FrontStage BackStage with Jason Daye - Healthy Leadership for Life and Ministry
How can we overcome our fears of not being enough, of falling short, of losing face? In this week's conversation on FrontStage BackStage, host Jason Daye is joined by Ken Shigematsu. Ken is the senior pastor of Tenth Church in Vancouver, one of the largest and most diverse city-center churches in all of Canada. Ken is an international best-selling author, and his latest book is entitled Now I Become Myself.

Total darkness in the middle of the day, rocks splitting, graves opening, the curtain in the temple torn in two - what does it all mean? In this Good Friday message, Darrell teaches from Matthew 27 on Jesus' death. He explains how we can read all of this as a response to Jesus' cry from the cross: “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” that is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”(46). As we work through this passage, we come to see that Jesus suffers this abandonment in our place. Instead, the cry we hear from the cross is “Come - just as you are”. We find that the curtain has been torn and we sinners can press in to the presence of the Holy One through His sacrifice. Hallelujah!

Pastor Ken Shigematsu, senior pastor of Tenth Church in British Columbia, and author of multiple books, including “God in my Everything,” “Survival Guide for the Soul,” and “Now I Become Myself.”Pastor Shigematsu joins us to explore how our busy schedules affect our walk with God, and how we can form our lives in a way that centers on our faith, not our schedule.
In solitude, we not only encounter ourselves and who we are before God, we also encounter the voices of others. We can be met with fear, regret, and external voices that may be challenging to distinguish from God or ourselves. Is this why solitude can be so challenging? How can we tell the difference between God's voice and the voice of the enemy? Why does solitude and silence facilitate this encounter with our enemies? In this conversation, John Mark Comer interviews Ken Shigematsu. Ken is the senior pastor of Tenth Church in Vancouver, BC, one of the largest and most diverse city-center churches in Canada. He is a recipient of the Queen Elizabeth Diamond Jubilee Medal awarded to Canadians in recognition for their outstanding contribution to the country. Before entering pastoral ministry, he worked for the Sony Corporation in Tokyo. Ken is the author of the award-winning bestsellers God in My Everything and Survival Guide for the Soul, and his recently released book (May 2023) Now I Become Myself.

Into a revolving door of senior pastors, Ken Shigematsu arrived to lead a struggling community in Vancouver, BC by the name of Tenth Church in 1996. After over two decades, Ken is still at the helm, having led Tenth to become one of the largest and most diverse city centre churches in Canada. But you'll notice, Ken doesn't exude an ambitious, pioneering spirit that you might attach to a story like that. He's more of a soft-spoken, thoughtful contemplative who is seeking to see the Kingdom come in and through his life. In this conversation, Jason and Ken chat largely about themes from his new book Now I Become Myself - touching on emotions that can be destructive for pastors like envy and shame. We hope this conversation gives you a vision for how Jesus wants to meet you in and beyond those very feelings.

with guest Patrick Elaschuk.Why is it that the best conversations happen around a meal? At one time or another, we've all (hopefully) been warmly welcomed into a home to not only eat great food, but also have a good chat—and join in community. But for immigrants and refugees who have just arrived in Canada, finding community and much needed support through relationships is no easy task. Being the “new neighbour” is really hard.Patrick Elaschuk, the Global Pastor at Tenth Church in Vancouver, shares about the mutual transformation that is taking place by newcomers and Canadians simply getting together in living rooms and around kitchen tables. He shares the impacts of meeting in homes, parks, and other common spaces rather than just in the church's building, and how both newcomers and Canadians—despite their differences—are enjoying new friendships and experiencing belonging in incredibly richways. So often, good food and a good chat is all the support a newcomer needs.Recommended Resources:Tenth Ave Church - Global ministriesEpisode hosted by Shelaine.
“Ken, if the ship sinks now, everyone will blame you.” It wasn't the ideal pep talk for a pastor in his first few days on the job, especially at a church that had gone through 20 pastors in 20 years. But when someone spoke those words to Ken Shigematsu, he stuck it out. 25 years later, he's still leading Tenth Church in Vancouver, Canada. Steve Carter asks about his sermon prep process, and Ken explains how a tidbit from preaching legend Haddon Robinson transformed his method from anxiety-laden to prayerful一from crammed to creative. Ken shares why he's thankful for his Japanese heritage, and how he's learned to surrender outcomes to God through Father Thomas Keating's “The Welcoming Prayer,” and practicing sabbath. He also uses an app called Centering Prayer that pings him throughout the day, reminding him to receive from God, not just achieve for God.

A former RCMP officer, Zak Koftinoff is a Canadian expat now residing in Cambodia. He was driven to a career with the RCMP after witnessing a bank robbery at the age of 10. His career as police officer left him scarred and subsequently embattled with PTSD and various addictions. Through a series of events, he came to faith at Tenth Church - an inner city community in Vancouver BC, Canada. After leaving the force and through many journeys, he was called to pursue a life in Cambodia advocating for the vulnerable and trafficked. His current role with Extreme Love is overseeing a small team of young Cambodians who seek to intercept victims of human trafficking after they have been taken/sold from their families - but before they end up in exploitation. The compelling work of Extreme Love is replete with both heartbreak and hope. Zak's testimonial both inspires and prompts a search for the deeper questions of purpose within our own lives. Join us as Zak transparently shares his journey of life and the incredible work that Extreme Love is facilitating in the country of Cambodia. Your own perspective and priorities may well be set on a new course. https://www.extremelove.com

5 Leadership Questions Podcast on Church Leadership with Todd Adkins
In this episode of the 5 Leadership Questions podcast, Todd Adkins and Daniel Im are joined by Ken Shigematsu, Senior Pastor of Tenth Church in Vancouver, BC, and author of God in My Everything and Survival Guide for the Soul. During their conversation, they discuss how meditation can make us more compassionate and his rule of life. BEST QUOTES "A lot of us who believe in God would say 'I believe God loves me,' but we often still function as though our true value is determined by what we do and how others view us.""It's been interesting to learn about how spiritual practice connects with neuroscience and the way we actually experience life.""After the 15 to 20 minutes of meditation is up I feel a bit more relaxed and throughout the day I feel more focused and aware of the presence of Jesus in my life.""When we take time for the care of our soul to connect with God to receive from Him, it's not a selfish thing, it means we have more to offer to the people around us.""Of course we want to grow in size, but the most important thing is to determine what is in God's mind and heart and to live that out.""Our commitment to serve the poor has invited the Spirit's presence to be more richly present.""When we engage in a simple thanksgiving exercise, it will start to seem like more good things are coming into our lives even though that may not be objectively true.""It's not just about surviving, it's about really thriving.""If you are working in a factory, then the hours that you put in will directly correlate with your production, but if you are working in a world that requires presence or wisdom, then after you work a certain amount of hours, your presence will drop off."
