Nonprofit mergers and partnerships aren't just survival tactics—they're strategic opportunities to multiply impact and secure long-term sustainability. This compelling conversation with Jennifer Riha, Chief Strategy Officer, and Trent Stechschulte, Chief Legal Officer at Boundless, unveils how strategic growth has transformed their organization's ability to fulfill its mission of realizing the boundless potential of all people.Today's health and human services organizations face a perfect storm: skyrocketing demand for services while resources and qualified staff become increasingly scarce. Against this backdrop, Boundless has pioneered a proactive approach to partnerships that challenges traditional nonprofit thinking. As Trent memorably states, "not-for-profit is a tax status with the IRS—not a business plan."Jennifer shares how strategic mergers have expanded Boundless from serving specific populations in limited areas to reaching over 6,000 individuals annually across Ohio. Their sophisticated partnership toolkit—including scoring systems for potential partners and comprehensive integration planning—ensures these unions truly amplify impact rather than simply combining assets. The results speak volumes: when Koinonia joined Boundless in 2023, staff immediately received higher wages and better benefits, while clients gained access to specialized services previously unavailable in their region.Perhaps most compelling is how these partnerships create the financial leverage needed for innovation. With nonprofit margins typically under 5%, organic growth alone can't generate sufficient resources for technological advancement or program expansion. Strategic partnerships create the scale necessary to invest in the future.    Curious how your organization might benefit from strategic partnerships? Listen now to discover practical insights on building a more sustainable, impactful future for your nonprofit mission.

¿Qué hombre es este? La frase "Ecce homo" nos muestra que no hay otra persona en la Historia como Jesús. Su juicio acaba con la reiterada declaración de Pilato por la que no le encuentra culpable de lo que le acusan. En los versículos 1-15 del capítulo 19 del Evangelio según Juan, es enviado a Herodes para resolver el problema, Pilato intenta que sea liberado en vez de Barrabás y es golpeado, quizás para provocar la compasión de la masa y sus dirigentes, pero es finalmente crucificado en los versículos 16-30. Nuestra sintonía está hoy a cargo de la pareja de un guitarrista y productor nacido en Alemania, Carl Carlton, que junto a la actriz germana Melanie Wiegmann, se dedica a la Americana con clásicos del repertorio popular como Ruta 66, El cantautor Don Francisco es el hijo de un profesor de seminario en Louisville (Kentucky), que se dedicó a la música secular hasta su conversión en los años 70. Él es muy conocido por una canción sobre la Resurrección, pero tiene también una impresionante tema sobre la Cruz llamado "Un precio demasiado pequeño" (Too Small A Price 1979). Sandi Patty es tal vez la más tradicional de las cantantes cristianas con su voz de soprano hasta los años 90. El escándalo de las circunstancias de su divorcio en 1992 le ha hecho perder popularidad, pero continua en activo a los 68 años. Su canción más conocida es un tema sobre la Cruz (Vía Dolorosa 1984), que grabó también en precario castellano en 1998. Sobre el perdón que ofrece la muerte de Jesús trata también la canción de un grupo cristiano que en 1982 imitaba las voces suecas de Abba con un cantante de origen búlgaro llamado Georgian Banov, Convertido al cristianismo con el movimiento "hippie" de la Gente de Jesús en el sur de California en 1974, forma con dos americanas el grupo Silverwind. Hay un clásico del cine británico de los 60 titulado "Cuando el viento silba". Es la primera película que dirigió Bryan Forbes en 1961 con el apoyo de Richard Attenborough. En un fascinante blanco y negro cuenta la sorprendente historia de unos niños que creen encontrar a Jesús en un granero del norte de Inglaterra. Basado en el libro de la madre de la niña protagonista, Hailey Mills, es un relato nada infantil sobre cómo reconocer al Jesús del que hablan en el Ejercito de Salvación y la Escuela Dominical. Escuchamos algunos diálogos de la versión doblada al castellano, que comenta José de Segovia con la música de Sir Malcolm Arnold. Las últimas palabras de Jesús son una sola en griego, (Tetelastai),, que declara que ha acabado su obra. La expresión del texto original da título a una canción de Paul Clark, un veterano músico de la Gente de Jesús que graba su primer disco de "Canciones del Salvador" en 1971. En los años 80 trabaja con los artistas cristianos de jazz más conocidos por el grupo Koinonia y en 2009 graba esta canción. Mastedon es el grupo que formaron en los años 80 los hermanos Elefante, conocidos por su fe cristiana con Kerry Livgren en el grupo de "rock progresivo" Kansas. Su canción de 1990, "Está hecho" (It Is Done) considera la obra terminada de Cristo en la Cruz, como la del grupo Petra (It Is Finished 1984), otra de las bandas pioneras del "rock cristiano" desde 1972.

There is only one perfect Father, and that is God Himself, the Everlasting Father. But because God is our perfect Father figure, human fatherhood should seek to reflect the fatherhood of God as best as they can. Biblical, Spirit-filled fatherhood is an “endangered species” in our society. But one of the most vital ingredients to a strong family, church and society is the need for biblical, Spirit-filled fathers. Biblical, Spirit-filled fatherhood is regarded as archaic and irrelevant in “today's culture” (whatever that means!). Sadly, even within the church, biblical, Spirit-filled fatherhood has been replaced by extremes of legalistic authoritarianism or flat out, no involvement and absenteeism leaving wives and mothers to “fulfill” a role that God never intended them to fulfill. Today's message is a call for the fathers and grandfathers of Koinonia to step up and accept our God given roles of fatherhood, in spite of how we feel or what society says. Men, our families need us to be Spirit filled men of God. Listen to this griping story: In 2003, Hurricane Isabel slammed into the East Coast of the United States, leaving 16 dead and cutting power to six million homes. The edges of the hurricane passed through Washington, D.C., prompting the president and members of Congress to find safer quarters. That was not the case at Arlington National Cemetery, where guards stood vigil at the Tomb of the Unknowns at the time, just as they had done every hour of every day since July 1, 1937. When the hurricane hit, the soldiers remained at their posts even though they were given permission to seek shelter. That's what a soldier does. He acknowledges the storm, but he doesn't give in to it. He stands firm. Biblical manhood and fatherhood is under attack by today's society and the liberal church.Like these soldiers, Christian men, young or old, are called to stand and do our duty while staring down the very storms of a God forsaken culture that is pressuring us to neglect abandon our biblical posts as heads of our families. When men abandon this pursuit of Christ like, Spirit filled headship or when this responsibility of leadership is usurped by their wives or simply taken away from them... CHAOS ENSUES in the home, in society and in the church. For the glory of God, I pray that Almighty God pour out His Spirit upon each and every father here today. SELAH

The epistles that Paul wrote to the Thessalonians are thought by many to be some of his earliest epistles. One thing that will be clear to us as we work our way through these letters is that they reveal Paul's theology, and also give us glimpses of the transformed lives of those who came to salvation in Jesus Christ during these early stages of the spreading of the gospel. Bear in mind that this epistle and the remarkable “gospel-centered lifestyle” of the Thessalonians was written to a church that was largely Gentile in nature; who had recently heard and come to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ out of a life of pagan worship and idolatry.He talked to them about the doctrine of divine election. He talked to them about the necessity of walking in holiness in the Christian life. He mentions the hope of the imminent return of Jesus Christ in every chapter in 1 Thessalonians. In chapter 4, we learn that one of the reasons why Paul wrote this book was to comfort saints who had questions about where their loved ones who had died were. He told them to comfort one another with the fact that that they were with Jesus.Beloved, the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ is a comforting hope in this insane world that we are living in. But what I'd like to leave you with this morning as a personal application “takeaway” can be wrapped up in 1 Thessalonians 1:9,10. It says, "For they themselves show of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God; And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come".Note beloved, in verse nine, that when these saints heard and believed the gospel, they turned to God from idols. That's repentance. They turned around. The Lord Jesus said, "repent, and believe the gospel" (Mark 1:15). 59 times we find the word repent or repentance in the New Testament. Repentance is a vital part of the Christian life.Secondly, they began to serve the Living and True God. A truly repentant heart will devote itself to serving the Living God.Thirdly, they waited (like a waiter or waitress serving tables) for the imminent return of the Lord Jesus Christ. Like the good and faithful servant that Jesus taught us about in Matthew 24:42-47, these saints were serving the Lord in the anticipation of Jesus' soon return. These transformed lives were telling others about the gospel of the soon returning Lord Jesus Christ to such an extent that every place that Paul went to share the gospel, they had already heard about it from them!What would Paul write about our zeal for spreading the gospel? What would he say about the spiritual climate and culture of our church family at Koinonia?“Blessed Father, we ask You this morning in the Name of Jesus to stir us up by Your Holy Spirit, in order that we might as a church family be about the business of serving You in such a way that souls are saved, disciples are made, and You are glorified.” SELAH

Acts 2:42 The mindset of so many when coming to the house of God is WHAT AM I GOING TO GET OUT OF IT, when instead the mindset ought to be, WHAT ARE OTHERS GOING TO GET OUT OF ME!!  That's a different proposition altogether, and these sentiments lie at the root of true Christian fellowship!!  The Greek word for “fellowship” is the Word KOINONIA.  Being translated, it means a common sharing together/communion.  Koinonia is not one-way traffic; it involves mutual participation between two or more parties.  One can think of Koinonia as a bring and share!!  I'll bring the sandwiches and you bring the salad, I'll bring the rice and you bring the meat; I'll bring the drinks and you bring the cups!!  When we gather as the Body of Christ, it ought to resemble a picnic, and I don't just mean food.  I mean a sharing of one's life!!  Let us then see what Koinonia looked like in the first Church.

By Gary Smith - The church is a place of fellowship. In the New Testament this word comes from the Greek word Koinonia. In this sermon Mr. Smith looks at how this Greek word is used in the New Testament and shows us its relationship to the upcoming Passover.

Koinonia - Part 1 - Pastor Mark Dolphens by Mark Dolphens

"Achieving a Christian spiritual corporate breakthrough—whether for a church, ministry, or business—requires a blend of spiritual, practical, and community-driven efforts. Additionally, revival or a "Spiritual Breakthrough," whether spiritual, cultural, or personal, often involves people coming together with a shared purpose or goal. This mirrors the sense of belonging and unity found within a family.The Bible uses the Greek word "Koinonia" (deep fellowship) to describe the intense connection and community that the early church experienced. The essence of koinonia encompasses concepts conveyed in the English terms community, communion, joint participation, sharing, and intimacy. This quality is deeply needed to achieve what God desires to unleash in this hour and in the lives of His followers."In this episode of the Keep It 100 Podcast, we have an open conversation with our Momentum Revival Team about "Birthing a Breakthrough" both individually and corporately.Register for "Momentum Conference 2025 - Unleashing the Wild Ones" - Jan 30th - Feb 1st at seanandchristasmith.comWebsite: www.seanandchristasmith.comFacebook: @seanandchristasmithministriesInstagram: @revseansmith @mrschristasmithTwitter: @revseansmithYouTube: @seanandchristasmithministries
