Podcasts about Ministering

Dr. Guy Waters is the Professor of New Testament at the Reformed Theological Seminary, Jackson, Mississippi and a teaching elder in the Mississippi presbytery of the Presbyterian Church in America. Today, he joins us to speak about his book, One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church (Lexham Academic), in which he sets out a full-scale Reformed doctrine of the church. The title echoes the four classical “marks” confessed in the Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed. This study is an extended exploration of how Scripture, read through a Reformed lens, fills out each of those creedal descriptors and binds them together into a single, coherent doctrine of the church. Dr. Waters organizes the book in three movements: Biblical Revelation (Part I). Seven chapters trace “the people of God” from creation and Eden through Abraham, Moses, the prophets, Christ and the apostles, showing that God has always had one covenant people that reaches its eschatological maturity in the new-covenant church. Doctrinal Construction (Part II). Waters treats the classic loci of ecclesiology: the church's four attributes (one, holy, catholic, apostolic); its marks (pure preaching, right sacraments, biblical discipline); its government (Christ the king, officers and courts); its worship (word, sacraments, prayer, Lord's Day); its life (gifts and discipline); and its mission (“gathering and perfecting the saints” until Christ returns) . Truth for Life and Mission (Part III). A final chapter applies the doctrine to church-state relations, defending a robust spirituality of the church and principled religious liberty. The conclusion distills the argument into seven theses that function as a theological checksum. Throughout, Waters interlaces biblical exegesis, historical theology and confessional sources (especially the Westminster Standards). The result is both an academic survey and a pastoral manifesto aimed at equipping the church for faithful witness today. The conversation explores the essential identity and mission of the church, the continuity between the Old and New Testaments, and what is distinctly new through Christ's redemptive work. Waters outlines the seven theses of his book, offering clarity on ecclesiology for today's church, particularly in light of confusion over polity, worship, and the church's relation to the state. This episode is an invitation to recover a robust, Reformed understanding of the church's nature and calling, rooted in Scripture and developed in the tradition of historic confessions.

Ministry isn't a job title—it's a way of life. In this powerful Thursday episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, co-hosts Rachael Culpepper and Natalie Ambrose unpack what it means for families to embrace ministry as both a calling and a legacy. Whether you're a family of pastors, faithful volunteers, or simply parents trying to serve Jesus through everyday moments, this conversation will challenge and encourage you to let your family's light shine brightly in the world.  Through heartfelt stories—from Rich Mullins' radical generosity to the everyday acts of preschool volunteering and neighborhood service—Rachael and Natalie illustrate that ministry can happen anywhere: around the kitchen table, in the car, at a church workday, or even in the checkout line. You'll be reminded that a Kingdom impact doesn't require a pulpit, just a posture of obedience.  You'll also hear from AHG Founder & Executive Director Emeritus Patti Garibay in a special Raising Godly Girls Minute that paints a picture of young girls ministering to hospital patients through simple, Spirit-led acts of compassion. It's a moving reminder that no one is too young—or too ordinary—to be used by God.  This episode dives into two vital heart postures every family can adopt: a willingness to let God multiply their influence and a readiness to make sacrifices for His Kingdom. Whether you're serving in a formal church role or quietly discipling your daughter at home, your life of faithfulness can ripple into eternity.  Scriptures Referenced:  Matthew 25:34–40 – “Whatever you did for the least of these…you did for Me.”  Proverbs 19:21 – “Many are the plans in a person's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails.”  Acts 1:8 – “You will be My witnesses…to the ends of the earth.”  Deuteronomy 7:9 – “He is the faithful God, keeping His covenant of love to a thousand generations…”  Explore more resources to raise girls rooted in Christ at raisinggodlygirls.com.   To find or start an AHG Troop in your area, visit americanheritagegirls.org.

Is deliverance enough? In any journey of spiritual freedom, deliverance is often viewed as a quick fix, but true liberation requires much more than a "quicky deliverance" session! It's essential to understand that while casting out demons is a vital step, it is not the end-all of the multi-layered and complicated process of releasing strongholds. Healing and ministering to an individual, with gentleness, plays a crucial role in your transformative journey. Without addressing the deep-rooted wounds and trauma within a wounded soul, individuals may find themselves trapped in a vicious cycle of recurring patterns. Embrace the wisdom that healing is just as important as deliverance. Allow yourself the grace and time to confront and heal from the past without judgment!

The children on missionaries are ofter referred to as TCKs. They don't completely fit in their stateside culture, nor do they fit in their home (overseas) culture. They exist in a third reality that is made up of both cultures combined. That is why we refer to these kids as Third Culture Kids. Ann Bowman has third culture grandkids and has seen the ways that their experiences abroad and on furlough have shaped them to be unique in so many ways. Join us as Ann talks about ways that we all can minister to these very special kiddos.https://www.tcktraining.com/coursesAnn's Book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DLYQ5Z99?ref_=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cp_ud_dp_74V3YDAP3TC17FNT61N3&skipTwisterOG=1&bestFormat=true&newOGT=1Ann's Website: https://neversignedup.com

How are you abiding in Christ and seeking God in business and life?In this episode, Jeff, Jeff, and Randy discuss: Following through on what you start.Being intentional about your faith in business.Ministering to your employees and your clients.Let God show you your priorities.  Key Takeaways: Discover how God has made you. The more you can cooperate and develop that, the more the magic will happen.There is power in giving people a hand up, not just a handout.Consider tithing your time - designate some of your hours as intentional time with God or with the ministry for His Kingdom.God's calling and God's timing are often different.  "If you're sensing God's calling you to something, listen to that and start pursuing that, start preparing for that. Ensure it's from God and that He wants you to do that, and what your role is, then what the timing is." —  Randy Price About Randy Price: Randy and Susan Price opened Right at Home in March of 2009 after they saw the fast-growing care needs of seniors in Northeast Texas. Having a father who had Lewy Body dementia (an ugly combination of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases), Randy is even more passionate about caring for the patients and the caregivers.Before opening Right at Home, Randy and Susan served for 2 years as missionaries in Mexico. Previous to that, Randy worked in leadership roles in manufacturing for 17 years. Randy has a BA in Economics with a secondary emphasis in Accounting from the University of Texas at Austin.  After years of prayer, counsel & thought, Randy decided to establish Community for Hope (https://communityforhope.net/testimonials/) to more effectively minister to his 400+ employees across 10+ offices in East Texas. Randy and Susan have been married for 39 years and have seven children, six in-laws, and nine grandchildren!

He's joined by Mr. Rob Guss, an elder at Calvary OPC in Glenside, Pennsylvania, who shares his powerful testimony of God's grace in delivering him from addiction.Addiction brings with it deep brokenness. It can consume a family's resources and, when discovered, often brings added pressure to the household—resulting in broken relationships, sadness, confusion, and other diaconal needs. This conversation hopes to equip deacons to better understand how to walk alongside those caught in addiction—emphasizing the importance of presence, listening, and long-term counsel. A practical case study at the end offers a real-world scenario, guiding deacons through how to respond when someone confesses a struggle with addiction. The episode reminds listeners that while the path may be long and difficult, deacons are privileged to come alongside those suffering with lasting hope through the love of Christ.Referenced in this episode:Flesh and Thorn: Understanding Addiction as Disease Dr. James Berry; Ordained Servant June-July 2018You can find all of our episodes at thereformeddeacon.org.

In the book of Acts chapter 13 it says that while they ministered to the Lord the Holy Spirit spoke, and so began the first missionary journey. In this message, you will learn what ministering to the Lord is and the benefits to making this practice part of your everyday life.

Ministering to those you know and love can be hard. And sometimes, it's not for you.

Ministering assignments in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are made so that all members of the Church are remembered and cared for in ways similar to how Jesus Christ blessed those around Him. In this episode of the Church News podcast, Church News reporter Mary Richards is joined by Relief Society General President Camille N. Johnson and Elder Robert M. Daines, a General Authority Seventy, to discuss how ministering is a vital way to help accomplish the work of salvation and exaltation — and how Saints can grow in their confidence before the Lord to become more like Him as they fulfill these assignments. The Church News Podcast is a weekly podcast that invites listeners to make a journey of connection with members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints across the globe. Hosts Jon Ryan Jensen, editor of the Church News, and Church News reporter Mary Richards share unique views of the stories, events, and people who form this international faith.

When someone you love is in a mental health crisis, what do you say? How do you show up without panicking or trying to fix it all?In this episode, Corrine and Neil talk through one of the most tender and difficult questions they've ever received: “What do you say to someone who says they're done?”—a phrase that often signals deep emotional pain or even suicidal thoughts.Drawing from principles of recovery, their own personal experiences, and their faith in Jesus Christ, Corrine and Neil explore how to truly support someone who feels like they've reached their breaking point. They offer practical tools—like the ACT method (Ask, Care, Tell)—and compassionate reminders that presence matters far more than having the perfect words.They discuss what emotional distress really feels like, how to sit with someone in that darkness without trying to rush them out of it, and why sometimes, saying “just breathe” is more powerful than trying to fix anything. You'll also hear a thoughtful conversation on the difference between helping someone and trying to control the outcome, and how to lean into faith when everything feels out of your hands.Whether you're trying to support someone dealing with suicidal ideation or you're seeking peace in your own struggle, this conversation is a gentle and faith-filled place to begin.Supporting Resources:How to Help Someone in Crisis - https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/suicide-how-to-help/how-to-help-someone-in-crisis?lang=engSuicide Prevention and Ministering - https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/get-help/suicide?lang=engGive Us This Day Our Daily Bread by Elder D.

ShownotesGrief can present itself in many ways aside from losing someone we love to death. From the loss of identity to the loss of hopes and dreams for the future, grief is not isolated to death. Separation can also be its own type of grief. Whether the separation is intentional or not, it can prove difficult for even those with the strongest faith. But what about those who are not only cut off from loved ones like friends and family? How is it different, for example, for those cut off from society? How can they still be ministered to in a way that still gives them a sense of the dignity they deserve as a human being?Our Guest Deacon Greg Orf has been ordained in the Archdiocese of Atlanta for 8 years.  He has served as a chaplain in the Gilmer County Sheriff's department and is engaged with the GA Depart of Corrections to start a Catholic presence in Phillips State Prison as a new endeavor. Links from the show​Holy Mother Redeemer (Alma Redemptoris Mater)Scripture​The Judgement of Nations, Gospel of Matthew Prayer for all those who are imprisoned as well as those who have no one praying for them.Journaling Questions​What touched you most about this episode?​How can you incorporate praying for those who are imprisoned into your prayer life?​Deacon Greg mentioned the concept of “ministry of presence.” How can you be more present to those who just need the presence of someone?​What is your mourning glory?

Links The Art of Gathering, by Priya Parker Share your thoughts in the Leading Saints community Read the transcript of this podcast Get 14-day access to the Core Leader Library Highlights Adam reflects on his three years as elders quorum president, recalling the initial challenge of revitalizing a stagnant quorum after the pandemic. His quorum includes a diverse mix of young adults and seniors, which made fostering meaningful connections essential. To lead effectively, Adam prioritized creating a safe space for open discussions, believing connection must come before impactful gospel instruction. He shares practical strategies, such as beginning meetings with personal check-ins and setting ground rules to encourage trust and honesty. These efforts helped members feel heard and valued. The discussion shifts to ministering, where Adam stresses the importance of building personal connections during interviews. Instead of administrative check-ins, he promotes genuine conversations about members' lives to create a culture of support and vulnerability.

How is God at work amid ongoing fighting since Russia's invasion of Ukraine? Eric Mock, from the Slavic Gospel Association, wants to remind us that the gospel is going forth as Christians stay faithful to serve the Lord in spite of difficulties and hardship. He'll share stories of Ukrainian pastors who kept up their ministries, even with Russian tanks outside their homes. The Slavic Gospel Association (SGA) started in 1934, built on a foundation of prayer with a heart to reach those behind the Iron Curtain with the gospel. One of the ministry's early effort was a dictation-speed recitation of the Bible broadcast over shortwave radio—allowing believers in Russia and other Soviet nations to create their own hand-written Bibles. (The Voice of the Martyrs has a similar broadcast reaching into North Korea today.) Hear more about SGA's history and how the Lord brought Eric to serve there in 2002 to support local churches and other ministries in 13 countries. He will describe how the fall of the Iron Curtain led to revival but then how consumerism later lessened revival fires. Eric challenges all of us to see the examples of our brothers and sisters in Ukraine who are ministering and risking their lives for the sake of the gospel. Pray that the gospel would continue to go forth in Russia, Ukraine and other nations in the region, and that Christians would stay faithful through hardship.
