God spoke to Craig about healing for a lame Sikh priest. Then the police came... Jesus said it was for our good that he left the earth (John 16:7). That seems hard to believe. What could be better than sitting down and having a coffee with Jesus?  Jesus is described as the living "word of God" (John 1:14) - that meant everything he said was God's voice as well as everything he did. The early disciples could hear God's voice as they were walking down the streets of Jerusalem, as they were sharing a meal with Jesus over bread and olives, as they were listening to Jesus preach on the temple steps. How could anything be better than that? The answer of course is that Jesus' departure signalled the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. It was better not only because the Holy Spirit would remind us of everything Jesus said and did, he would also speak about things to come - that is, the issues that Jesus didn't cover while he was on earth! It's better because unlike Jesus who was limited to a physical body and the language and customs the first century Jews in the Greco-Roman world, the Holy Spirit speaks to apply those truths to new times, places and cultures! In this episode you'll see the truth of Jesus' words. Our guest, Craig Stephens is an officer of the Salvation Army and has heard God speak in places like India, China, Pakistan and communities in his own hometown. Craig ministers as an evangelist across Australia and beyond and trains others to share the good news. He also works with global missions movement, Impact Nations, and loves to take teams across the world to train them in preaching the gospel and healing the sick.  In this episode, you'll hear about: Craig's God story, growing up in church but then leaving as he didn't feel like he could behave well enough to meet the church's standards. It was a few years later that Craig re-entered the church after a miraculous encounter with the Holy Spirit that changed his heart and gave him boldness to share his faith with others. The Holy Spirit lit a fuse that wouldn't go out! Craig's God-conversation that led him into ministry and in particular, working among the marginalised and broken in Sydney. Craig tells how the Holy Spirit showed him a vision of his middle-class church being mobilised to serve the poor with details about the actual building they could use. Later Craig shares how a visit to the local police and an offer to serve in the most difficult area of the town led them to the exact building! Then they watched as God brought transformation… I could see the people in our church carrying the grace they had in the community… the schoolteachers sitting alongside bedraggled, roughed up kids and coaching them in their schoolwork… the physiotherapists doing therapy in a particular room… the ladies who serve the morning tea hosting the community in a cafe. I couldn't stop seeing it. The incredible God-conversation that led Craig and his team to pray a Sikh priest who had been lame since birth and the God-conversation that subsequently led to a last minute escape from arrest by the Sikh police. A God conversation that led Craig and his team to reach people by the side of the road at the Athens Olympics. Subscribe to God Conversations with Tania Harris and never miss an episode!

For Christians, the central event in history and in universe is the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ 2000 years ago. This killing of God (or deicide) is so mysterious and terrible that it's hard to even approach: what kind of a God would choose to be tortured and murdered by his rebellious creatures? Pastor Brian Zahnd's poetic theology of the Cross (in The Wood between the Worlds) takes a kaleidoscopic approach, which turns this way and that, until that terrible cross reflects the light of God that dazzles with coruscating beauty.

This is an important talk from Steve Stewart, the founder of Impact Nations and spiritual grandfather of the Guelph Vineyard. We'll be distilling this talk into the practices of the Guelph Vineyard for some time to come.

What was Mary Magdalene’s first reaction when she encountered the empty tomb? Why didn’t she recognize Jesus when she first saw his resurrected body? Why did John write this book anyways? Steve addresses these questions and more in this look at the final chapters of John’s gospel.This week’s episode is brought to you by our Journey to the Philippines. On March 10th, our team will travel to Eastern Samar, one of the poorest provinces in the Philippines. This region is routinely hit by devastating typhoons which leads to the spread of water-borne illnesses and a general sense of hopelessness. You could be the one to bring hope. On this Journey, you will see God work in ways that you never imagined. The blind will see, the deaf will hear, and hundreds will respond to the gospel. You will get to see the joy on a mother’s face as you deliver a water filter that may well rescue her child’s life. If you’re a regular listener, you’ve heard me talking about Journeys of Compassion all year long. If you haven’t yet joined Impact Nations on a Journey, I’m left with only one question: what are you waiting for? Trust me, you’ll never be the same again.

Here’s a quick list of highlights from 2018…This year we have provided a lifetime supply of clean water for over 20,000 people. We have led Journeys of Compassion to seven different nations where thousands of people have responded to the gospel and dozens of churches were planted. Nearly one hundred people have received our small business training. Women have been rescued from a life of forced prostitution, while others have been freed from prison or a life on the streets. Most of all, we are thankful for our amazing donors, because without you, none of this wouldn’t have been possible.

Why do we act surprised when we have conflict with the world? What’s the secret to doing the works of God? Why did Jesus have to leave the earth? Steve discusses these questions and more as he looks at John chapter 15 verse 18 through the end of chapter 16.This week’s episode is brought to you by our latest effort to free women from a life of the streets. A couple of weeks ago, Impact Nations brought a team of women to Kenya, where in one night they helped rescue 78 women from a life of forced prostitution. Along with our partner, Mike Brawan, we have already found housing and support for 53 of those women. We need your help to get funding for the remaining 25. For only $100, you can provide two months worth of safe housing, food, counseling, business training, and a small loan to help a woman get her own business started. Will you help us? We’ve started a crowdfunding page at www.impactnations.com/kenya. Imagine the difference $100 could make.

At a cost of only $65, each filter can be shared by as many as five homes. And of course, whenever we install a filter we are also telling people about the Living Water that is Jesus. That is good news to the poor. We couldn’t do this without our amazing donors. If you would like to be one of those donors, visit impactnations.com/cleanwater.
