sustained spiritual growth. Closing the episode, Peter and I beckoned our listeners to contemplate their role in this expansive narrative. Whether it's hearing the moving tales of rescued children, marveling at the power of prayer over the elements, or feeling the call to act—this episode serves as an invitation. It's a call to extend a hand, to foster change from afar, or to join the front lines of a mission that is as boundless in its reach as it is in its capacity for hope. Join us, and be part of a story where faith meets the world in profound and life-altering ways.

In this episode of Transformative Principal, Jethro Jones engages in a profound discussion with Sean Slade, co-head of North America at BTS Spark, about reevaluating traditional perceptions of leadership, particularly around the management of emotions. Sean challenges the archetype of the stoic, emotionless leader, suggesting that vulnerability, emotion, and personal connection are crucial elements for effective leadership, especially highlighted by observations from the first year of the pandemic. The conversation delves into how leaders who embraced their humanity, admitting uncertainty and fostering relationships, tended to succeed more. Drawing on a study and the insights from the book Embracing MESSY Leadership, Sean emphasizes the critical role of emotions in building trust, cultivating teamwork, and enhancing problem-solving capacities. He argues for a shift from controlling to exercising and utilizing emotions as strategic tools in leadership. The podcast also touches on the practical aspects of having difficult conversations and the importance of authenticity, emotional intelligence, and self-awareness in leadership roles. Sean concludes by underscoring the evolving understanding of leadership as beyond a series of tasks, advocating for emotional adeptness as a key leadership skill.Maybe the emotionless leader is not quite correct. MESSY Leadership came out of the pandemicThe leaders who were able to make personal connections, build relationships and show vulnerability did quite well. Exercise your emotion rather than controlling your emotions.Admit uncertaintyPose questions back to teamHigh level of self-awareness and self-confidenceEveryone wants to feel like they matter and they want to belong. You are part of this community. Don't we want to be authentic ourselves?Get communication cards.Leadership as a series of tasks and duties. Making people feel happy on a surface level. What's putting you in the box? And how do you get out of it? Leadership is not a series of checklists. Links:Sean Slade's website: https://www.seanslade.com/ MESSY LeadershipJethro's Communication Cards: https://www.jethrojones.com/communication-cards About Sean SladeSean is the Co-Head of North America at BTS Spark.

Head coach Pat Estepp shares the behind-the-scenes logistics, emphasizing the collaboration with the Global Outreach team and John Farwell, the leader of the trip from Athletes in Action. The team's itinerary reads like a biblical adventure, exploring landmarks including the Wilderness of Zin, the Dead Sea Scrolls, En Gedi, Mt. Arbel, the Sea of Galilee, and Jerusalem. In this podcast, coach Estepp expresses his desire for the Bible to come alive for his coaches and players, turning a believer's bucket list into a spiritual revival.  Listen as Pat Estepp and Jacob Drees, a powerful 6-7 forward on the Yellow Jackets' team, reflect on pivotal moments, including the profound impact of individual prayers in the Garden of Gethsemane and the heartwarming connection with the family of their Muslim bus driver over a traditional Palestinian dinner.  As you listen to this inspiring program, you'll discover how this transformative journey brought the Bible to life, leaving an indelible mark on both players and the communities they encountered. https://share.transistor.fm/s/7727910f
