Kari's Top 5 CliftonStrengths are: Woo, Activator, Communication, Connectedness & Developer In 1998, at her first Cru Winter Conference, Kari stood to her feet as Bill Bright laid out a challenge inviting students to fully surrender their lives to Christ. Though she had no idea what that meant at the time, it launched her toward a life of connecting others to Jesus. Kari spent 15 years with Cru's campus ministry, leading teams in Texas and Oklahoma, but it was her time in Ethiopia that shaped her heart for the world. Gripped by a desire to reach the unreached, she spent five years as a Global Missions Director before joining Jesus Film Project in 2017. (total yrs on staff 24) Kari's love for connecting the body of Christ to kingdom resources along with her experience serving in Global Partnerships, Global Expansion, and Digital Strategies naturally led to her current role as Director of Global Expansion. She brings two decades of experience to her role and a passion for seeing the Great Commission fulfilled. When she isn't on a plane, she enjoys hosting others in her Atlanta home.

Vita Artreche is a Certified Meeting Professional (CMP) that has worked in countless events ranging from conferences, trade shows, weddings, and fundraisers. She is currently the Conference Director for Jesus Film Project where she leads the event team with day to day operations, strategy, and professional development. This was such a fun conversation. For about a decade, I worked in the hospitality/convention industry with an audio visual company so being able to share stories with Vita brought back so many memories (the good, the bad, the stressful and everything in between) I absolutely loved hearing about Vita's wisdom when it comes to setting high quality standards, yet employing empathy and teamwork during the entire event planning process. Her ability in finding collaborative ways to digest creative vision, and execute while being able to effectively set expectations is truly an art. Enjoy this chat!

Then, we delve into allegations against International House of Prayer founder, Mike Bickle, as we examine claims that he used scripture to keep a young woman in a secret, complex relationship. Shifting focus, we investigate a Wisconsin school district accused of ignoring a sexual harassment complaint involving a trans-identifying student, sparking a conversation on how schools handle these complex issues.

Today, we're continuing the conversation that we began last week with Scott Brill, the Chief Financial Officer at Young Life, and Mark Tjernagel, the CFO for Cru. These two seasoned CFOs have given us a behind-the-scenes look at the role of the Chief Financial Officer and a nonprofit organization and how that role is changed over the years. Mark brings a perspective of having worked for Cru his entire adult life and is the longest-serving CFO that Cru has ever had. Scott began his career in the private sector with Target Corporation and joined Young Life a little over five years ago as their CFO. Let's pick up the conversation where we left off last week. [00:00:43] Tommy Thomas: Take me a little bit into getting maybe a little more toward the accounting and finance piece of this, because I know our listeners, I want them to hear about that piece. Tell me a little bit about the size of your teams, and so you both work for two of the largest Parachurch Ministries, at least in the United States, probably in the world. Both of you are international. Tell me about your teams. Scott, what does that look like at Young Life? [00:01:09] Scott Brill: Yeah, so I have the financial services teams plus administrative and legal risk management teams. The financial services team is, 40 to 50 people. And that's really a lot of hourly people focused on income processing, the donation activity, accounts payable, all of our P card activity that's associated with that and is used throughout all of the U.S. and many countries in the world and then, our core accounting teams which are fewer people, but support accounting for all of our consolidated Young Life missions across the world. And we're in 102 countries. Not all of those are consolidated, but we're doing ministry work in 102 different countries. [00:01:57] Mark Tjernagel: So, for me, our structure is a little bit different than Young Life. I have a team of about 75 people based out of Orlando, largely. Doing everything from the typical financial services that you would think of, but also internal audi. Cru is made up of many ministry divisions and many of your listeners have probably heard of the Jesus Film Project or Family Life or the Campus Ministry. Those are all parts of Cru. So, Cru is a lot like an umbrella. With all of these things under it, each of the heads of finance for all of those divisions also reports on my team, so there are about 75 of those people, that I directly give leadership to then indirectly, there's probably another 75 to 100 people that either, you know, in related departments, but they don't report to me or that are out within our divisions. And so they report more indirectly as opposed to directly to me. But it's a pretty good-sized team. We have a lot of great folks working in finance. [00:03:01] Tommy Thomas: How much of the job takes an accounting mind, and how much of it takes a finance mind? And I think I do know the difference between those two functions. [00:03:11] Scott Brill: Yeah, you're talking about our jobs? Yeah, the CFO role. I would say it's predominantly the leadership and more of the financial mind is way more prominent than the accounting. There are a lot of CFOs who've never done accounting, and don't have accounting degrees, right? They have an MBA and an engineering undergrad, right? And I think at that, at this level, you have a good controller who has to firmly understand all of the accounting, but many CFOs don't have that. [00:03:44] Mark Tjernagel: Yeah, I came up through accounting, right? I started in accounting. That was my track to be in the CFO. That's a little heavier in terms of my experience than the finance side, what we would call treasury management, but certainly, once you get to this, the level of CFO, I don't do any journal entries, I'll interact with the partner from the auditing firm that's auditing Cru. Most of my time is not on the technical. It's on the relational side and the leadership side. [00:04:12] Mark Tjernagel: And I have to understand what's happening with accounting, right? It's certainly that. But most of my time is not on the technical. It's on the relational side and the leadership side. But I would say this, I think if I'm trying to really dig deeper into where your question was going there. As a CFO, I do spend more time thinking about things like debt and investments and liquidity, and cash flow. Things like that, which tend to be more the finance side, the treasury function, then I do thinking about strategies for how we're managing the accounting for a film project or something like that. I have people that are really good at that, and they do it, and they report it up to me, but I tend to be involved a little bit more on the liquidity and the treasury side. [00:05:03] Tommy Thomas: Obviously, Scott, you've had a longer tenure in the private sector. So you might draw from that and, Mark, you obviously are from a nonprofit. But to both of you, how has the CFO role changed over the last 20 years? [00:05:19] Mark Tjernagel: I wasn't the CFO, you know in the 80's, so I don't know what it was like back then, but I'll speak for myself, what I'm seeing now, is it requires communication skills and it requires relation, abilities to build relationships. There's so much technical, so many people in the ministry, in the nonprofit setting, that don't understand like the super technical finance things, right? And frankly, don't even care about them. They just want to know can I do it and I do what God's called me to do. And so the ability to translate, to simplify, to take a really complex matter and just to be able to present it in less than 60 seconds, and then to say to a Board, you know to our Board or to leadership, hey, here are the things that we should be concerned about, and being able to say it really simply. Communication skills are vital for the nonprofit CFO. You have to be able to communicate well. [00:06:13] Mark Tjernagel: So, communication skills are just vital for CFOs. Now, maybe it was like that in the eighties, but I know right now that's the life of a CFO and a nonprofit. You have to be able to communicate well. [00:06:37] Scott Brill: Yeah, I agree. And that evolution has, the role has tended to get more strategic and forward-looking. You report on what the results were and you share that with everybody. Make sure everybody knows how they did financially. It's much more about how you are partnering and working with people to change and improve results going forward. +++++++++++++++++++ [00:06:56] Tommy Thomas: In both of your organizations, what does your interface with the board look like? [00:07:02] Mark Tjernagel: For me, I attend all the board meetings. My team does the presenting. We have two financial-related committees, an audit committee, and what we call an investment committee. And so we're putting the materials together, we're doing the presentations, we're framing out the issues we need decisions on for the board. So as the CFO, I personally interact with the chairman of those committees. Make sure they have what they need ahead of time. So, there's a lot of personal interaction with board members. Whenever the board meets, they always have dinner. And members of management are able to go and interact with them in that way. So there's a personal relationship with the board members, but there's also a kind of a real formal role that we play as well in presenting to the board. [00:07:56] Scott Brill: We have a finance committee that basically does the presentations to the finance committee at each of the board meetings and shares that with the entire board during the executive session. And then we have an investment committee. That's a subset of the finance committee and I chair the investment committee. So, we're actively integrated with the board on keeping them up-to-date and involved in our financial performance. [00:08:25] Tommy Thomas: You guys have the privilege of probably working with fairly sophisticated boards. I know some of your board members from each of your organizations. If you were teaching at CLA or somewhere, what kind of counsel are you giving the CFOs on how to interact with their boards, and how to keep them informed? [00:08:47] Mark Tjernagel: One of the most important concepts, and look, I serve on a lot of boards and at Cru, I don't serve on the Cru board. I help our board as a member of management, but then I serve on a lot of other boards. One of the most important concepts to remember for people is that the board has a distinct role and it's not management. Like management has a role. The board has a role. And there's a lot of trouble when the board tries to manage and run the organization or when management tries to or fails to run the organization and basically keeps going to the board to tell them what to do all the time. So keeping those roles separate, I think is really important where you, so for example, one of my previous bosses told me, and it's been a lesson I've always remembered is Don't ask the Board what to do. Present to the Board your proposal of what you'd like to do. If they don't like it, they'll tell you. Don't ask the board what to do, present to the board your proposal of what you'd like to do. If they don't like it, they'll tell you, but don't go to the board and say we've got this issue, we're not sure what to do, what do you guys think? Go to the board and say we've got this issue. Management has worked through a process. We would like to propose this course of action. And we're seeking the Board's approval on management taking this action. And so, it emphasizes that separation between the Board, that's governing these trustees that are governing the organization, and management, which is running the organization. [00:10:17] Scott Brill: One of my first interactions with nonprofit boards, that was the conversation. Is this a governing board or a fundraising board? Never is the conversation, is it a managing board? The Board should be focused on fundraising or governance or some combination of both. And that's the advice I would give them is exactly following up on Mark's. [00:10:39] Scott Brill: Continue to use them for governance purposes and fundraising purposes. [00:10:44] Tommy Thomas: What role does the board have in risk management, if any, and if not, how does your office help mitigate risk? [00:10:56] Scott Brill: I think that's one of their principal duties, right? As a governing board, they are charged with evaluating the risk relative to the nonprofit, focused, in our case, our ministry. And where are risks appropriate to take relative to the value of the ministry? And where do we need to have risk mitigation strategies in place? To mitigate the risk to the broader global ministry. [00:11:23] Mark Tjernagel: Yeah. I totally agree. It's fundamental to the board's role to evaluate what we would call enterprise risk at that level to hold management accountable to that evaluation and provide the information that they need to perform their role in assessing that risk. Risk management reports to me, and they do an assessment of risk and so forth, all of that, but a lot of that ends up being, like the insurance component, how we're transferring risk outside or what we're holding inside and what we're using the captive for and what we're just buying in the regular markets, that's more of the kind of the insurance side, the risk role for the board is broader than the insurance side. It's reputational risk and it's, it's all those things as well. ++++++++++++++++++++++ [00:12:16] Tommy Thomas: Let's go back to your team for a minute. When some people would think about accounting and finance, somehow creativity and innovation might not be in the same sentence. How do you lead your staff in creativity and innovation without getting too far afield from ones and zeros? [00:12:36] Mark Tjernagel: There are things you can be creative in and then things you shouldn't be creative in. Controls how your transactions process and function. There are a lot of aspects of the finance function that are a little more set. But when it comes to things like how are you supporting decision-making? How are you analyzing your data? And Scott talked earlier about the finance function has evolved from reporting history more towards helping to set the path for the future. There's a lot of creativity in how you think about your data. I can't give you the exact example, but I'll give you a general example. Right now, we have a board meeting next week and even now we're finalizing kind of what's the story behind a lot of the data we're looking at with this certain aspect of our donation and our staffing models and what that means and how then might that impact what we do in the future? So, there's creativity in that. It's not, we're not artists or anything like that, but I will say this. It's not just accounting and finance majors working in finance, right? We have a lot of people that don't have those degrees, and one of the degrees that I have found has been super helpful are economics degrees, because economists, that's what they do. They're really looking at data and they're trying to interpret things and say what in essence is really happening. And, that mindset and that thinking is really helpful for us in finance as well. Two words that I never like hearing together are creative and accounting. That's not a place where I like to have people doing too much creativity. [00:14:08] Scott Brill: Two words that I never like hearing together are creative and accounting. That's not a place where I like to have people doing too much creativity. For me, it comes down to asking why. When I joined Young Life five years ago the controller would tell you after the first three months of coming in, he started to come in with, okay, I'm going to start with, here's the why. And that really drives the, wait, I'm thinking about this differently. I'm not sharing you. This is what we do. This is how it's been done in the past; this is the result of that. It's the, okay, why are we doing this? Why are we looking at this? That helps you start thinking okay, like now I can think about how I want that work going forward, which sparks the creativity. Oh, I get to change how this is working. How should it work going forward? [00:15:02] Tommy Thomas: What's the most ambitious project you or your department has taken on and how did it come out? [00:15:13] Scott Brill: I'll go first. We're in the middle of it. I don't know how it's going to come out. But we're implementing Workday to replace Lawson as our general ledger software package. It's going to include human resources and a lot more of the typical enterprise infrastructure. So I did not want to do that. But we didn't have a choice because Lawson is no longer going to be supported. I'm going to foreshadow that it's going to come out great or you're going to die trying one of the two, like those system projects are a bear, like they just are. [00:15:50] Mark Tjernagel: I'll take a little bit different angle and I'll say this. When I took over the leadership of the finance team, I think it's safe to say it was in disarray. We had a very low tenure. We had high turnover rates. There was a lot of pressure that we were understaffed. And so there's a lot of pressure to get stuff done. And it wasn't a very fun place to work. And one of the first things I did was I gathered a small group of leaders and I just said, all right we've got to figure out how to make this a better place to work. Like, how do we change a culture and, it's not going to happen overnight, but what do we do? And we worked a lot together. We didn't get an answer. The answer didn't just come to us in the first meeting. We collaborated and we prayed. We did a lot of activity, put a lot of effort into how we change the culture, and tried out different things that worked, some worked great, some didn't work so great, the theme of what really worked well and undergirded a transformation to which what I would say now is, we do have a great culture now in the finance function. We tried to change towards just really leading with our values. We have the values within Cru of faith, growth, and fruitfulness. My team added a fourth value called community, because we really needed to work on that. And we just, we said, what does that mean? The slogan for the wall, but what does it actually mean? How do we do that? How do we infuse within how we lead the value of faith? What does it mean to have a value of faith, the value of faith if you're in finance and what does growth mean for us as professionals and as missionaries and as, doing our work unto the Lord? And if we really value fruitfulness, how do we do our schedule in our everyday lives? And that was daunting because finance just stunk. Nobody wanted to work there. So I would say that was probably the biggest scary thing that we took on. And thankfully, looking right now, we're always growing and learning and changing, but it's much, much better than it used to be. +++++++++++++++++++++++++ [00:18:05] Tommy Thomas: If I had the privilege of traveling to Orlando and then out to Colorado here in the next couple weeks, and you let me attend one of your staff meetings, and at some point, we ask you to leave the room and you left me alone with your staff, first, what would they say would be the most difficult thing about working for you? [00:18:25] Tommy Thomas: And on the flip side, what do you think they'd say would be the most rewarding aspect of working for you? [00:18:32] Mark Tjernagel: I'll let Scott go first on that one. [00:18:37] Scott Brill: You mean what I want them to say? You're asking what they're going to say. What they tell me they would say is... the hardest thing is I don't let things slide. If I ask them why we're in a meeting today and it's why is this, different here? And they're like, Oh. I'm not sure why. And they're like, Oh, hard to believe we actually ran through this ahead of time together and yeah, we're stuck on this, this why. And so that is what I think they would say is I'm always like finding the little discrepancies or, and I'm always looking for, why does this make sense or why care about this? I think that the thing that I hear that they enjoy the most is that I'm forthright, I tell them exactly what I'm thinking or, what I'm seeing. And so they know where they stand on an initiative or what they're doing, with their team and what I think about it, but I let them do it. One of my better coaching moments was with somebody who worked for me. I was like, you need to stop telling your team what to do. Then you can ask questions about why they're doing something a way, but don't tell them to do it differently. Let them figure out why they should be doing it differently. Otherwise, you're not getting commitment to what you're doing. You're just getting compliance with the methodology you are forcing upon them. [00:20:07] Mark Tjernagel: The hard part of working for me is similar, high expectations, right? And it's not necessarily demanding excellence. There can never be a fault, but just really demanding high expectations and pushing people to do things beyond what they think they can do. I think the thing they might say that they appreciate the most about me is they know I have their back and I will go to bat for them. I will take the blame. On their behalf, I'll try to shield them from a lot of the politics and the things that happen up in the other realm of the organization and defend them a lot. [00:20:51] Tommy Thomas: You guys appear to be on the screen here, probably 10 to 15 years my junior. But I want to ask you a question about supervising generations. So, you may have some boomers on your team, you may have some Gen Xers, you may have some Millennials, and you might even have some Gen Z people. What have you noticed about the difference in the way you, I'll use the word, manage and or lead? [00:21:20] Mark Tjernagel: I wish I was better at this. I don't know that I'm great. I think there are certainly different ways that we interact. I will interact with different generations, not playing favorites with one or the other. Some of our older staff are more experienced and mature staff. There's one gentleman in particular who I remember when I asked him, I challenged him to a different role because I wanted him to have something that was less intense than the work that he had, but that could allow him to work for a longer period. And so just working with him on that. But I think I'd say this across generations. People are still motivated by a few things. And I think one of them is knowing that the work that they're doing is important. And that they are seen and valued and so whether you're a brand-new staff member or an intern. I had we have some interns work in the summer. We took them out to lunch earlier this week, But then I've got people that are in their 70s still, you know working full-time jobs with us and everybody is the same. They want to know that their work matters and that they matter. And so how I can communicate that sometimes you can communicate differently to different generations, but it's that similar message. [00:22:48] Scott Brill: And the generational groupings are helpful when you're doing mass research and really understanding okay, what's changing with the thousands of kids that are showing up at a Young Life camp and what's happening out there? When you're dealing with teams of 50 you should be dealing with them as individuals within your leadership team. And I have somebody who's 26 years old but has a lot more of the characteristics of a boomer. Don't treat them like, oh, you're Generation Z and I need to give you this and treat you this way. You should be tailoring your leadership to the individuals on your team. And I think that's really the focus, from a leadership standpoint, I think the generational consistencies help you with the big broad strokes on, do you have to have more digital community environments available? [00:23:45] Scott Brill: Yes. Will that continue to grow? Yes. But don't put that on everybody just because of their age group. +++++++++++++++++++++++++ [00:23:54] Tommy Thomas: What was the most important lesson you think you learned during the pandemic that you'll take forward? [00:24:02] Scott Brill: We can get work done without having everybody physically in the same office. [00:24:08] Tommy Thomas: And you think y'all will continue that as you move forward? [00:24:13] Scott Brill: Yes, I think we've learned where that can be done just as efficiently, sometimes more efficiently and where it can't. So, I think, going forward, we'll be able to have that better balance of, hey, these things can happen very easily remotely, and these teams can be much more geographically diverse and still be very productive. These functions and these activities require a lot more physical presence to be as. [00:24:45] Mark Tjernagel: I would say I totally agree, and I'll add something that's going to sound contradictory. But I think it's true as well, which is the importance of personal face-to-face interaction, right? We can get so much more work done differently now, and we learned how to do that in a hybrid setting. But man, we also found how important it is that our people get together and have time and opportunities to interact with one another. And not everybody wants it, some people crave it and some people don't, but everybody needs a dose of it. And so finding ways you can balance that is going to be really important going forward. [00:25:27] Scott Brill: I totally agree that's the hardest thing going forward is how you keep that connected, the team environment. So you might be just as productive, but if you don't feel like you're part of a team and you're very connected to people as individuals, that will show up in retention. I agree with you, Mark. It's not contradictory at all. It's what you need to do to make it sustainable. [00:25:56] Tommy Thomas: I've always been a big believer in non-profits working together and ministries working together. And I know you guys have this off-site thing that the different levels of leadership within multiple parachurch ministries do. Tell us about that and, what does the CFO conclave look like? [00:26:18] Mark Tjernagel: Sure. Our predecessors have been meeting for years. Sometimes the organizations will have a COO, sometimes a CFO, that attends. So, I did actually, our COO attended for a long time and I just started attending a few years ago. But yeah, there are several parachurch organizations. We get together usually twice a year and we spent about a couple of days together and honestly, a lot of times, we'll talk about some technical issues, how we're dealing with things, but a lot of times it's just great to get together with a peer from another organization and just be able to because the people that can relate to the challenges and the struggles and the things you're going through. Those times have been really rich and rewarding for me. [00:27:09] Scott Brill: Yeah, it was super helpful for me because coming from a for-profit public corporation world and moving into faith-based ministry, I learned a lot in those first sessions from the different ministries. Here are the challenges, oh, wait, that's the same thing I'm hearing from my team. Where are you already gone through this? And it was super valuable for me as I made that transition. +++++++++++++++++++++= [00:27:37] Tommy Thomas: Let's try to land this airplane here in the next minute or two. I'll ask you some possibly short answer questions, perhaps not. What's the main thing you wish somebody had told you earlier in your career? [00:27:56] Mark Tjernagel: Being in ministry is not easy. [00:28:05] Scott Brill: I wish I had learned earlier that you don't always have to be 100% right or 100% accurate. Maybe it's the engineering math in me that I always wanted to get that final accuracy over the edge. And that caused me some issues in relationships because I was too focused on that. [00:28:33] Tommy Thomas: If you could go back in time and tell a younger version of yourself one thing, what would that be? [00:28:40] Scott Brill: That's easy. Don't do that. Be directionally correct and focus more on the relationship. I think I'd go back to me and just encourage me to hang in there. That it's worth it. In the long run, it's worth it. The struggle, the challenges, it's worth it. [00:28:58] Tommy Thomas: If you could get a do-over, is there anything in your career you would like another shot at? [00:29:02] Mark Tjernagel: All the times I've messed up and how I've led people. [00:29:10] Scott Brill: Yeah, that's a good one. I'll double down on that. [00:29:16] Tommy Thomas: What's one piece of advice that you might have to those listening that are in some sort of CFO track? What kind of counsel are you giving them? And maybe this is a little bit of a longer answer. [00:29:29] Mark Tjernagel: I would say I'll modify the question a little bit. I'll say if somebody is in college, my recommendation or they're new in their career, I'd say learn everything you can about data and analytics software and tools, like Tableau and Power BI and things like that. Like how to think about information and data and how to visualize it and then also learn as much as you can about automation. Robotics is really big in accounting and finance now and it's the wave of the future and so understanding automation early in your career will be really helpful as you grow in your career if you're on a CFO track. I'd go back to what I said earlier, which is to take communications classes and network yourself right because the process of networking into things like the Christian Leadership Alliance or other events like Missio Nexus or places like that is helpful because it helps you learn how to communicate about who you are and how to communicate with other groups of people but any classes or courses on communication is super helpful because it's fundamental to a CFO. [00:30:43] Scott Brill: Organizational behavior relationships. That's what's going to matter the most as you progress further up in your career. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I hope you've enjoyed learning from these two seasoned CFOs. Their insights have inspired me to have conversations with CFOs from additional nonprofit organizations. Future programming also includes conversations with the Chief Communication Officer, the Chief Information Officer, and the Chief Legal Counsel of nonprofit organizations.

We are to respond to the gospel by sharing the Good News that has transformed our lives, evangelizing the light to those lost in darkness. This should not be a dreaded obligation, but rather a precious privilege, as we have been transformed by God's grace, may we love Him enough, and love others enough to share what we've been freely given. ~ SHOW NOTES Scriptures: “...but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect…” (1 Peter 3:15) “Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.” (2 Corinthians 5:20) “...preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching.” (2 Timothy 4:2) “As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.” (2 Timothy 4:5) “And he said to them, ‘Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.

A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” (Matthew 5:14-16) “When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.” (Matthew 9:36) Articles: “9 Marks: Why Should We Evangelize?” https://www.9marks.org/answer/why-should-we-evangelize/ “Desiring God: The Need for Evangelism” https://www.desiringgod.org/messages/the-need-for-evangelism “Ours is an age that is sensitive to human suffering…The suffering we are sensitive to is physical suffering and it will end.

In this episode, Jeff and Bob discuss: Seeking mentors and creating an impact in your tribe. Benefiting the kingdom without the limits of only the church. Finding your place within the ecosystem of the Kingdom.Identifying your spiritual gift (Romans 12). Saying “yes” to the right thing, not just anything. Key Takeaways: Career is what you're paid for, calling is what you're made for. God talks about followers and leaders, He doesn't give a distinction about where you draw your income. You can make a difference in God's kingdom, even if it is not your sole career. We all have gifts, and they are not all perceived to be equally valuable, but they are. God needs all gifts to make His kingdom thrive. Be willing to try different things and see what works best for you in how you can best thrive in building God's kingdom. There is an answer in every one of our lives on how we can turn our pathology in power. "Anything God has given us in His abundance is given to distribute in His name." — Bob Shank About Bob Shank: After 14 years as an entrepreneur in the building industry in Southern California, he found that the time investments he made during that time in the Kingdom were more in keeping with his lifetime focus.

Today, TMP serves Kingdom leaders across America and internationally. Thousands have found their unique leadership contribution to the global Great Commission through TMP's three-year mentoring experience.Bob serves on the boards of three megachurches in three states, as well as several national and international ministry boards including Samaritan's Purse and the Jesus Film Project.Bob and Cheri have been married for 51 years; their clan – two married daughters, six grandchildren – live in the same zip-code in Southern California and are all actively involved in local ministry and global missions.

Brian Helstrom is the Executive Director of Jesus Film Harvest Partners and has been with the ministry since it began in 1997. JFHP was formed when the Jesus Film Project, a ministry of Cru, approached the Church of the Nazarenes, a protestant denomination, about partnering to bring the Jesus Film to new areas around the world. Beginning with 200 sixteen millimeter projectors from Jesus Film in 1997, JFHP has witnessed incredible evolution and innovation in the missions world over the last 25 years. Today, JFHP supports nearly 1000 teams working all over the world to introduce new people groups to Christ and connect them with regional churches to carry on the ongoing work of discipleship and church planting. We have talked to leaders from many incredible ministries on the podcast, including Jesus Film, Faith Comes by Hearing, Wycliffe, Seed Company, and Finishing the Task, and Brian gave us a unique and up close look at how the work of all these ministries are linked together through partnership with boots on the ground. He also shared about some of the cutting edge technology that is changing the missions landscape today and enabling missionaries to reach people that were previously completely unreachable. You won't want to miss this one. QUOTES TO REMEMBER “The unengaged and unreached people groups, especially those who have yet to even hear Jesus name after 2000 years, are in areas where they are unreached for a reason” “In the pandemic, we thought we were going to lose all our teams, but all it did is cause them to grow.” “Because of this technology and because of these partnerships working so close together, everybody's best stuff is helping us to go into places we never thought we'd get to this quickly.” “We're really good at taking everybody's best products, putting them in a backpack, and efficiently going to the next place that needs Jesus.” “Our efficiency of ministry only works because we partner not only with our denomination, but with other kingdom ministries.” “Pioneer donors who help start ministries are willing to bleed and die for this new baby that they've started.” “Most people have more of their wealth in what they own rather than in cash.” “We're leaning into every new piece of technology we can get.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW Jesus Film Harvest Partners The Jesus Film Project, a ministry of Cru Finishing the Task (see our interview with Global Church Planting Strategist, Dan Hitzhusen) Evangecube from E3 Partners Bible Story Cloth from the International Missions Board Faith Comes by Hearing (see our interview with Vice President, Morgan Jackson) Christian Motorcyclist Association – Run for the Son LightStream Device (by Renew World Outreach) Wycliffe Bible Translators (see our interview with CEO, John Chesnut) Seed Company (see our interview with Chairman Emeritus, Todd Peterson) ROI Ministry (see our interview with Founder and Executive Director, Tim Barker) The Joshua Project The Finish Line Community Facebook Group The Finish Line Community LinkedIn Group BIBLE REFERENCES FROM THE SHOW Mark 12:42-44 | A Widow's Offering 42 And a poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which make a penny. 43 And he called his disciples to him and said to them, “Truly, I say to you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the offering box. 44 For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty has put in everything she had, all she had to live on.” WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!

Dean Weaver, EPC Stated Clerk, welcomes Brad Strait, Moderator of the EPC's 41st General Assembly. The two look back on Strait's year as Moderator of the Assembly, and peer into the future as Strait serves the next year as Chairman of the denomination's National Leadership Team. Strait also describes two seminars on persecution at the EPC's Leadership Institute on June 21-22 that he is co-leading with Andrew Brunson, EPC Teaching Elder who was imprisoned in Turkey from 2016-2018. On Tuesday afternoon at the 42nd General Assembly at Ward Church in Northville, Michigan, Brunson will share his experience of being persecuted for his faith and what believers in the western world can expect as hostility toward Jesus and the gospel grows. On Wednesday afternoon, Brunson and Strait will be joined by a panel of Christian leaders who have experienced significant persecution, including EPC Teaching Elder Setan Lee, who escaped the “killing fields” genocide of the Communist Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia in the 1970s, and Erick Schenkel, Executive Director of Cru's “The Jesus Film Project.”
Josh Newell is the Executive Director of the Jesus Film Project. The Jesus Film started in 1979 as a ministry of Cru and is a film based on the gospel of Luke. Within 10 years of its creation the Jesus Film was the most translated and most watched film in the world, now reported to have been translated into over 2000 languages and seen by over 3 billion people in almost every country in the world. Jesus Film is a richly collaborative ministry partnering with a vast assortment of ministries in the bible translation, evangelism, and church planting spaces. Today, 90% of the Jesus Film projects final results come from their church planting partners in the field. Josh joined Jesus Film in 1998 as a film translator and has remained with the organization up to today, where he now serves as Executive Director. Josh has developed a deep and thoughtful perspective of the global missions landscape and the work that remains ahead to reach every person everywhere with the gospel. Listen now to hear all he had to share. QUOTES TO REMEMBER “I find it humbling to be a part of a project that can be a catalyst to see cross-denomination cross-traditions work together in a way that is collaborative and to see spiritual fruit.” “We want to be creating a faithful translation of the Jesus Film that accurately reflects the Word of God in a given people group. And to do that, you need to work with bible translators.” “For us, the mission hasn't changed. It's all about getting the gospel to everyone everywhere.” “If the map of where the church needs to go has remained the same for nearly 2000 years, why hasn't it gone?” “The Spirit of the Lord seems to be moving is such a way to bring about collaboration on a radical level where churches and organizations are throwing everything into the middle of the table and saying ‘We're all in' to reach everyone everywhere. It doesn't matter who goes, let's just make sure that we do!” “We get to be a catalyst for partnership.” “Where is the task and what will it take to get us there?” “About 75% of the 6 billion unreached people live in just 12 countries.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW The Jesus Film Project Watch the Jesus Film Cru (Campus Crusade) Biblica Wycliffe Elijah 21 Joshua Project Finishing the Task (see our interview with Global Church Planting Strategist, Dan Hitzhusen, from FTT) The Finish Line Community Facebook Group The Finish Line Forum WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!

Episode 65—My interview with Mrs. Maureen Hornstein Hello everyone! Thank you for listening to another episode of Childless not by Choice! I appreciate your taking the time to listen in once again. Thank you to my repeat listeners. And if you are listening for the first time, I hope you will come back for another visit! Remember to tell your friends about the show, and feel free to share to your social media followers! I would appreciate that! Mrs. Maureen Hornstein is originally from a small town in Minnesota, USA. At University, she studied Speech-Theater, Music, and Education. Upon graduation, she joined the staff of a faith-based organization, Campus Crusade for Christ International now known as Cru. Maureen and her husband, Hank, have spent most of their careers living in three countries outside of the United States. Currently, Maureen is the Women's Asia Strategy Coordinator for the Jesus Film Project. On that project, she works with various media tools that help women realize that no matter what their family or country may think of them; God their Creator, made them valuable. Was it a conscious decision to work and live outside the United States? In your bio, you say that you help women realize that no matter what women’s families and cultures may tell them, their Creator values them. How exactly do you convey this truth to women? Is this through your Jesus Film Project, or in your daily life’s journey? When did you and your husband realize you would not be having children? Do you both come from large or small families? Was there any pushback from either of your families when they realized you weren’t having children? Did you and your husband have to journey to a place of acceptance? What suggestions would you have for women struggling with childlessness?
