Podcasts about missions

This week Oleh Korol from Steiger Ukraine joins the podcast to share an update on the missionary efforts in Ukraine, how the war has affected their ministry and the importance of continuing to share the gospel.

This episode explores the growing movement of co-vocational ministry, a model that intentionally integrates one's everyday work with missional engagement in both local churches and global contexts. Dr. Brad Brisco joins the conversation to unpack the theology of work, clarify the differences between bi-vocational and co-vocational ministry, and share why this long-term approach can strengthen church planting, missionary sustainability, and missional imagination.

It's almost Thanksgiving, and we usually hear two different types of stories about the early European settlers in America. Some are about a group of pious and peaceful Pilgrims who came to find religious freedom. The others are about greedy Europeans who used Christianity to take advantage of Native Americans. Join Trinity, Sean, and Grace as they explore the true story of the relations between Puritans and Native Americans with their guest, Dr. Matthew Tuininga, Professor of Christian Ethics and the History of Christianity at Calvin Theological Seminary in Michigan, and author of the book, The Wars of the Lord, The Puritan Conquest of America's First People.   Show Notes: Here is a link to Dr. Tuininga's book if you'd like to find out more about this fascinating topic!

“Missions.” What comes to mind when you hear that word? Short-term mission trips? Missionaries who have been in a certain region for decades? Certain countries bringing their “blessings” to other “less fortunate” churches? But when does helping hurt? On this week's show, former dentist and missionary Dr. Charlie Vittitow and founder and president of Life in Abundance (https://lifeinabundance.org) Dr. Florence Muindi discuss their book, Teach a Man to Fish (https://www.amazon.com/Teach-Man-Fish.../dp/1496490061) that talks about what they've seen in decades of serving in missions around the world and how the mindset and methodology has developed from “give them a fish” to “teach them how to fish” mission work. From across the street to around the world, Jesus's model of making fishers is still changing the world, and the Kingdom of God.

Living Your Calling | Mission Sunday | His Word, His Plan, His People We take a deeper look at what it means to live your calling based on Acts 11. Hear from our mission partners in Kenya and Guatemala, explore the heartbeat behind global missions, and be encouraged to step into what God is already doing. Living your calling starts with small steps—and it starts now. 4 Key Insights: • Living your calling starts with obedience, not certainty, so take the step in front of you. • God uses ordinary people in unexpected places to do extraordinary things for His kingdom. • Your workplace, neighborhood, or school may be your Antioch and your unique place of influence. • The gospel spreads most through intentional relationships and community support, not just programs. • Generosity and service are natural results of living a life surrendered to Christ. Key Scripture: Acts 11 (https://www.bible.com/bible/59/ACT.11.ESV) Speaker: Chris White, Kimberly Reed, Matt Petty, Peter Abungu Series: His Word, His Plan, His People Location: Burnt Hickory Baptist Church (https://maps.app.goo.gl/hazkR3omjk9xvxZc7) Connect with us: ° Watch this sermon on YouTube (https://youtu.be/YZO-biVTnaQ) ° Follow us on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/bhbchome) ° Follow us on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/burnthickorybaptist/) ° Visit our website (https://www.burnthickory.com/) Special Guest: Peter Abungu.

Join Pastor Jack King and his old friend, Pastor Henry Miller, as they discuss the relentless pace of ministry, singing, and mission work. Brother Henry, who Pastor King has affectionately designated as a "Kentucky hillbilly" due to his mission work in the Appalachian Mountains, is a man with much going on. They talk about the importance of being active in serving God, whether through feeding people in the cold on Veterans Day or nurturing a new mission field from the ground up. Henry Miller shares his calling to open the Panacea Mission, an eight-year journey built on "baby steps" to teach people who are new to the Bible, proving that when God is in it, He provides everything—from the building to the chairs and the sound system. Key Discussion Points: -- The continuing work of the Appalachian Mountain Ministries in Kentucky, providing food, clothes, hygiene items, and the Gospel. -- The extensive local mission efforts run by Pastor Miller in Hossford, Southside, East Point, and Panacea. -- The testimony of starting the Panacea Mission after receiving a direct, life-changing word from the Lord: "You missed me one time. Don't miss me again." -- The critical need for mentorship and training up younger leaders, like the young lady Dawn, to help carry the burden of ministry as time moves on. -- The collaborative and selfless spirit of gospel music, highlighting the ministry of songwriter Joyce Igoe and the importance of working together in God's kingdom. This is episode 1250. ******* This is the radio program with the music removed.

Jenn spent most of the episode completely frozen, but luckily the Golden Boys stepped up and carried this week's show like true Podcastaway heroes. We dive into a heavy news cycle: the FBI investigation into the tragic death of an 18-year-old aboard the Carnival Horizon and the chaotic capsizing of a Dominican Republic excursion boat that left fifty cruise passengers swimming for safety.From there, we shift into a bigger conversation about AI — not just how it's shaping the industry, but how people are now using it to generate fake cruise news, viral hoaxes, and completely fabricated drama at sea. It's a wild week on the water, but we've got you covered.

Tiangong Space Station's Stranded Crew: The Shenzhou 21 crew aboard the Tiangong Space Station faces a precarious situation after the Shenzhou 20 mission astronauts returned home using their capsule, which was damaged by space debris. With no immediate escape vehicle, the crew awaits the uncrewed launch of Shenzhou 22, highlighting the risks posed by space debris in low Earth orbit.NASA's Scenic Route to Mars: NASA's Escapade mission has launched twin probes, Blue and Gold, that will take an innovative detour to Mars. Instead of heading directly, they will first travel to the second Lagrange point (L2) to study space weather for a year before using Earth's gravity to assist their journey to Mars in 2027, providing a unique 3D view of the Martian atmosphere.Upcoming Leonid Meteor Shower: The Leonid meteor shower is set to peak on November 18, but this year's display may be underwhelming, with only five to ten meteors expected per hour. Earth is passing through a sparse debris stream from the parent comet Tempel-Tuttle, leading to a quieter show than in previous years.Discovery of a New Super Earth: Astronomers have discovered a new super Earth, GJ251C, located just 18 light years away. Positioned in its star's habitable zone, this rocky planet is a prime candidate for future observation with next-generation telescopes, which may help to identify biosignatures in its atmosphere and advance our search for extraterrestrial life.For more cosmic updates, visit our website at astronomydaily.io.

Ted Esler defines 'deconstruction' as ideas and practices that dilute a Great-Commission focus on discipling the nations. He argues critical reflection is healthy, but postmodern habits and critical-theory framings can overcorrect, obscuring biblical priorities. Ted outlines four current lanes or areas in which deconstruction is apparent: “When everything is missions”;  “It's somebody else's job”; "Diaspora as replacement"; and  "Ideological distortions." Ted closes with a call to long-term, multi-generational faithfulness (not quick fixes) and a rediscovery of Christ's command to make disciples of all nations.You can read more from Ted Esler at https://tedesler.substack.com/The Mission Matters Podcast is a place to talk about the importance of our Mission as Christians.

2 Corinthians 9:11-15

4. The Failure of the Soviet Zond Program and the Decision to Gamble on Apollo 8. Bob Zimmerman discusses the fierce moon race with the Soviet Union's Roscosmos, which utilized the Zond capsule for circumlunar missions. Zond 5 and 6, launched in late 1968, suffered critical failures (guidance system and atmosphere loss, respectively), forcing the Soviets to cancel their planned manned December flight. Watching this, NASA manager George Low realized the Lunar Module (LM) for Apollo 8 was behind schedule. To maintain the initiative and potentially win the space race, Low and Sam Phillips made the aggressive decision to send Apollo 8 to the moon without the LM "lifeboat." They informed NASA boss James Webb after the decision was finalized. Webb, though initially upset, accepted the decision, betting that the engineering was sound enough to risk the mission in order to prove the US was superior. 1965 APOLLO 1

David Grinspoon discusses upcoming Venus missions: DAVINCI (Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble gases, Chemistry, and Imaging) and VERITAS (Venus Emissivity, Radio science, InSAR Topography, and Spectroscopy). DAVINCI, the first entry probe with 21st-century instruments, will precisely measure atmosphere composition, like the deuterium/hydrogen ratio, to reconstruct water history. VERITAS, an orbiter, will map the surface in detail, looking for signs of active volcanism and ancient shorelines.

Welcome to Part 2 of Episode 264 of the Mike Drop podcast, hosted by Mike Ritland, a former Navy SEAL and renowned dog trainer. In this gripping continuation, Mike sits down with Nico Kelly Nick O'Kelly, a former Green Beret who transitioned into an elite Night Stalker pilot with the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (SOAR). Kelly is also the author of the book Stigma: Breaking the Stigma, which delves into his personal battles with mental health. Listeners will find an unfiltered, raw conversation covering Kelly's high-stakes military career—from his warm reception back in Savannah as a new 160th pilot, intense training trips across the U.S., and his first combat deployment in the CENTCOM region, to the adrenaline-fueled details of real-world missions like dusty landings and contingencies. The episode takes a deep dive into Kelly's ongoing struggles with anxiety, debilitating dizzy spells, depression, and fleeting suicidal thoughts, which persisted through his pipeline and deployments but were often masked by adrenaline and focus. You'll hear about his post-deployment knee surgery that grounded him, leading to a misdiagnosis of narcolepsy, eventual identification of panic disorder, and his journey tapering off medications like Effexor while incorporating natural protocols like cold plunging and neurofeedback. Kelly shares his transition to civilian life as a financial planner specializing in veterans, insights on breaking mental health stigmas in elite units, and optimistic views on crypto and long-term investing. This episode is a powerful blend of military grit, vulnerability, and practical advice on resilience, making it essential for veterans, first responders, and anyone navigating mental health challenges or career pivots.
