Today I am talking to a special guest, Annabelle Vaughn, who watched her father get dragged from the front door of their rural Tennessee home four years ago, for the “crime” of conspiracy to protect the unborn. Paul Vaugn, who was interviewed a couple of times on Crosspolitic, was one of the Nashville 11 who was later arrested for helping the others who committed the “crime” of peacefully blocking the entrance to a (now closed) abortion clinic while praying & singing hymns. (BTW, I interviewed four of the Nashville 11 in July of 2024 just BEFORE their sentencing in Nashville, and you can find those episodes in the podcast archives.) As you listen, think of how you might better pray both for the persecuted, as well as the families who are often forgotten, yet also suffer in many ways. . .

⚡DOWNLOAD FREE E-BOOK: 8 Marks of Emotionally Healthy Preaching & Teaching - https://www.emotionallyhealthy.org/preaching/ In this episode, I invite you to rediscover an ancient path of powerful preaching and teaching — one that's been largely lost in the modern church. We're not talking about TED-style talks, clever soundbites, or performance-driven content. We're talking about preaching birthed out of deep, slow formation in Jesus. The kind of teaching that carries weight because it has been lived. This episode explores the story behind the phrase “monks in the pulpit” — how early church leaders, shaped by the deserts of Egypt and the rhythms of monastic life, became the world's most transformative preachers. We'll trace their journey, unpack 8 core practices of Emotionally Healthy Preaching, and reflect on what it means to teach from being, not just knowledge. If you're a pastor, teacher, or spiritual leader of any kind, I want to challenge you: the most urgent work you can do is not just preparing sermons — it's preparing your soul. Slow down. Be with God. Then preach.

Show Notes:In this thoughtful episode of The Human Experience, host Jennifer Peterkin visits John (Jonathan Heaslet) at his North Carolina home to reflect on a remarkable life of service, transformation, and storytelling. John shares his early years growing up near San Francisco, his studies in mathematics and economics, and his first career as a health economist before answering the call to ministry. He recounts candid experiences from serving as a pastor in rural Ohio—including supporting an AIDS patient at a time of deep stigma and navigating the complex truths within Amish communities. The conversation explores themes of vulnerability, empathy, inclusion, and the challenge of fostering change in diverse American communities. Now retired, John reflects on his transition into writing and creative pursuits, bringing the same compassion and curiosity that guided his ministry into his fiction. ⚠️ Content Warning: This episode contains discussions of illness, community exclusion, and sensitive cultural topics. Listener discretion is advised. Key Takeaways:● Vulnerability and courage are central to authentic storytelling.● John’s personal journey spans health economics, military service, and pastoral ministry.● Rural and urban communities offer stark cultural contrasts that shape ministry and daily life.● Ministry required navigating inclusion, compassion, and difficult truths.● He shares experiences supporting marginalized individuals, including an AIDS patient.● Religious and societal systems impact personal safety, autonomy, and belonging.● Secrets within communities can carry heavy consequences, both individually and collectively.● Empathy and community resilience are vital in creating more inclusive spaces.● Retirement opened a new chapter for John—writing fiction inspired by lived experiences. Interview recorded in Charlotte, NC. Jonathan Heaslet’s Bio:Jonathan (John) Heaslet is a retired Army Captain, health economist, and ordained minister. In retirement, he has turned to writing fiction, publishing two novels: EAST OF APPLE GLEN (2023) and HAWKS NEST CHRONICLES — GOOD NEWS FROM OSCEOLA, IOWA. Drawing from a life of service, faith, and curiosity, John’s writing continues his lifelong commitment to storytelling, empathy, and reflection. He lives in North Carolina with his wife, Linda.

October is Pastor Appreciation Month, and in this episode, we sit down with Pastor Tom Rempel to pull back the curtain on life in ministry. With decades of experience shepherding congregations, Tom shares candidly about the joys and challenges that come with being a pastor—and the impact those realities can have not only on the pastor but also on their family. He speaks to the unique weight of carrying others' burdens, the pressure of constant availability, and how ministry life shapes rhythms of rest, marriage, and family.Along the way, Pastor Tom also offers listeners a thoughtful perspective on what it looks like to truly support and encourage those who serve in the local church. From practicing patience and grace, to respecting boundaries, to remembering that pastors are people who need encouragement too, Tom provides both honesty and hope. Whether you've been in the pews for decades or are new to church life, this conversation is a valuable reminder of the humanity behind the pulpit and how we can walk alongside our leaders with love and understanding.

In this episode of Knowledgecast, Jack has a conversation with Tim Cash, lead pastor of The Cross Church in Loganville, GA. Before stepping into ministry, Tim spent years as a professional baseball player with the Houston Astros and LA Dodgers, followed by over two decades discipling athletes and leaders through Unlimited Potential, Inc.Tim shares stories from the ballfield—striking out Bo Jackson, dropping the ball on his very first pitch—and how those moments became metaphors for life. He reflects on mentoring figures like John Smoltz, Terry Pendleton, and Jeff Foxworthy, and why he ultimately left sports ministry to shepherd a local church.Together, Jack and Tim explore the four questions that shape every worldview (origin, meaning, morality, destiny), the four longings of the human heart (love, acceptance, worth, and significance/security), and the dangers of comparison in leadership. Tim reminds us that “we were born originals—don't die a copy.” This is a powerful conversation on identity, calling, and why true success isn't measured by applause, but by character and faith.

Last but not least, to learn more about our ministry endeavors or get one of my missionary biographies, visit PrayGiveGo.us! Why did I begin the Prison Pulpit series? The goal is to remind everyone to pray for persecuted believers as Hebrews 13:3 teaches us to do (“Remember those in prison, as bound with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body.”). I’ve done this by sharing imprisoned Pastor Wang Yi’s writings in China, as well as anecdotes from other persecuted ministers who have gone before, such as Richard Wurmbrand.

Visible Wounds (Blessing in the Torture) From Wurmbrand’s book, Sermons in Solitary Confinement… https://richardwurmbrandfoundation.com/pdfs/ssc-english.pdf School Bus Rollover Accident This was in Minco, OK, just 3 miles from where my daughter and I almost died in an accident last March! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZAs1YfT_hc Bee Attack in the Jungle of Peru Please stop and pray. While our intern was cutting the lawn, he hit a bees’ nest. They swarmed into the cage where Sasha and her puppies were. In trying to protect her pups, Sasha was stung too many times, and is already gone We were all stung trying to rescue them, but especially Buddy. The puppies are crying, covered in stingers, and now left without their mother. It’s such a heartbreaking situation—please pray for God’s mercy, comfort, and wisdom as we walk through this. (Buddy Fitzgerald Family in Puerto Maldonado) https://www.facebook.com/buddynloren.fitzgerald Also, the prayer requests I made last week are still ongoing… Pray for Brother Daniel (Courney) who has been deported from Nepal. Last I heard, his wife and youngest are still waiting for paperwork for their flight to the USA. Pray for our Missionary Friends in China (lost job, flooding, electrical issues, children, etc) I rarely mention money, but you can give to help the missionary friends I just mentioned by scrolling down to the link on our ministry website, PrayforChina.us.
