This podcast episode features a profound discussion on the intersection of mental health and missions, underscoring the critical importance of understanding and addressing the mental health challenges faced by missionaries. We are joined by the esteemed Katie Walker, a PhD candidate specializing in counseling psychology, who shares her insights on the unique emotional demands encountered in missionary work. Throughout our conversation, we explore the significance of fostering resilience and the role of supportive relationships, particularly the impact of maintaining connections with friends and family back home. Katie emphasizes the necessity of intentional practices, such as therapy and self-reflection, to cultivate mental well-being in high-stress environments. Ultimately, this episode aims to equip listeners with actionable strategies to promote mental health awareness and support within their own spheres of influence.Takeaways: In an increasingly chaotic world, it is vital for leaders to cultivate intentional quietude to maintain clarity in their ministry and personal lives. The concept of mental health among missionaries highlights the unique emotional challenges they face, necessitating targeted support systems. Research indicates that maintaining connections with friends and family back home can significantly bolster the mental resilience of missionaries. The 'pedestal effect' illustrates the psychological impact on missionaries when they transition from being viewed as leaders to experiencing mundane life back home. Effective communication about mental health within missionary teams fosters an environment of safety and openness, enabling individuals to seek help without fear of stigma. Benevolent detachment allows caregivers to support others without compromising their own mental health, emphasizing the importance of self-care in service roles.

"God, where are You working in aviation that I can participate?" Throughout his life, Steve Russell, CEO and President of Jungle Aviation and Relay Service (better known as JAARS) has asked the Lord what He had in store next. That pattern continued when he earned his pilot's license; he wondered how the Lord would use that new skill to open doors for Kingdom impact. Little did he know God would use it to move him toward leadership in a global missions effort! Long before Russell arrived at JAARS, God was giving him experiences to prepare him for this season of service. Steve will share how the Lord led him from ministry as a youth pastor to the military, including leading a U.S. Army unit involved in the capture of Saddam Hussein in Iraq. Later, God moved him into government service, including in the State of Oklahoma and the U.S. House of Representatives. Now, at JAARS, he leads a worldwide mission working to facilitate delivery of God's Word into the hardest-to-reach places in the world.  Steve will also explain JAARS' history and its historic connection to Wycliffe Bible Translators. Hear how you can pray for JAARS' pilots, mechanics, and technicians, and other aspects of the ministry of JAARS.

In this episode of Journey of Hope, host Elio Constantine continues the mini-series with a meaningful conversation titled “Why Be Missional?” Joined by Bishop Dr. Yasser Eric, the discussion explores how every follower of Christ is called to live missionally bringing discipleship, love, and transformation into their communities wherever God places them.Bishop Dr. Yasser Eric draws from his own journey—from growing up as a radical Sunni Muslim in Sudan to becoming a follower of Christ—to emphasize that mission and discipleship begin with a heart for Jesus. He highlights that being missional is not about attending church on Sundays or completing programs; it's about living out Christ's love daily in our neighborhoods, workplaces, and schools.Throughout the episode, he shares practical insights on discipleship, illustrating that transformation happens relationally, day by day. Using examples from Scripture and real life, Dr. Eric explains how Christ modeled discipleship through daily engagement with His followers and how ordinary believers can serve as missionaries simply by living faithfully.He also discusses Heart for Lebanon's Mission Leadership Program, which equips men and women—including Muslim-background believers—to disciple others within their own communities. The program emphasizes context, relationships, and practical application of Scripture, showing that small, intentional groups can create long-lasting spiritual growth.This episode is a powerful reminder that discipleship and mission begin with being available to God, showing love, and living intentionally. Transformation happens over time, through patience, relationship, and faithfulness, as God works in the hearts of those we encounter.Show Notes:Being MissionalGod is a missionary God, always reaching out to people (Genesis–Revelation)Mission is not limited to pastors or church leaders; every Christian is calledLiving missionally starts in your daily context—home, work, school, and neighborhoodDiscipleship in PracticeTrue discipleship happens relationally, day by day, through example and engagementElevate others toward Christ by showing love, guidance, and patienceDiscipleship does not require perfect knowledge, only a heart for JesusHeart for Lebanon Mission Leadership Program: Equips students from diverse backgrounds to make disciples in their communitiesEmphasizes starting from context, not imposing contentBuilds organic, relational growth through small groups and home-based gatheringsKey TakeawaysBeing missional is about living Christ's love wherever you areDiscipleship is a lifelong journey, available to all believersTransformation begins with intentional relationship and patienceGod works in people's lives even before we arrive; our role is to join Him

CannCon and Alpha Warrior return for another episode of SITREP, breaking down military operations, intelligence missions, and the political narratives shaping public perception of war and national defense. The conversation moves from military life and deployment realities into discussions about aerial refueling aircraft, intelligence gathering missions, and the operational role of specialized tankers that extend mission capability for U.S. forces. Throughout the episode, CannCon and Alpha also reflect on the personal side of military service, explaining the logistical and emotional challenges troops face when preparing for deployment, from family decisions to financial planning and the uncertainty of returning home. The discussion then shifts toward political reactions surrounding military leadership and defense policy, including criticism of figures like Pete Hegseth and the broader climate of anti Trump sentiment in media and political circles. Blending military insight, political commentary, and candid conversation, SITREP Ep. 147 examines how operational realities on the ground often clash with the narratives promoted in public debate.

On Sunday March 8, State of Tel Aviv and Beyond interviewed “Major G”, a 25-year veteran of the Israeli Air Force who has been working around the clock since Operation Roaring Lion was launched on February 28. Major G commands drone crews operating over Iran. Their mission is to identify the location of missile launchers and neutralize or destroy them. Working in very tight co-ordination with the U.S. Air Force, Israel has severely hindered Iranian launch capabilities and missile supply. I was unable to photograph Major G for security reasons, but we do show some videos and photographs in this podcast - some with audio and some are silent and playing during relevant parts of our conversation.

We start in the future, where scientists are developing self-healing spacecraft materials that could automatically repair micrometeorite damage in orbit, potentially making long-duration missions safer and more resilient.  Back on Earth, the VA is preparing to scan up to a million veterans' claims for fraud, even as a shocking case surfaces in Massachusetts where a man allegedly posed as a veteran for 30 years to obtain housing and benefits. Meanwhile, the 21st Security Forces Squadron is stepping into the future of training, using immersive augmented reality kits that place defenders into realistic combat scenarios without leaving the classroom. For our Unheralded History segment, we dive into the wild and the legendary:  the dazzling optical trickery of WWI dazzle camouflage,  the CIA's unbelievable attempt to secretly raise a sunken Soviet submarine during Project Azorian,  and the incredible heroism of Marine Capt. John Ripley, who single-handedly rigged explosives under the Dong Ha bridge in Vietnam, halting an entire North Vietnamese armored advance. https://lateforchangeover.com/

In Matthew 28, Jesus was given all authority in heaven and on earth. In that same passage, He passed the baton of authority on to us as believers. All of us as believers should be walking in Jesus' authority. When the disciples couldn't cast out a demon in Mark 9, Jesus called them an unbelieving and perverse generation. Could it be that Jesus' frustration towards us comes from our lack in doing the same things He did when He walked on the earth?

The dream space is not imagination. Robert Monroe called it Locale II, a fully real nonphysical realm governed by a single law: whatever consciousness believes, the environment builds. Landscapes assemble from expectation. Cities rise from fear. Personal heavens and hells take shape with texture and temperature and the full weight of lived experience. And the beings encountered there operate with independent intelligence that has nothing to do with you. Monroe's teams learned to navigate those same depths and find the ones who forgot they could leave... If you are having a mental health crisis and need immediate help, please go to https://troubledminds.org/help/ and call somebody right now.

Guests from Pohnpei Salomon and Davelyn David spoke with Pastor Walton about growing up, coming to Christ, and joining the ministry at Good News Baptist Church.

For years, Dad Tired founder Jerrad Lopes has dreamed about taking dads and their families on a mission trip together. In this episode, he shares an exciting new opportunity for Dad Tired families to serve alongside him and his own family in Guatemala in October 2026.The trip will partner with the missions organization Adventures in Missions to serve local communities outside Guatemala City. Families will have opportunities to participate in meaningful work such as serving in children's programs, supporting local ministries, building safer cooking stoves for families, and potentially helping build a home for someone in need. But this trip is about more than service projects. It's about expanding perspective, strengthening faith, and helping dads and their kids experience the global Church together. Jerrad shares why these kinds of trips can be spiritually transformative and why he believes every Christian family should consider stepping outside their comfort zone to see what God is doing around the world. Because this is the first Dad Tired mission trip, the team will be intentionally small—only 6–7 families total. In this episode, Jerrad explains the vision for the trip, what families can expect, and how listeners can apply to join.Learn more and apply:dadtired.com/missions

Guest Dr. Ward McClellan and first-time co-host Dr. John G. Pierce join host Dr. Mike Chupp for Part 2 of a conversation about infertility and in vitro fertilization. As a reproductive endocrinologist, OB-GYN, and follower of Christ, Dr. McClellan brings both clinical expertise and biblical conviction to this topic. Dr. Pierce, CMDA's Vice President of Missions and Medical Education and Chair of Women's Health at LUCOM, is board-trained in both Internal Medicine and Obstetrics and Gynecology, bringing decades of clinical and academic experience to the discussion. Together with Dr. Chupp, they explore how Christian healthcare professionals can navigate the ethical complexities of IVF, uphold the dignity of every human life, and care well for couples facing infertility while remaining faithful to Christ in a rapidly evolving field of medicine.

In this message, missionary Saleh shares about faith and the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, drawing from passages including Luke 14:25–26 and John 16:23–24. He explains how faith grows as believers hear and trust the Word of God, moving beyond knowledge of Scripture to a personal confidence in what God has said. Saleh also recounts his own testimony of coming to faith in Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, and developing a lasting desire to share the gospel with others. Along the way, he speaks about engaging with Muslims by asking thoughtful questions about Jesus and the gospel, emphasizing the importance of the crucifixion and resurrection. This teaching encourages believers to trust the promises of Scripture, depend on the Holy Spirit, and share the good news of Jesus with others.

Imagine if you ask someone to become a monthly donor for just $10, and they give more than triple that?It's no secret that talking about monthly giving strategies and case studies is my jam, so I brought on Raegan Mach to break down Urban Bridge's “10 for 10” campaign.Their goal? 25 new donors at $10/month to celebrate their 10-year anniversary. In just 2.5 months, they surpassed it!You'll hear how they drove 15 new donors in the first 48 hours with a CEO-led launch video, strategic campaign champions, and consistent messaging across email and social, and why LinkedIn turned out to be a surprisingly powerful conversion channel.If you've been thinking about launching or prioritizing monthly giving, this is a practical, replicable case study you won't want to miss.Resources & LinksConnect with Raegan on LinkedIn and Instagram and learn more about Urban Bridge on their website.

The return of "What About?" Wednesdays! Text us your questions for apologist and pastor Robby Lashua!Many school advocate for "service learning", an educational concept defined as "an educational approach that combines meaningful community service with instruction and reflection to enrich the learning experience, teach civic responsibility, and strengthen communities."  But, at Northwest Christian, the bones of this concept are restructured, repurposed, and retitled "Missions Learning".So, pragmatically, what is the difference between service learning and Northwest Christian's "Missions Learning"?Tomorrow, March 4, is one of the 2025/2026 school year's "High School Serve Days" - a day completely dedicated to Missions Learning.  As such, we thought it would be interesting to explore this question, as well as several others, with Tyler Collins, the high school teacher/leader that drives the program forward.What is the difference between service learning and Missions Learning?  What happens when over 500 high schoolers set out to work within the community?  Where do they go and what do they do?  And, perhaps most importantly, is it having the desire impact in the lives of students?Missions Learning is an aspect of Northwest Christian's Pursuing His Purpose game plan and strategy.  For more information, on Pursuing His Purpose, please follow this link to an explanatory PDF or visit this page within the school's website.

He’s also stood with new believers who were attacked for their faith in Jesus. Scripture tells Christians to expect trials in life.

In this episode, Dr. Jockers sits down with Taylor Dukes to unpack her powerful journey of discovering a brain tumor with no symptoms and navigating a glioma diagnosis through faith and integrative care. You'll learn how she approached her diagnosis without fear and why slowing down to seek wisdom changed everything. This conversation reveals what it looks like to trust God while taking bold action.   You'll discover how immune dysfunction, chronic infections, parasites, and toxic burden can create the perfect storm for cancer development. Taylor explains how her tumor likely grew silently for years and how addressing root causes — from gut health to Lyme to detoxification — became central to her recovery.
