Karol is open, honest and real in both her speaking and her writing. Formerly a teacher, Karol is the best-selling author of over 35 books including The Power of a Positive Mom, Positive Leadership Principles for Women and her newest book, Becoming a Woman of the Word   Wisdom for parents with children in Lower School: This can be one of the most difficult times in life - you are stretched thin, tired, and have so many things tugging at you! But at those times when you're at your weakest, we need to lean into God - when we are weak, He is strong. Remember that you don't have to “do everything” - look to the Lord for guidance and prudence! Psalm 145:14 - The Lord upholds all who are falling and raises up all who are bowed down.   Wisdom for parents with children in Middle School: Important time for parents to be “present” - offer emotional strength and patience as your child adjusts to all the hormonal changes happening in their bodies. Before reacting, ask the Lord for discernment - to see the heart of your child, not just the outside “prickliness.” Middle School students are not a finished product! Great time to listen to the heart of your child - dinner time conversations!   Wisdom for parents with children in Upper School: Good to guide your children toward activities that help use their God-given giftings. Pay close attention to their “friends” - who is influencing your child? Be hospitable, have those friends in your home to influence them as well. Your children are watching you - model an authentic walk with and love for the Lord! The Gospel Comes with a House Key: Practicing Radically Ordinary Hospitality in Our Post-Christian World by Rosaria Butterfield   Encouragement for grandparents: Psalm 145:4 - One generation shall commend your works to another, and shall declare your mighty acts. Grandparents, now is the time to share that wisdom and experience with the generations coming up! Goal - to do more ministry in your final “lap” than all your years up to this point!

In this episode of the 5 Leadership Questions podcast, Todd Adkins and Dan Iten are joined by Danny Franks, the Connections Pastor at the Summit Church in Raleigh, North Carolina, as they discuss the book, "Unreasonable Hospitality" by Will Guidara. The book tells the story of Will Guidara, a New York restaurateur, and his experience running the number-one restaurant in the world. The podcast explores the book's main points, such as the importance of exceptional service and authentic connections, and how they apply to leadership and first impressions within the church. BEST QUOTES “They really focused on the service and what happened in the dining room versus what happened in the kitchen. As church leaders, we can really learn a lot about that as we learn to set up the table for guests as they enter our building.” – Danny Franks “It's important for us to understand that in the context of the church, we need to be aware of where the culture has shifted and to adjust accordingly. Not to water down what we do, if anything, to distill down what we do to serve better.” – Todd Adkins “No matter what industry you're in, service is ultimately important.” – Todd Adkins “When you do your job in color, it means that you make people feel great about the job that you're doing for them. You're doing it to make an authentic connection, which is hospitality.” – Danny Franks “There are certain fads that come and go with the church world, but taking care of humans, that's not ever going to go away. That's something that we need to continue to think about as we try to make people feel welcome and ready to worship the Lord coming into a Sunday service.” – Danny Franks “Repetition is extremely important. Whether it's our vision and values, or any of those things, you can't assume that somebody understands why you're doing it.” – Todd Adkins “A lot of leadership is shifting from being intuitive to intentional, and that's where you get the gains.” – Todd Adkins “Being in the local church, my primary role is built around creating a culture that takes outsiders and makes them insiders.” – Danny Franks “I think a lot of times, especially in the climate that we're in too many people have too few expectations for churches, and they just kind of show up expecting to be disappointed if they show up at all.” – Danny Franks Yes, it's a clear command from Scripture that we must show hospitality. But it's not supposed to point to itself. It's got a point beyond itself as a signpost straight to the Gospel. We can't get that wrong.” – Danny Franks “If we are continually failing, in the implicit or explicit promises that we made to people, and we're not even measuring up to their low expectations for us, we might not ever get a chance to point them to the gospel.” – Danny Franks RECOMMENDED RESOURCES Unreasonable Hospitality: The Remarkable Power of Giving People More Than They Expect by Will Guidara All My Knotted-Up Life: A Memoir by Beth Moore Setting the Table: The Transforming Power of Hospitality in Business by Danny Meyer Inside the Magic Kingdom: Seven Keys to Disney's Success by Tom Connellan The Gospel Comes with a House Key: Practicing Radically Ordinary Hospitality in Our Post-Christian World by Rosaria Butterfield

Today's episode is part two of our Biblical Sexuality series where we talk all things identity. What is it, who determines it, how does sexuality play into it and what does the Bible say about it? Join Pastors Mike Cirricione, Brad Bell and Denny Burk as they push back against the idea that identity can determined outside of Christ.

Pride Month is everywhere, and it's difficult for Christians. We want to be Christ to people, so how do we share the love of the Gospel with those who are trapped in sexual sin? And what do we do about the pro-LGBTQ+ messaging of things like Disney's Lightyear? Should we shop at stores that support such an agenda? Bobby, Matt, and Rachel answer these and many other pressing questions in this episode of NorthWoods Church Matters podcast.

It may not be spring quite yet around here, but spring cleaning and purging is in the air for me and some of my friends. In this episode, my friend Stephanie Taylor shares about her family's journey into a minimalistic lifestyle over the past few years - going from an average-sized living space to one half as small! It's an adventure story you don't want to miss. One of my favorite quotes that anchored our chat is from author Joshua Becker, who defines minimalism as "the intentional promotion of things we most value and the removal of anything that distracts us from them." From tips to get started to finding your motivation to making hard lifestyle changes as a family, you'll find oodles of solid food for thought on living simply in this episode. I loved soaking up all the wisdom Stephanie has learned, especially how to avoid the many distractions from living a purposeful and peaceful life and how to model minimalist habits for our children. I hope you enjoy it too!

The Main Thing: As adoptive and foster parents (or prospective ones!) we are "in the midst" of it all the time. It's on our hearts, in our minds, part of our physical routine, and most of our practical day-to-day. But, do we know and understand the theological roots of adoption? For Episode 043, we're going there with Pastor Luke Le Duc. He's giving us an overview of "adoption" in the Old and New Testaments and sketching a landscape of what it means for our lives today. We had so many questions, thoughts, and ideas, and all three of us did our best to pack it into a 40-minute episode that we believe will challenge and encourage every listener. We've said it before, and we'll say it again. We like the "deep dives" over here at Two Adoptive Mamas, and our conversation with Luke falls right in line with that purpose!

Today, I'm chatting with my friend, Amy Wolfe, the Director of Development for Safe Families Wisconsin Chapter. When Amy and her family opened their home to two little girls in 2019, she had no idea that this decision would open her eyes to the opportunities we have as the body of Christ to be a blessing to our community. Safe Families for Children is a family preservation movement motivated by radical hospitality, disruptive generosity, and intentional compassion to keep children safe and families together. They bring church and community together mobilizing an army of volunteers to advocate for vulnerable children and socially isolated families. Their goal is to grow a national movement of change agents passionate about protecting children and preserving families in communities across the nation and the world.

One of the things I have enjoyed most in the last few years is meeting people from new cultures, whether that be when I am out travelling or when I am meeting my friends who have immigrated to Canada in my own community. The way they see life can be so different, and the stories they bring remind me that my way of doing life is not the only way. In this episode, I am talking to one of my dear friends who has dedicated her life to showing others Jesus and sharing the gospel cross-culturally in one form or another. It is a powerful episode about sharing the love of Christ with those who are moving across the globe right into our backyards, or at least next door. Lorraine answers questions like... What would you say is the difference between working with other cultures in their own context versus when they have immigrated (our own context)? What do you find are the highest needs of our immigrated neighbours and friends? What are some practical ways we can love and serve cross-culturally? Where would you like to see the “Big-C Church” step up to serve and do justice work with those who are of other cultures? Lorraine Taylor grew up in Edmonton, in a house that was not open to strangers at all. At one time there was barbed wire over the gate! When she came to Christ as a young lady, she longed to have a “House of Peace,” where anyone could come over. God granted that desire of her heart when she met Phil and together they began to live a life of hospitality and people poured into their open house. Lorraine has been married for 43 years and she has 4 children and 7 grandchildren. After College Lorraine worked with the C&MA for 25 years in India, Pakistan and Canada. Then they served with FamilyLife, Canada (a ministry of Power to Change) for 11 years leading their intercultural and international ministry. They now lead Connecting Streams intercultural ministry to newcomers to Canada and refugees.  Resources: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+25%3A34%E2%80%9340&version=ESV (Matthew 25:34–40) https://www.amazon.ca/Stranger-God-Meeting-Jesus-Disguise-ebook/dp/B0754H8J6W (Stranger God: Meeting Jesus in Disguise) by Richard Beck https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00PWOH5TS/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1 (Rich Christians in an Age of Hunger: Moving from Affluence to Generosity) by Ronald J.

Jonathan welcomes Rosaria Butterfield to Candid Conversations to discuss building up the church to live like the family of God to provide a powerful Christian witness to your neighbors.  Rosaria is a former tenured professor of English and women's studies at Syracuse University. She was converted to Christ in 1999 in what she describes as a train wreck. In her late twenties, allured by feminist philosophy and LGBT advocacy, she adopted a lesbian identity. Rosaria earned her PhD from Ohio State University, then served in the English department and women's studies program at Syracuse University from 1992 to 2002. Her primary academic field was critical theory, specializing in queer theory. Her historical focus was 19th-century literature, informed by Freud, Marx, and Darwin. She advised the LGBT student group, wrote Syracuse University's policy for same-sex couples, and actively lobbied for LGBT aims alongside her lesbian partner.In 1997, while Rosaria was researching the Religious Right “and their politics of hatred against people like me,” she wrote an article against the Promise Keepers. A response to that article triggered a meeting with Ken Smith, who became a resource on the Religious Right, their Bible, a confidant, and a friend. In 1999, after repeatedly reading the Bible in large chunks for her research, Rosaria converted to Christianity. Her first book, The Secret Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert, details her conversion and the cataclysmic fallout—in which she lost “everything but the dog,” yet gained eternal life in Christ.Rosaria's second book, Openness Unhindered: Further Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert on Sexual Identity and Union with Christ, addresses questions of sin, identity, and repentance that she often encounters during speaking engagements. In her third book, The Gospel Comes with a House Key: Practicing Radically Ordinary Hospitality in Our Post-Christian World, Rosaria explores how God used a humble couple's simple invitation to dinner to draw her—a radical, committed unbeliever—to himself. With this story of her conversion as a backdrop, she invites us into her home to show us how God can use this same “radical, ordinary hospitality” to bring the Gospel to our lost friends and neighbors. Rosaria is married to Kent, a Reformed Presbyterian pastor in North Carolina, and is a home school mother, author, and speaker.To ask Jonathan a question or connect with the Candid community, visit https://LTW.org/CandidFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/candidpodInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/candidpodTwitter: https://twitter.com/thecandidpod

How is Thanksgiving different from the black/white perspective? How can hospitality help us with diversity in fellowship? The suggested resource for this episode is the book "The Gospel Comes with a House Key: Practicing Radically Ordinary Hospitality in Our Post-Christian World" by Rosaria Butterfield.

Jonathan welcomes Rosaria Butterfield to Candid Conversations to discuss building up the church to live like the family of God to provide a powerful Christian witness to your neighbors.  Rosaria is a former tenured professor of English and women’s studies at Syracuse University. She was converted to Christ in 1999 in what she describes as a train wreck. In her late twenties, allured by feminist philosophy and LGBT advocacy, she adopted a lesbian identity. Rosaria earned her PhD from Ohio State University, then served in the English department and women's studies program at Syracuse University from 1992 to 2002. Her primary academic field was critical theory, specializing in queer theory. Her historical focus was 19th-century literature, informed by Freud, Marx, and Darwin. She advised the LGBT student group, wrote Syracuse University’s policy for same-sex couples, and actively lobbied for LGBT aims alongside her lesbian partner.In 1997, while Rosaria was researching the Religious Right “and their politics of hatred against people like me,” she wrote an article against the Promise Keepers. A response to that article triggered a meeting with Ken Smith, who became a resource on the Religious Right, their Bible, a confidant, and a friend. In 1999, after repeatedly reading the Bible in large chunks for her research, Rosaria converted to Christianity. Her first book, The Secret Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert, details her conversion and the cataclysmic fallout—in which she lost “everything but the dog,” yet gained eternal life in Christ.Rosaria’s second book, Openness Unhindered: Further Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert on Sexual Identity and Union with Christ, addresses questions of sin, identity, and repentance that she often encounters during speaking engagements. In her third book, The Gospel Comes with a House Key: Practicing Radically Ordinary Hospitality in Our Post-Christian World, Rosaria explores how God used a humble couple’s simple invitation to dinner to draw her—a radical, committed unbeliever—to himself. With this story of her conversion as a backdrop, she invites us into her home to show us how God can use this same “radical, ordinary hospitality” to bring the Gospel to our lost friends and neighbors. Rosaria is married to Kent, a Reformed Presbyterian pastor in North Carolina, and is a home school mother, author, and speaker.To ask Jonathan a question or connect with the Candid community, visit https://LTW.org/CandidFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/candidpodInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/candidpodTwitter: https://twitter.com/thecandidpod   

Today, I want to try and give you a picture of what going to church in the first century was like — what it looked and felt like, and how it embodied everything we've been talking about. But we have to start with a word or two about the phrase “going to church” and a few of the other phrases we use to talk about gathering together with other Christians — like “attending church” or referring to our gatherings as “services.” I find those terms inadequate and unhelpful, BECAUSE those terms fail to capture the intent of Christian assemblies AND what I think the earliest Christians experienced when they met. Ideas of attendance, ceremony, and even assembly just don't capture the spirit or purpose of early Christian gatherings. Early Christian gatherings were humble gatherings that edified Christians. They were small in scale, domestic in setting, rhetorically unpolished, ritually unimpressive, and mostly restricted to Christians. Their aim was not to impress the masses but rather to equip the Christians as individuals and communities to live their faith attractively. To this end, their gatherings fed them with spiritual food from the Word and reminded them of their Lord and King in the Lord's Supper. Those were things necessary to sustain them as they followed Jesus in a dangerous world. Join me today as we discuss: 1. House churches and households in the first century 2. What a typical household looked like in early Christianity and how the household functioned in society 3. The importance of hospitality in the world of the early church 4. How church structures encourage or discourage community and intimacy 5. The five kinds of gatherings in the ministry of Jesus 6. The five church models we see in 21st Century America 7. Why I am a fan of house churches 8. Practical reasons why I think house churches will become more common in the United States 9. How discipleship and ideology transfer happens best 10.The best book I've ever found that describes what it felt like to be part of a first century church 11.My three non-negotiables for what church has to look like to embody everything we've been talking about in this podcast _______________________ As always, we'd appreciate it if you'd tell others about the podcast.

What does “loving the stranger” mean? And how do we start a friendship with someone who seems so different from us? Today’s guest, Rosaria Butterfield, gives us the first step: practicing “radically ordinary hospitality.” Rosaria is an author, speaker, pastor’s wife, and homeschool mom in Durham, North Carolina. Her newest book The Gospel Comes with a Key tells how Rosaria and her husband Kent use their home as a mission field as they dine with guests every night, and how they’ve opened their not-really-a-spare-bedroom to house guests. Rosaria shares the struggle of becoming a bridge for hospitality, the crippling pain of loneliness, why she kept a man running meth lab in her neighborhood as her house guest, and her recipe for a hearty minestrone soup. ---------------------------------------------- Show Sponsor: Shipt: Grocery Delivery The Gospel Comes with a House Key: Practicing Radically Ordinary Hospitality in Our Post-Christian World by Rosaria Butterfield
