As we embark on a new year, we're invited to refocus our hearts and lives on Jesus, the One who walks among His people with love and purpose. The image of Christ in Revelation 1 reminds us of His intimate Presence with His church, calling us to live with greater awareness of His guiding hand. This year, we're encouraged to embody Authenticity in our faith, being honest with ourselves, others, and God. We're called to cultivate deeper Relational Living by investing in meaningful connections and building a strong, supportive Gathered Community. Living Missionally, we step into our role as light-bearers, bringing the hope of the Gospel to every corner of our lives. Together, we grow stronger through Equipping and Empowering one another, creating a tapestry of spiritual mentorship where each person both learns and leads. As we embrace a life grounded in Spirit and Truth, we invite God to shape us in body, mind, and spirit, transforming us into reflections of His image. This reset isn't about performance or perfection but about drawing close to Jesus with humility. In communion, we're reminded of the invitation to surrender, realign with God's purposes, and allow Him to renew us. As a church, we begin this year united in Christ, ready to live out His Presence in every moment.
Josh teaches from 2 Corinthians 5:18-21 on the barriers and practical steps to living missionally.
In this episode, we explore the impact of living in the community and how it plays a powerful role in foster care recruitment. We share our personal foster care stories and experiences and reflect on how our journeys began by being surrounded by people who were obedient to their calling as foster parents.While formal recruitment efforts are important, we explore how simply living out our day-to-day lives with purpose can serve as the most significant form of recruitment. By living on mission for God, we naturally create spaces where others are inspired and supported to step into foster care. Tune in to hear how community can change lives and make a lasting difference in the foster care system.Episode Highlights: Importance of community in foster care.Personal stories of starting our foster journeys.Everyday life as a form of recruitment.Obedience to the call of fostering.Building a support system through community.Intentional living can lead others to foster.Find More on Hope Bridge:Sign Up For Our Foster Family Recruitment Email ListFind a Support GroupVisit Our Website Follow us on InstagramFollow us on Facebook Foster Our Community Instagram This show has been produced by Adkins Media Co.
What if the greatest rescue mission ever conceived was unfolding right before our eyes? Join us as we uncover "The Story of Redemption" and witness how God orchestrates a divine plan to save humanity from the clutches of sin. Through the lens of Genesis, we reflect on the Fall and the profound necessity of redemption, driving home the point that living eternally in sin is a fate worse than death. Discover why no one seeks rescue from paradise, and why our ultimate need is for salvation from the darkness within.Imagine being called to a mission that turns struggle into profound joy. In "Living Missionally," we grapple with our human limitations and celebrate God's mercy in giving us finite lifespans for the sake of protecting paradise. Learn why missional living should be seen as a thrilling opportunity rather than a dutiful obligation. We'll share insights on how embracing the mission of Christ can transform our daily lives and contribute to the grand tapestry of God's kingdom.The journey doesn't stop there. We dive into the stories of biblical giants in "Call to Mission and Blessing" and "The Mission of Moses." From Abraham's courageous journey to Moses' pivotal leadership, we explore the power of faith and obedience. Witness how small acts of devotion can lead to monumental outcomes, as illustrated in "Biblical Characters Following God's Call." Finally, "God's Mission and Believers' Response" and "The Promise of Blessing and Opportunity" invite you to reflect on the transformative power of trust in God's plans. Engage with us as we uncover the timeless lessons of purpose, faith, and divine blessing, and find your place in this enduring story.
Are we going to let differences tear us apart or can we love each other through it? WHAT A QUESTION! I'm so grateful for my friend, Pastor Terry Crist, who shares his wisdom and teaches us so well in this conversation. We talk about being called to live in the tension of grace and truth, having courageous conversations without contention, and pursuing humility. Pastor Terry's latest book, Loving Samaritans is another great resource to help set us up well for what's ahead this year! . . . . . Want to watch this episode on YouTube?

Jon Fiester and Abby Giwojna know their neighborhood well--and it can be a rough neighborhood. Renewal MB Church in Rapid City, South Dakota is located in a part of town known for drugs, gang activity, and (frankly) a lack of hope. While planting a church in this type of community brings a set of challenges, it also brings unique opportunities. In this week's LEAD Pods, Jon and Abby share how they "live missionally" in their community day-to-day by intentionally working alongside police officers, offering free coffee to teenagers, and being ok with a broken foosball table. Your community likely doesn't look like theirs, but their dedication to knowing and loving their neighbors is something we can all learn from!

We begin a new mini-series in the book of Daniel: "Living Missionally." Last week we finished our previous series on God's attributes by highlighting the missional heart of God. So, for the next three weeks, we'll be looking at a few key passages in Daniel which demonstrate how to live out God's missional heart in a culture often at odds with our faith. The book of Daniel is set in Babylon, as the people of God are in exile. They are pressured to give up their identity and be assimilated into the culture. The temptation would be to withdraw fully. Yet that is not the path God calls them to live. Instead, as Jeremiah writes (in a passage during the same time frame; Jer.29:4-7), they are called to move into the city and seek its thriving. Yet that command poses immediate problems. How does a follower of God do that in a city often at odds with biblical values? On one hand, how do we avoid offending neighbors unnecessarily? On the other hand, how do we avoid simply being assimilated into other cultural norms? These questions are as germane for Christians today as they are for our non-Christian friends. So let's ask the book of Daniel about "Everyday Missions" (Daniel 1:1-21).

Does your faith have a whole in it? Does your faith go beyond the walls of the church? Sometimes we isolate ourselves in our own Christian bubble. We try to escape from the world. But this is not what we are called to do. Each of us are called to live a life on mission for God with compassion and love. We are God's plan to spread His good news and live out our faith publicly. Everyone has their own unique gifts and talents that can be used to point people toward Jesus. In this sermon, we learn more about the importance of living a life on mission and our part in God's plan. Speakers: Grace Pothen and Bryan McCabe

Christian Assembly is a multi-ethnic and historical church in Eagle Rock, CA with four central values: Grace, Worship, Family and Kingdom. Our podcast guest today is Christian Assembly's Kingdom Pastor, Scott Quay, who leads the task of partnering with local and global opportunities for acts of compassion and justice and equipping his congregation to adopt a missional lifestyle. He shares why missions is integral in the character of Jesus and how this has inspired his church to mentor at-risk youth and help feed over 5000 individuals in their community throughout the pandemic. We also heard Pastor Scott's strategy when it comes to forming partnerships, training marketplace leaders to advance the kingdom in their spheres of influence, and serving the unreached in Eagle Rock.

What does it mean to live on mission? Trey Shaw has spent nearly two decades in Hungary serving as a church planter and missionary. But he didn't always want to be a missionary and maintains a much broader view of what it means to "live missionally," wherever that may be in the world. “I'm a missionary, but that's a role—there's no difference in quality between a missionary and someone who is not,” Trey told us in Episode #013. “We all have a role in the Kingdom; if you work at a Fortune 500 company in the city, then you take it with you and you live it out. It's all God's business.”Take a listen to this week's episode to see how humility intersects with the ordinary to create something truly extraordinary in the Kingdom of God. _____________Have you subscribed to our podcast yet?
