Laura Gish, VP for Prayer and Advancement at Mission Mutual, is a prayer leader and mobilizer of givers and intercessors in collective impact spaces. Laura was raised in a faith-filled home and felt an exceptional call to prayer and the Bible in her early teens. Through her father's job, Laura was deeply connected to the Bible translation space from a young age and was able to witness the evolution of the illumiNations impact alliance to what it is today. In her early career, Laura served at Seed Company where she helped to spearhead a prayer movement which saw huge breakthroughs in the field and in funding.   That experience led her to Mission Mutual which serves as a backbone for multiple impact alliances in a variety of impact spaces. She has an incredible perspective on being founded and rooted in prayer, personally and as an organization, and the necessity of collaboration in the Great Commission arena. You won't want to miss all she had to share!   Major topics include: Laura's early life, faith background, and early career The story of Seed Company's donor funded prayer program Laura's favorite outcomes from the prayer program Helping organizations develop a foundation of prayer The unique power of a collective impact alliance Key characteristics of a collective impact framework The story and vision of Mission Mutual Differences between a giving fund and an impact alliance What is a backbone service provider? Multiplying ROI in the Kingdom through collaboration  Why collaboration matters to donors Best practices for an alliance  Structuring a practice of prayer as the center point of alliance culture Raising up nearly 350,000 intercessors in the ETEN collective impact alliance Next steps for a giver to move toward an impact alliance What's happening beyond Bible translation Creating a community giving circle QUOTES TO REMEMBER “When God says go, you just go.” “As we give to something, our heart expands. And as we pray for something, it grows our heart to want to give.” “Prayer is not just a strategy. It is the strategy.” “Prayer is the catalyst for intimacy with God.” “Look at what God can do when we put aside our individual logos and agendas, and we pursue the collective power of what partnership can be when it's united under a vision God has given His people to pursue and it's rooted in prayer.”  “Generosity begets generosity.” “When we yoke together in unity, the collective impact capacity isn't just doubled, it's exponentially expanded.” “Prayer is one of the most generous things we can offer.” “God changes our hearts when we pray.” “Be a faithful steward of the brokenness that God has planted inside of you.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW Mission Mutual  Seed Company (see our interview with CEO, Davis Powell) IllumiNations Bible Translation Alliance (see our interview with Todd Peterson or John Chesnut) Every Tribe Every Nation (ETEN) ACHIEVE (A Church in Every Village Everywhere) Close the Bible Gap The Finish Line Community Facebook Group The Finish Line Community LinkedIn Group BIBLE REFERENCES FROM THE SHOW Psalm 127:1a | The Lord Builds the House   Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.   John 17:21 | Oneness in the Church   that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me.   Isaiah 60:3 | Drawn to Your Light   And nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.   Ecclesiastes 4:12b | Strength in Unity   a threefold cord is not quickly broken.   Mark 16:15 | The Great Commission And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.

What does it really mean to build your life, your ministry, or your future with God not just for Him? In this Pentecost message, we dive deep into Psalm 127 to unpack the futility of self-building, the restful posture of trust, and the gospel promise of family. From Babel to the Upper Room, Pastor Josh Kelsey explores how the Spirit builds what striving never could. Jesus is not only the cornerstone. He's the builder. Unless the Lord builds the house, our labor is in vain.

Series - Foundation - Pastor Russ Atter

Psalm 127 has been the foundational scripture for HomeMatters ministry since its inception. The Boggs believe the foundation of this ministry MUST also be the foundation of every home and family unit. Everyday life can lend itself to frustration and discouragement. Those negative feelings are multiplied when we try to navigate on our own, without God! But—if we allow the Lord to build our homes and our lives, we will find the success, fulfillment, and joy that has been intended for us from the beginning! Listen in as the discussion goes today and choose to let the Lord build YOUR home!

Hope Darst has been leading worship – both in her home church and on stages around the world for decades, although unlike most artists she signed her first record deal at the age of 39 in 2019. Since then, she's penned several singles that have blessed millions of believers including Peace Be Still, Come Alive, and If the Lord Builds the House. Tasha Layton's vocational and life experience is crazy colorful – before coming to faith in Jesus Christ, she studied Buddhism and spent four years touring all over the world as a back-up vocalist for pop superstar Katy Perry. She's now a Christian music favorite and her latest single – Worship Through It – which is especially pertinent for today's conversation – was number one on the charts recently. Our third worship tutor today is Hillary Scott. If you're a country music fan, you're familiar with my dear friend Hillary because she's part of the platinum selling, multiple Grammy and CMA award-winning band, Lady A. What you might not know is that Hillary began her storied musical career as a worship leader and has never stopped using her pipes to point people to Jesus. Rounding out this fabulous foursome of guests on the porch today is Rita Springer. If you mention the name Rita Springer in the company of young worship leaders, it's likely one or two will involuntarily gasp because she's sort of like the Michael Jordan of worship leading. In addition to writing and recording songs for the church at large for the past 30+ years, Rita has also mentored hundreds of Christian artists and worship leaders around the world. Having Hope, Tasha, Hillary and Rita here together to dive into the theology of worship is the equivalent of having Muttiah Muralitharan and Richard Hadlee here to dive into the subject of bowling because they are two of the greatest professional bowlers the world has ever seen. Okay, maybe that wasn't the best analogy since bowling does seem to be more of a niche sport, but the bottom line is we've got a few of the most experienced and humble worship leaders of this generation gathered on the porch today to help us lean more fully into the embrace of Jesus, which is what shapes how we live and lead as Christ followers. I'm so excited about how God is going to reveal Himself to us today so please grab your Bible and your favorite beverage and your most comfortable chair and pull it up close to ours on the porch because believe me, you're going to want to hear every single word these saints share today.

Life without the Lord looks like seizing control. Life with the Lord means surrendering control, in our work, in our world, releasing our worry to Christ.
