THEME: AFTER GOD'S OWN HEARTSPEAKER: MR. ANDY SELORM (AGCM PRESIDENT)

This episode wraps up the conversation between Tim, Joel, Judy, and Mulu. The Lintons describe the amazing Sundays their church family spends together, which run from the crack of dawn until the night. Their ministry is “organic,” focusing on making disciples of Jesus Christ who go beyond the superficial. The church in Yilan County, Taiwan is all about living life together, just like Bonhoeffer wrote about in Life Together. Along the way, they also talk about the ins and outs of worship music and the merciful discipline of children.The first part of this interview is here.

Joel and Judy Linton, missionaries and church planters in Yilan County, Taiwan, join Pastor Tim Bayly again. Their conversation will continue in the next episode.During this session, Joel, Judy, and Tim discuss the conversion and discipleship of a particular family that has become a central source of strength in the church plant in Yilan County (you'll hear from one of them directly during the podcast!). They also discuss the nature of language and how it shapes a people—preparing or hindering their understanding of Scripture, the necessity of discipleship (not merely conversion), and how a church should make decisions about age-specific ministries.

In this episode, Dudley and Jared explore the growing tension many believers feel with modern church culture, Church Leadership, and the structure of the Mega Church model. Through honest conversation and grounded biblical reflection, they challenge the corporate approach to ministry and revisit what the New Testament church — and the early House Church — was designed to be.Together, they unpack topics like Biblical Eldership, Shepherding, discipleship, and Tithing, while addressing why so many Christian Men are quietly leaving church despite remaining deeply committed to the gospel. Dudley and Jared explain that this isn't Deconstruction — it's hunger — and discuss the role of the Holy Spirit in equipping every believer for ministry, rather than limiting spiritual leadership to a select few.This conversation invites believers to rethink modern church systems through the lens of Scripture, calling the church back toward authentic community, shepherding, and Church Reform rooted in the gospel.We pray this message will encourage, challenge, and transform.As always, we invite you to share it with someone who needs it.  Get Dudley's Weekly Word delivered right to your inbox every Friday!

Our guest today, Fred Provenza, has spent his career listening to what animals can teach us: about landscapes, about food, about the deep intelligence woven into the living world.Fred is professor emeritus of Behavioral Ecology at Utah State University, where he directed an award-winning research program that pioneered our understanding of how early experience, family, and landscape shape the foraging wisdom of animals. He is the author of over 300 scientific papers and three books, including Nourishment: What Animals Can Teach Us About Rediscovering Our Nutritional Wisdom, Foraging Behavior: Managing to Survive in a World of Change, and The Art & Science of Shepherding, co-authored with French herder Michel Meuret.In this conversation, Fred draws on a lifetime of ranching, research, and wide-ranging inquiry, taking us from the pastures of Utah to the pre-alps of France. Together we reflect on what we've lost, what endures, and what it might mean to come home to a more intimate relationship with the land.In this episode, we dive into: His childhood in small town Colorado and how it cultivated a deep sense of community that has since largely vanished from American rural life Seven years working on Henry De Luca's ranch, and what that experience revealed about the irreplaceable knowledge embedded in intimate relationships with land and animals What the concept of epigenetics tells us about the deep, inherited intelligence of locally adapted herds The extended family lives of livestock, and what shepherds in France have long understood about nutritional wisdom, plant diversity, and the art of moving animals across a landscape What Buddhism, near-death experiences, and quantum physics have in common, and why Fred believes consciousness is our truest nature The local food economy as a web of interdependence. And much more…More about Fred:Fred Provenza is professor emeritus of Behavioral Ecology in the Department of Wildland Resources at Utah State University, where he directed the BEHAVE program — an international network of scientists, ranchers, farmers, and land managers integrating behavioral principles with local knowledge. His books include Nourishment, Foraging Behavior, and The Art & Science of Shepherding.

Every follower of Jesus has been given something — a spiritual gift that the church desperately needs. In Part 2 of our series on Word gifts, we explore three of the most misunderstood gifts in the body of Christ: Leadership, Shepherding, and Evangelism. What does kingdom leadership actually look like? Who carries the shepherd's assignment? And why does evangelism make so many church people uncomfortable? This message is an invitation to stop sitting on the sidelines and step into what the Spirit has entrusted to you.

The Resurrection -- Part 3: Jesus Gives Us His Great Commission Just Before His Ascension MESSAGE SUMMARY: Introduction from “The Resurrection -- Part 3: Jesus Gives Us His Great Commission Just Before His Ascension: At Jesus last appearance to His Eleven Disciples as a group and just before His Ascension, Jesus gives His Great Commission to us and to His Disciples. In Matthew 28:16-20, Jesus commissions or, indeed, commands us: “Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. And when they saw him they worshiped him, but some doubted. And Jesus came and said to them, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.'”. Jesus, in Matthew 28:16-20, has commissioned us and commanded us to: Go, Make Disciples, Baptize, and to Teach everything that he has taught us (e.g., the Bible, our walk with the Holy Spirit) to the “ends of the earth” (Acts 1:8). Remember again, that this commission and commandment (i.e. “as you go”) was the last thing that Jesus, as the Incarnate God-Man, told His Disciples and, therefore, us before His Ascension into Heaven to become solely God again. Because of the Resurrection and God's Grace, we have the opportunity for Salvation and Eternal Life; and God has given this opportunity to others next door and around the world, through us, if we Go, Make Disciples, Baptize, and Teach! Today' Message – Hearing God's Voice: In John 10:1-18, Jesus presents the picture of the Shephard and the Shepherd's relationship to His flock. Shepherding, in the First Century, was an intense and demanding occupation with the need for the Shepherd to lead and communicate with His sheep and to prevent “false shepherds” from stealing sheep. In communicating with His sheep, the sheep learn and listen for the Shepherd's voice which protects the sheep from “false shepherds”. Jesus tells us, in John 10:7-11, that He is the Shepherd and only through and with Jesus can we enter into the Gate, which is our Salvation and Eternal Life:' So Jesus again said to them, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.'”. Jesus tells us that the sheep will hear His voice; therefore, if we are followers of Jesus, we should hear Jesus voice – we are all called to be Jesus' sheep. How do we know the voice of Jesus our Good Shepherd? To hear and know Jesus' voice, we need to consider: 1) we must “enter through the Gate” – the “Gate” is only Jesus; 2) we must be a sheep (i.e. must be saved and have a personal relationship with Jesus) of the Good Shepherd to hear and distinguish His voice from the “false shepherds”; 3) we must learn to listen – God's voice can present to us in many ways, especially through the Holy Spirit – the Holy Spirit gives us an insight into the mind of God and puts our mind in sync with God; 4) the voice of Satan is discernable from the voice and message of Jesus; and 5) we must obey the Lord as we listen – in the New Testament, the words “hear” and “obey” are the same; and God wants to guide and direct us. Ultimately, God tells us: “Be still and know that I am God.”. He is Risen, and He is alive today!   TODAY'S PRAYER: Keeping the Sabbath, Lord, will require a lot of changes in the way I am living life. Teach me, Lord, how to take the next step with this in a way that fits my unique personality and situation. Help me to trust you with all that will remain unfinished and to enjoy my humble place in your very large world. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 129). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that because of what God has done for me in His Son, Jesus, I AM RIGHTEOUS IN GOD'S EYES. God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God. 2 Corinthians 5:21 SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): Matthew 28:16-20; John 21:1-14; Acts 1:8; John 3:3-8; John 10:1-27; Ezekiel 34:22-24,31; Psalms 23:1-6; John 5:25; Ezekiel 1:28; Ezekiel 43:2; 1 Kings 19:12; Isiah 30:21; Ephesians 1:17-18; Hebrews 3:7.

What role does mental health play in ministry, and how can we create safe spaces for open conversations grounded in faith? On this episode of Student Ministry Connection, Steve talks to student ministry veteran and author of Shepherds of the Mind, Tomy Cummins, about mental health. Tomy shares how a wave of students taking their lives pushed him toward training and building a ministry culture where it's safe to talk about depression and anxiety, seek help, and involve others when someone is unsafe. He recounts his own journey and explains how Ezekiel 34:4 frames his approach to shepherding. In addition to sharing what not to do, but Tomy points to Jesus as the model of grace and truth. Join Steve and Tomy as they discuss the need for student ministry pastors to seek community, reject isolation, and take the next right step toward better care for themselves and their students.    Links referenced in this episode:  Connect more with Tomy at https://tomycummins.com  Learn more about Shepherds of the Mind and find more resources at https://shepherdsofthemind.com  Get a copy of Shepherds of the Mind - https://amzn.to/4eUukZY Find your next speaker at The Speaker Hub - https://youthminhub.com/speakerhub  Learn more about Steve's ministry with NNYM - https://nnym.org/stevecullum  Sign up to get Steve's newsletter - https://bit.ly/cullumnewsletter  Support the ministry by giving online - https://bit.ly/cullumsupport  Contact Steve about partnerships, speaking, coaching, or consulting - https://bit.ly/cullumcontact  Follow Student Ministry Connection on Instagram - https://instagram.com/studentministryconnection  Read Steve's blog - https://stevecullum.com  Follow Steve on Twitter - https://twitter.com/stevecullum  Follow Steve on Instagram - https://instagram.com/stevecullum  Follow Steve on Facebook - https://facebook.com/stevecullum    Be sure to join us in prayer for revival every Wednesday at 11am PT, 12pm MT, 1pm CT, 2pm ET.    Get a copy of the Cards Christians Like card game by using the link https://bit.ly/cardschristianslike and also support Student Ministry Connection.    Looking for student ministry resources?

Proclaim 2026 | Building The Church Through Shepherding | Pr. Sarah Mukisa

Faithful shepherding in a digital age begins when parents recognize how technology both reveals and shapes the desires of the heart. Devices do not create our problems—they expose what is already ruling us—making wise, intentional discipleship in the home essential. As screens influence identity, relationships, attention, and worship, parents must move beyond managing behavior to shepherding hearts, helping their children interpret life biblically and follow Christ in a world that is constantly discipling them in a different direction.

In an age where sermons can circle the globe in seconds, pastors are called to balance unprecedented digital reach with their primary role as shepherds of a local flock. The (digital) shepherd challenges church leaders to use technology intentionally and relationally-extending care online without neglecting the embodied, personal ministry modeled by Christ.

Is Europe a graveyard for the Gospel, or fruitful soil for its future?In today's episode of The Walk, Dr. John Snyder sits down with Mike Tilley of ICC Eurasia for a deep-dive on the shifting spiritual landscape of the European continent. For decades, the narrative has been one of decline—a “post-Christian” museum of empty cathedrals. But from his vantage point, Mike sees something else entirely: a second wind of the Holy Spirit moving through cultural crossroads that most leaders have overlooked.This conversation moves beyond anecdotal success stories, providing a real-life, strategic look at how the Gospel is taking root in secular soil. Mike shares his journey from a secular upbringing to shepherding pastors across Eurasia, offering practical advice on how to lead with confidence when tradition is no longer the tailwind. Whether you are a corporate leader or a local pastor, this episode is a guide to prioritizing relationship over religion in the world's most influential crossroads.

In this episode, we speak with Karen Isble—Vice President for College Advancement at Kalamazoo College. Karen previously served as Associate Vice Chancellor and Campaign Director at the University of California, Irvine, where she helped lead the university's $2 billion Brilliant Future campaign. Before that, she held senior leadership roles at the University of Michigan, contributing to the university's $5 billion+ Victors for Michigan campaign. She began her career in arts administration, with roles at the Chamber Music Society of Detroit, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and the Goodman Theatre—and today serves as chair of the board of the Kalamazoo Symphony Orchestra. A former president of Apra, Karen has been a national voice in advancement for many years. We begin our conversation with a glimpse of where it all started—how her talking and singing as a child earned her the nickname “Radio” within the family, hinting early on at a life shaped by music and communication.

In this brief episode, Kerry and Becky are responding to a question from a church member about “shepherding couples.”  Are "shepherding couples" biblical?

We finish up the shepherding movement

Segment 1 • Todd sits down with Dr. Ted Tripp, author of “Shepherding a Child's Heart”. • Are parents confusing a child's ability to use tech with actual readiness to handle it? • Porn, smartphones, and distraction—there is a veritable minefield out there for the next generation. Segment 2 • Why are Christian kids walking away—and is disengaged parenting the real root issue? • Influence and intentionality in our children's lives doesn't just happen—it takes real effort. • Identity crises, online affirmation, and peer pressure—are your kids being discipled more by screens than you? Segment 3 • That our kids should own and use a cellphone shouldn't be taken as a given. • Influence vs. authority: which one actually keeps your teenager from rebelling? • It may not be the case that every child has to go through a rebellious phase. Segment 4 • It's never too late for parents to reach their children—even those parents who feel like they've failed. • Are you giving your kids behavior control… or actually shepherding their hearts? • When everything feels lost, your hope must be not in your own parenting power—but in the power of the gospel. ___ Thanks for listening!
