What happens when the face of the world's largest “ex-gay” ministry completely reverses course… and decades later is arrested in a shocking underage sex sting investigation? In this explosive episode, Pastor Tim Hatch examines the tragic rise and fall of Alan Chambers, former president of Exodus International — once the most influential Christian organization promoting “conversion therapy” and freedom from homosexuality through faith. From his childhood gender confusion… to becoming the national spokesperson for the ex-gay movement… to publicly abandoning core biblical convictions on sexuality… marching in Pride parades… apologizing for conversion therapy… and now facing criminal charges involving the alleged solicitation of a minor — this story raises massive questions about identity, temptation, truth, repentance, theology, and spiritual deception. Was this simply hypocrisy? A cautionary tale? Or a deeper warning to the modern Church? This episode explores: • The rise and collapse of Exodus International • Alan Chambers' dramatic theological shift on homosexuality • The debate over “conversion therapy” • LGBTQ ideology and Christianity • Same-sex attraction and identity struggles • Gender confusion in childhood • Progressive Christianity and compromise • Biblical truth vs cultural acceptance • The danger of abandoning God's Word • Spiritual deception, temptation, and hidden sin • The shocking 2026 criminal allegations against Alan Chambers • What Christians should learn from this story

You weren't meant to lead kids ministry alone — and this episode is your wake-up call to stop trying. In Part 2 of our "Tools for Kids Ministry Leaders" series, Tom, Cole, Ben, and Vickie get real about the tools that aren't apps or calendars — they're people. If you caught Part 1 (featuring the legendary Jim Wideman), you already know the power of systems and AI. Now we're going deeper into the human side of leading well. The conversation kicks off with Ben sharing what he's learned at his new church — a place where volunteers don't just show up, they own their roles. The team unpacks why so many leaders fall into the trap of believing "nobody wants to help," and Tom delivers a passionate challenge: stop saying no for people before you even ask them. Cast the vision, make the invite specific, and watch what God does. From there, Vickie breaks down her coaching philosophy — why every ministry, regardless of size, needs leaders of leaders. Whether you call them coaches, team leads, or area leads, these higher-capacity volunteers are the key to multiplying your impact without multiplying your exhaustion. The crew also gets personal about burnout, sharing how finding mentors and coaches transformed their ministries and extended their longevity. Ben talks about Dan, his longtime sounding board. Tom opens up about nearly burning out 15 years in. And the team offers practical advice on what to look for when hiring or choosing a coach — credentials, experience, and a heart for developing others, not just giving advice. Finally, they round out with systems — Planning Center, Google Drive, OneNote, voice memos, email folders, and even AI tools that help you work smarter so you can be more relational. Ready to stop leading alone? Join the KMC community on Facebook or level up at kidminplus.net for leadership-level conversations, live coaching, and round table discussions with all four coaches.

Tim is the National Director of Youth for Christ Canada. To contact Tim or learn more about YFC, visit https://yfc.ca/about/our-team/?filter-department=lead-team.  In the pre-show, Rob, Geoff, and Chris discuss new findings on the quiet revival in the UK and the religious resurgence in Canada. For more information about the podcast, visit www.churchinthenorth.ca.  For questions or inquiries, please email us at podcast@churchinthenorth.ca.  If you like what you hear, please share this podcast with others, give us a review, or leave a comment.

What are the best tools for kids ministry leaders to save time and reduce stress? In this episode of the KMC Collective Podcast, Tom, Ben, and Vickie share the practical, everyday tools that make children's ministry leadership easier — from calendar time blocking and AI for curriculum writing to Canva for church design and Bible study resources like Logos and BibleProject.

In this mini-series of podcast episodes called, "Radical Hospitality & Meaningful Connections" (RHMC), we explore the mission, vision, and driving values of our church. If you are new to our church family and curious about the direction of our church, this is a great series for you to find clarity regarding who we are and where we're headed. We are also asking our Community Group Leaders and Ministry Leaders to listen to these episodes so that we can align our vision and direction as we serve alongside one another. In this particular episode, we survey the Old Testament to understand why the theme of hospitality is so significant in the Bible. Everything that we do as a church is rooted in God's Word, so we'll begin the series with the Bible.

The demands of life and ministry have taught most of us to prioritize doing over being. Yet eventually we realize that “trying harder” doesn't satisfy our deepest longing for a flourishing relationship with Jesus. Thankfully the Good Shepherd meets us at “the end of ourselves” and invites us into spacious places of renewal. ​Join us for this episode of Soul Talks as Kristi talks to Ron Thompson, a pastor with 30+ years of experience who also serves as a Sr. Spiritual Director on our staff. Ron shares how coming on a Soul Shepherding retreat helped him become enthralled with Jesus, find freedom from depression, and transform how he cares for others in partnership with Christ. Friend, we pray that you can also go deeper in Jesus' grace on a retreat.  Resources for this Episode: Attend a Soul Shepherding Retreat Earn a Certificate in Spiritual Direction Meet with a Soul Shepherding Spiritual Director Donate to Support Soul Shepherding and Soul Talks

Many of us go through life unaware of how our histories influence the way we relate: to God, to ourselves, and to the people closest to us. Old patterns and unresolved pain often surface in subtle ways, shaping our reactions and the ways we show up in relationships. In this conversation, I'm joined by Pete Sharp, a family friend and missionary with over 20 years of experience in cross-cultural work and leadership. Pete shares openly about recognizing old self-strategies, stepping into real-time awareness, and letting the truth of the gospel meet the deepest parts of his story. We talk about how healing isn't just personal. it affects marriages, friendships, and the way we engage with the world. I hope you'll listen in. Thought-provoking quotes: "I just kept thinking, I need to try harder. I just need to stop doing that thing. It made me realize it's a lie to think I'm just stuck in this way of behaving and that I can't get out of it. There might actually be a different strategy than just trying harder to be different.” - Pete Sharp “Healing, for me, is bringing the truth of the gospel to bear on our stories and on our past experiences.” - Pete Sharp "We all have a false gospel that we believe — a way of surviving that we learned in childhood. It's usually something like, ‘I'm okay so long as…' and then you fill in the blank.” - Pete Sharp "When we engage in healing, it frees us up to have a broad range of responses. I feel now less stuck. It just feels like there are more options in the toolbox. I don't feel quite so trapped in always responding the same way." - Pete Sharp Get Faith & Feeling's weekly resource email Watch this episode on YouTube Grab a copy of my book Stop Saying I'm Fine Connect with me on my website Find me on Instagram @__taylorjoy__ Key words: spirituality, personal growth, healing, self-protection, gospel, faith, formation, identity, attachment, shame, insecurity, marriage, leadership, community, vulnerability, triggers, patterns, growth, freedom, discipleship, self-awareness, relationships

It is week 3 of our podcast series all about raising up the next generation of leaders. My hope is that throughout these 4 episodes, we will begin to answer these 3 questions: ​ Why is it so hard to find people to work on kids ministry staff​ How can we raise up the next generation of leaders? ​ How can we better disciple Gen Z? My guest today is Julie Puckett. Julie is the Central Kids Pastor at LakePointe Church in Texas. Julie works side by side with LakePointe school of ministry to raise the next generation of ministry leaders. In our conversation today, Julie and I talk about what is keeping Gen Z from jumping into vocational ministry and how we better invite young leaders into leadership within the local church. Resources Mentioned: Kids Ministry Circle CohortKids Ministry Circle Summit

It seems like every other day brings a story of a Christian leader, whether well-known or not, that falls into moral failure. How should we respond? Do we continue to use their teaching and writing after the revelations of sin come to light? And perhaps most importantly, are there lessons we need to learn about ourselves from the sins of those who have been entrusted with leadership? That's what we're talking about on this timely and sadly necessary episode of Youth Culture Matters.

Episode DescriptionIn this episode of the Lead Ministry Podcast, Josh Denhart and Bill Van Kirk unpack what it means to pursue biblical productivity at the start of a new year. They explore essential productivity for 2026, offering a God-centered vision of work, diligence, and stewardship for ministry leaders.If you've ever felt torn between “doing more” and staying faithful to your family, soul, and calling, this episode will equip and inspire you with a framework for fruitful, sustainable productivity that glorifies God.Key Topics CoveredRedefining productivity – moving from secular hustle to biblical stewardshipProcesses and people – why ministry leaders must build systems and develop volunteersEternal reward – how diligence today shapes the “well done” you will hear tomorrowKey Quote“God doesn't expect maintenance; He expects a return on what He's entrusted to you.”Scripture ReferencesColossians 3:23 – “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.”Ephesians 5:15–16 – “Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time.”Matthew 25:14–30 – The parable of the talents, where the Master commends faithful servants who multiply what they were given.TakeawayBiblical productivity is not about burning the candle at both ends. It is about honoring God with focused, diligent work that builds processes, develops people, and serves the local church. When you treat this year as your “one and only life” and labor with eternity in view, you position yourself to experience the joy of fruitfulness now and the reward of “well done” later.Call to ActionWe hope this episode encourages and equips you.

Erwin explains the evolution of the Arena from a business-centered community to a ministry-focused hub designed to strengthen leaders through Scripture and shared experience. Guest Eric Johnson, former pastor at Bethel and now leading Studio Church, shares his journey of vision, transition, and rebuilding infrastructure from the ground up. He reflects on leadership timing, the challenge of backlash, and the importance of clear vision and emotional resilience when pastoring through change. Together, they discuss the delicate balance between innovation and tradition, the integration of AI tools into church systems, and the need for community-based decision-making. The conversation expands to the psychological demands of leadership, the tension between self-care and service, and the cultural shift toward emotional health in ministry. Erwin and Eric emphasize that great leadership is rooted not in preference but in purpose—requiring humility, adaptability, and a deep commitment to the people being led. The episode closes with an invitation to join the Arena Pastors Call, a space for ongoing growth, collaboration, and mentorship among spiritual leaders.Join the Mind Shift community here: http://erwinmcmanus.com/mindshiftpodFollow On Socialhttps://www.youtube.com/@ErwinRaphaelMcManushttps://instagram.com/mindshiftpodhttps://instagram.com/erwinmcmanushttps://instagram.com/aaroncmcmanusJoin The Newsletter!https://erwinmcmanus.com/newsletter
