John is dying of cancer but still full of God! He left his successful career as a barrister to give 45+ years to gospel work, developing the Alpha course, launching HTB's first church plant, and much more. I love hearing an old saint, broken in body but not in spirit, still all in and finishing strong.Contact John at johndirvine[@]me.com ---Join us for Inspired Live with Gladiator Warren Furman: greatlakesoutreach.org/inspired-live Pre-order the Inspired Book nowSupport our work in Burundi: greatlakesoutreach.org/inspired ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠---Weekly episode WhatsApp link: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠greatlakesoutreach.org/whatsappWeekly email notification: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠greatlakesoutreach.org/inspiredemail⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠For more from Simon, visit: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠simonguillebaud.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠---Produced by Great Lakes Outreach - Transforming Burundi & Beyond: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠greatlakesoutreach.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

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. He is the author of the free Bible reading app Bible in One Year. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Give⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ today⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to CCLN and help seed a hopeful future for the Church in Canada.

Series: A living Hope in a dying worldTitle: How to lead your family & your church wellScripture: 1 Peter 5:1-14 NIVBottom Line: We lead our family and church family like Jesus told us to: teaching them to obey all he's commanded us.1. SERMON OUTLINE2. NOTES3. OUTLINES4. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS5. MAIN REFERENCES USEDSERMON OUTLINEIntroductionMy dream last night was like no dream I've ever had. It was clear, not overly weird, and it repeated. And it had a clear point.And I actually remember it.I was at my old church after being gone awhile. We were coming out of the Sunday worship service and old friends were greeting me after being gone a long time. Some invited me to share a word with their Sunday school class. I was thrilled to do that. But I had to come up with something to say. But then I found myself wandering around the campus trying to find that Sunday school class. I spent 55 of the 60 minutes looking for this class. When I finally found it I realized it was right where I started when they asked me to come in and share. I'd been right where I was supposed to be in the first place.I also knew what I was to share in the brief time I had with them. It would be Matthew 28:19-20, especially this part… “Teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you”And then as I was driving in this morning praying about what to do with this dream, I felt led to share this and then I felt like God shared another thought. That just like I wandered all over that church campus looking for the class room, Israel had wandered in the wilderness for 40 years. Why? Because they didn't believe God's words about taking the promise land and so they disobeyed the commands of God. This led me to wonder if we aren't doing the same thing today. Are we leading (shepherding) our families and church family to obey the commands of Christ?This goes with the questions we're wrestling with in 1 Peter 5 today.What is an elder in the Bible?ShepherdPastorBishopOverseerElderThe New Testament uses this interchangeably. Duties include: lead, feed and protect the flock. I (Darien) am speaking as a current elder in our church.I am speaking to our current elders.I am speaking to our future elders.I am speaking to our church members who are responsible for choosing our elders and holding them accountable to lead according to God's word.I am speaking to every person who is or wishes to be a leader in the church—we're all called to lead like our chief shepherd Jesus Christ.I am also speaking as a husband to Anita and father to our four daughters (who are grown and out of the house now)I am speaking to parents and future parents.I am speaking to kids.I am speaking to every church member.This is important because so much rises and falls on leadership. And God has defined leadership for the church is it's broadest terms as shepherds. OUTLINE (Based on E Clowney's outline)1. How do lead your family and church family well? 5:1-11 1. How do pastors/elders do this? 1. Remember who Peter is (1) 1. Apostle 2. Elder/pastor 3. Witness 1. To Christ's sufferings 2. To Christ's glory 2. Remember who I am (1) 1. Fellow apostle (little ‘a') in that I am also sent by Christ 2. Fellow elder/pastor/undershepherd to Christ 3. Fellow witness to all Christ has done in and through me including how we suffering together 3. Shepherd/pastor/oversee Christ's flock under your care (2-4). How? By leading, feeding and protecting them like this: 1. “Watching over them” (overseer) like a general inspecting his troops or better a shepherd caring for his flock; not just looking for flaws but knowing the history, personality, & unique challenges of each individual sheep (2) 1. Not because you must—duty (2) 2. But because you are willing, as God wants you to be—delight (2) 3. Not pursuing dishonest gain (money, position, reputation) (2) 4. eager to serve (not lording it over those “entrusted” to you; remember how we defined that word last week (like the person you entrust your life savings to while gone on vacation when there are no banks like in the first century) (3) 2. By being examples (of Christ) to the flock (3) 3. In a manner worthy of the reward that awaits (4) 2. How does everyone else do this? (5-11) 1. In mutual service to one another (5) 1. Why? 2. Because God opposes the proud but gives favor to the humble. (Cf. Prov 3:34; James 4:6) 2. In humble service to God and each other (5c-7) 1. “Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand.” God is able! 2. “Cast all your anxiety on him for he cares for you.” God cares! 3. In triumphant suffering (8-11) 1. The Christian resistance movement (8-9) 1. “Be alert and of sober mind.” Pay attention to the world around you. 2. The Devil is roaring looking to devour. 1. Christians in that day would know about lions in the colosseum in Rome. Lions devouring enemies of Rome for entertainment. 2. Words from elder/pastor Ignatius (AD 108-140) anticipating his death in the Roman Colosseum: “Let me be given to the wild beasts, for through them I can attain unto God. I am God's wheat, and I am ground by the teeth of wild beasts that I may be found pure bread...Come fire and cross and grapplings with wild beasts, wrenching of bones, hacking of limbs, crushings of my whole body, come cruel tortures of the devil to assail me. Only be it mine to attain unto Jesus Christ.” Clowney, p. 172-3 2. The assurance of God's saving purpose (10-11) 1. There is God's glory and life awaiting us at the end of the narrow way 2. There is suffering for us between here and there along the narrow way that leads to life2. Final Greeting (12-14) 1. Silas: Messenger or editor? (12) Messenger and amanuensis (took dictation) 2. Peter's purpose in writing (12) 1. To encourage them 2. To remind them of the true grace of God 3. Greetings from whom? (13) 1. The local church (network of house churches) 2. In Rome (Babylon is symbolic) 4. Peace to whom? (14) Those “in Christ”ConclusionBottom Line: We lead our family and church family like Jesus told us to: teaching them to obey all he's commanded us.Are we shepherding our families to obey the commands of Christ?Are we shepherding our church family to obey the commands of Christ?Other stories/examplesDaniel is a great example of a disciple of Jesus Christ as described by Peter in 1 Peter. He is a literal exile living in a kingdom hostile to his beliefs. He stays faithful over and over even when it costs him.He is thrown into the lion's den when he defies the King's edict and prays to God instead of to the king per the new law. He is maliciously setup to bring his downfall. This seemingly happens when he is thrown into the lion's den until the next morning when we learn that God shut the lion's mouths and he was fine. We will be persecuted for following Jesus Christ.We will be slandered and misunderstood too.We will become targets of hate for our beliefs.God is faithful. He will not abandon us.He calls us to bless them.He will bless us.In successive weeks at [HTB](https://www.htb.org/), I (Nicky Gumbel) interviewed two people of courage and faith. One, Ben Freeth, inspired by his faith in Jesus Christ, had taken a courageous stance against the unjust regime in Zimbabwe. As a result, he was beaten, tortured and forced to watch his elderly mother-in-law and father-in-law undergo torture, from which the latter eventually died. Yet in the midst of his suffering, he chose to love and bless the torturers. The second was a pastor from one of the sixty countries around the world where physical persecution of Christians still takes place. He had been imprisoned and, at one stage, sentenced to death for no other reason than his faith in Jesus Christ. Yet in the face of extreme suffering he refused to deny his faith. PrayQ. What do I want them to know?A. How to lead their family and church well.Q. Why do I want them to know it?A. Because this is God's plan for parenting the family and the family of God.Q. What do I want them to do about it?A. 1. Elders, lead the church like Jesus Christ led his disciples. 2. People, lead one another like Jesus Christ led his disciples.Q. Why do I want them to do it?A. This leads to healthy, reproducing families of faith that impact our broken world for good.Q. How can they begin to do this?A. 1. At home, for those under our roof, we lead, feed and protect the flock through the teaching and applying God's word to our lives and each other. 2. At church, for those in our local fellowship, we lead, feed and protect the flock by choosing qualified men to lead like Jesus Christ.NOTES“Suffering Christians who look to the Lord also gain comfort by remembering the family of believers (2:17). Samuel Bénétreau points out four advantages to be gained from knowing that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings (9). First, there is encouragement in knowing that you are not alone and isolated, suffering in a unique way. Second, you are reminded that the bond that unites you to Jesus Christ also joins you to the family of God throughout the world. Suffering Christians have a caring fellowship with those similarly afflicted. Third, Christians are reminded that suffering is inherent in the Christian faith. Through suffering they have fellowship with Christ and their faith is purified. Peter speaks of the suffering that must be 'accomplished' or 'brought to its end' by the 'family of believers'. Suffering has its place in God's plan for a world destined for justice, peace and glory.Christians know that the 'family of believers' does not suffer in vain; their experience of suffering is being brought to the victorious conclusion that God has designed. Fourth, knowing of these sufferings stimulates hope.The spread of persecution and trials points to the nearness of the consummation: the promised land is in view.50” -Clowney, p. 176“In southern France, overlooking the Mediterranean, stands the Tower of Constance. There, in the eighteenth century, Huguenot women were imprisoned for decades because they refused to surrender their Reformed faith. In the tower room where they were held captive, a stone coping surrounds a round opening in the floor. Inscribed in the stone is the word'Résistez! Marie Durand entered that room in 1729, when she was fifteen years old. Three years later her brother Pierre was hanged at Montpellier.In 1745 she was offered her freedom if she would agree to renounce Protestant worship. She refused all such offers and remained captive for thirty-eight years, resisting the temptations to despair, to suicide, to betrayal. From her imprisonment she began a ministry of encouragement by correspondence. Some of her letters are kept today in the Museum of the Wilderness in the mountains of the Cévennes.” Clowney, p. 1751 Peter 5:10 (ESV): 10 And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.1. Complete/restore2. Establish - strengthen and protect3. Strengthen 4. Place on firm foundation -Clowney, p. 178Elders in the New Testament are tasked with several key duties, including:1. **Spiritual Oversight:** Providing spiritual guidance and leadership to the church community.2. **Teaching and Doctrine:** Instructing and ensuring adherence to sound biblical doctrine.3. **Shepherding the Flock:** Caring for the well-being of the congregation, like a shepherd caring for a flock.4. **Modeling Character:** Demonstrating a godly and mature character for others to follow.5. **Prayer:** Engaging in prayer for the church and its members.6. **Protecting from False Teaching:** Guarding the congregation against false doctrines or teachings.These duties are often outlined in passages like 1 Timothy 3:1-7 and Titus 1:5-9 in the New Testament.I.

As Gentiles they once lived in ignorance (they did not know the ways of God). But they are now a holy nation, part of God's own people, and are called to a new way of life.2: Peter then explains how this way of life will impress those who might accuse and persecute them without just cause.3: Peter acknowledges that his readers are suffering for their faith, but he explains that this is only to be expected. The Messiah himself suffered, and believers all over the world are facing the same challenge. The followers of Jesus are waiting for the day God will visit them, and even in their suffering they can show they belong to God.The Holy Bible, New International Version® NIV®Copyright © 1973, 1978, 1984, 2011 by Biblica, Inc.®Used by Permission of Biblica, Inc.® All rights reserved worldwide.P Schreiner Commentary“Their ultimate enemy, that roaring lion, stands ready to devour them, but they have the conquering, suffering Shepherd at their side.” - P Schreiner 0.

Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat (let's call it “HTB” so as not to get too long in the tooth) is a hardy plant that has been farmed in Asia for generations but is largely unknown in the rest of the world. Modern analyses have revealed that HTB contains significantly higher levels of phytonutrients compared to common buckwheat—up to a 100-fold increase of certain immune-strengthening flavonoids. It also contains other nutrients that help build, maintain, and protect muscles and lean tissues throughout the body, improve how it deals with certain toxins, produce cellular energy, and more. Yes, that's all from one tiny humble buckwheat plant. Thanks to those health benefits, HTB is a go-to ingredient of mine in the kitchen, and I feature it in several recipes in my Boundless Cookbook. The mastermind behind HTB is Dr. Jeffrey Bland, Ph.D., a Clinical Biochemist known as the “Father of Functional Medicine.”An immunity expert, the founder of the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM), best-selling author, thought leader, and educator, Dr. Bland is also the president of Big Bold Health, the company that produces HTB. Big Bold Health's mission is to engage people worldwide to actively participate in reshaping the conversation about immunity, resilience, and the interconnectedness of plants, people, and the planet. Dr. Bland is advocating for the power of immuno-rejuvenation to enhance immunity at a global level.

Nicky and Pippa Gumbel are among the most influential leaders of the church today, on a global scale. They have a unique vantage point on the state of the world, and the challenges facing our generation as believers. At the same time, they are humble and unassuming, so approachable and genuinely kind, that they would love to share a cup of tea with you if they met you. This rare balance is deeply attractive, and the fruit of a lifetime of dependence on the Holy Spirit. Stephanie and her husband Jonah have the deepest respect for them, and find themselves blessed to get to learn from them. When they lived in the UK with their pre-teen kids, they attended the church where the Gumbels were pastoring, Holy Trinity Brompton in South Kensington, London. One of the fastest growing churches in the UK, HTB is a multi-site church that the Gumbels only recently retired from. Stephanie welcomes them on the show today, and she is ready with a lot of questions! They talk about the state of the universal church of Christ today in the world, from their perspective –  including a word of encouragement for the new generation and the red flags they are noticing in the culture. They share where they think the power of influence is shifting, and how we can depend on Christ to guide us in the challenges ahead. Their passion for defining the line between Scripture and culture leads to some great advice on what it looks like for our generation. Nicky shares one thing he regrets, and Pippa shares about the power of revival and trusting God's sovereignty through life. Having been married 45 years, Pippa and Nicky share wisdom and insights into the makings of a marriage that holds the distance to the glory of God. Their dependence on the Holy Spirit is palpable, and deeply attractive. They tell us about the Alpha Course, the global phenomenon that invites spiritual seekers to embrace faith through conversations and personal connections. If you do not know the Alpha Course, Stephanie warmly invites you to discover it and to try it out. In this Easter season, it is the perfect time to invite your seeking friends to attend. Join them for a life-changing experience of faith! Pippa and Nicky share with us how they are running their race with perseverance, through the hardships and the good times, and pray for us at the end of our time together. You WANT to receive this prayer for yourself, so make sure to tune in!
