On this episode, our guest is Vance Martin, an amateur radio operator who goes under the callsign N3VEM. Martin became involved in rocketry as a kid in the typical way; seeing model rockets at the local hobby shop, and discovering the hobby with a friend.  As he moved into middle and high school, he discovered mid and high power rocketry through  online rocketry communities.  While in college he built a PML 1/4 Scale Patriot rocket to use for his Level One, but was unable to find a nearby club to certify, so his L1 rocket sat collecting dust over the years.    After college, Vance discovered ham radio, and earned his amateur radio callsign N3VEM, and built  a portable station in his vehicle so that he could play radio while being out and on the road for work.  As seems to be a pre-requisite for Ham Radio, Vance also became a software and hardware 'tinkerer', so for him, building radio-related projects turned out to be a lot of fun, and is still what he calls his 'primary hobby.' Vance became a Born-Again-Rocketeer about a year ago, when his two older kids found the Patriot rocket stashed in the corner of the family storage room.  They asked 'What is this!?!'  "...and just like that" says Vance " we started building up a fleet of little Estes kits."  Vance decided that it would be fun to combine the two hobbies, and start tinkering with radio and electronic payloads for their rockets. "I knew that 'off the shelf' stuff was available, but being a tinkerer, I wanted to build my own." he recalls.   He continues. "I wanted to target mid-power sized rockets with my projects, since I still live in the same town, and still don't have easy access to a club with a high-power launch site." Vance enjoys his hobbies, and is having fun, saying "I'm still very much a rocketry noob, but I'm having a blast dabbling around with building the rockets, and hacking around at hardware and software for the rockets' payloads." Vance's website is :  https://n3vem.com/blog/RadioRocketV2/

Vance Martin, N3VEM is here to talk about 3 big news items about Parks on the Air.

#126 - We've all felt the weight of ministry before - especially for those of us who have been leading through a global pandemic these past couple of years. It can be hard to be a leader, but it can also be incredibly fulfilling when we live into the calling Jesus has placed on us. In today's episode of the podcast, we sit down with our friend Vance Martin and discuss the “Work” vs. the “Weight” of ministry, and how we can work towards being Ephesians 4:11-12 leaders who equip our volunteers in order to build His Kingdom. We hope you enjoy episode 126 of the Lead Volunteers Podcast and share it with a ministry leader you know who may find this beneficial for their ministry context! If you would like to gain INSTANT access to the bank of resources mentioned in today's episode, check out leadministry.com and get started today! Follow us on Facebook and Instagram!

#104 – It's not easy being a ministry leader. We spend a lot of time casting vision and creating opportunities for people to connect with Jesus. However, in our pursuit of the vision, it is not uncommon to experience an unfortunate transformation of our heart. Things like bitterness, doubt, cynicism, and more creep in and begin to take over. In today's episode of the podcast, we sit down with our friend Vance Martin and discuss ways we can identify this transformation in ourselves, and ways we can combat it going forward. We hope you enjoy episode 104 of the Lead Volunteers Podcast and share it with a ministry leader you know who may find this beneficial for their ministry context!

#075 – The concept we're taking about in today's episode is the idea of “creating safety for some = growth for all.” It's easy when we're scheduling or recruiting volunteers to fall back on our faithful few who show up week in and week out - but what if instead of placing the weight of the ministry on their shoulders, we created a zone of safety around them that not only made them better volunteers, but created a culture and pathway of growth for others as well?

#074 – In our go, go, go culture, it can be difficult for us to press pause. The Navy Seals have a saying that “slow is smooth, and smooth is fast,” and when it comes to the ministry you lead, taking a second to slow down, press pause, and be present IN your ministry rather than constantly working ON your ministry can help give you the fresh eyes you need to see where you're at, where your volunteers are at, where your ministry as a whole is at, and what direction you might need to head.

#073 – What is your job as a ministry leader? Well, if you're the kids pastor, it's ministering to kids, right? If you're the youth pastor, it's youth. Small groups, small groups - you get the idea. But what if we told you that your job as a ministry leader was not as directly correlated as you think? On today's episode of the podcast, Josh and Vance discuss how time invested in volunteers can make a much bigger eternal impact than time invested directly into your ministry.

#072 – We've all heard it said before that “vision leaks,” right? At Lead Volunteers, we believe that short little phrase is not only true, but should motivate us as leaders to put extra time and attention into casting vision and leading our volunteers as we push the mission forward. Amen? Well, on today's episode of the podcast, Josh is sitting down virtually with our friend, Vance Martin, and they are discussing what might be the most significant pre-service strategy that your ministry can have, and it boils down to 3 simple letters - V.I.P.

#019 - Ministry is hard...but does it need to be? We've all experienced our own ministry scars, but Jesus assures us that the burden is light. How can this be? In this new season of the Lead Volunteers Podcast we are interviewing some of the ministry world's brightest minds and gaining wisdom from their real life ministry experiences. We hope you enjoy these conversations as much as we did.
