Episode 342 - Ditch Disappointment and Learn To Dream Again with Josh Gagnon

2/21/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
Josh Gagnon joins the podcast to talk about his life, family, ministry, and book titledIt's Not Over - Leaving Behind Disappointment and Learning To Dream Again. Jeff was listening to another podcast featuring Josh, and halfway through the episode he got up, opened his laptop, and ordered the book immediately. The message is one of deep hope and encouragement for discouraged pastors who may have lost their dream and their hope. 

It's Not Over will release on February 25, 2020, and in it Josh urges his readers to grab onto that dream that God placed in their heart and learn how to dream it again - just like you did a few years ago, before the resistance moved in, disappointment came, and failure smelled awful close!

This is a very encouraging and practical episode! Check out Josh's church at https://www.nextlevel.church.

http://www.fxng2020.org
This is a moment of hopeful opportunity for the Church in America.
Perhaps you feel the pain of a dwindling congregation or denomination.
Perhaps this makes you concerned for the future.
But we have evidence that God is at work future-fitting the church.
We see the unfolding of Present Future Church that is breathing life and hope into existing congregations and the neighborhoods and networks around them.

This gathering will reconnect you with hope for the Church
  • Hope for facing tomorrow's difficulties with 2,000 years of missionary experience
  • Hope from practitioners who have blended new and inherited forms of Church
  • Hope for how your church can address the complex social realities of the future

Episode 337 - Leadership Lessons For Pastors From An MK Turned International Missionary with Dave...

11/27/2019

0 Comments

 
Picture
In this Episode, Dave, an International Worker with the Christian & Missionary Alliance, shares lessons he's learned from a lifetime of ministry and missions, first as an MK, and now as a two-term veteran missionary to a creative access country.

Dave has learned lessons on church planting in the very hard places, cross cultural understanding and communication, how to tame cultural biases and reverse stubborn preconceived notions about the "other", and not a small amount about himself in the process.

Dave also gives a ton of counsel and encouragement to pastors in this conversation. He and Jeff sat down for this recording with no agenda and no time limit. Newly acquainted, they asked and answered questions from one another and explored each other's understandings about people, cultures, missions, and ministry.

Again, this episode is Jeff & Jonny's gift to you, pastors! Enjoy - and listen at least twice. You'll be glad you did.
