“[Mentoring] is not getting [others] to do what you want them to do or what you can even maybe see them doing. It’s to help them pursue what they want to for God.”
The mentor/mentee relationship is shown in many places throughout God’s Word. It’s seen in relationships like that of Paul and Timothy, for example. This pattern of teaching and training is important for God’s people in order to keep the Word thriving in an area. So what are some effective ways to teach and train? What are some challenges that come up in teaching and training the next generation? What are some things that young people have to offer as we all live together in this Body of Christ? Join Adam Barlow and Rev. Bill Greene as they explore these topics and more. Both speak from personal experiences and their own time together as mentor and mentee. Want to gain insight into effective ways to teach and train? Tune in!

“Including God in that artistic process is realizing what you want to communicate and what you want to represent within your work. It has to come from such an authentic place that you know that your light is flowing from you to the painting.”

“I have spent less time playing video games than I used to, now that I’m putting God first. But I’m keeping Him first, and I’m keeping Him involved even in my thoughts and in my time as I game, and I’m having more fun, despite spending less time on this thing. So whatever it is that we’re doing, doing it with God will always get us more.”
Do you have hobbies that are important to you? Do you want to pursue these passions while still keeping God first in your life? Listen to this podcast with Hunter Mullins and minister Daniel Stoller, who are both avid video gamers, as they talk about the practical side of how to balance keeping God first and pursuing your hobbies.

“I had to work in how I could find the time [to exercise] and realize that if I gave the time to take care of myself, I’d have more to give. I would have the Word in my heart, I could pray, I could do so many things while I exercised, and then I was a better person because I had more to give.”
In this episode, Lauren Boner interviews two individuals with a great passion for health and fitness, and who give their all for God as they steward their physical bodies. Terri Rath is a seasoned personal trainer and running coach with over twenty-six years of expertise. She has achieved nine world records in running and fourteen American Masters track and field records. And Steele Bergman is a minister with an avid love for God’s Word and for pushing himself as a runner. At the time of this recording, he has run five full marathons, four half marathons, and participated in a two-day, two-hundred-mile relay race called a “Ragnar.” Listen in as these two share their stories on how they grew in health and fitness, and what God’s Word says about the subject.

“If you just study joy and rejoicing in the Word, you’re going to see that that’s God’s desire for us, right now. It’s ‘rejoice evermore,’ not ‘be miserable and somber always.’ This is what God wants for us, and a part of that is humor. It’s a great aspect of life that people might be missing out on because of an overreaction of fear.”
Have you ever felt like there are misconceptions about Christianity when it comes to humor? Should or can Christians be funny? Are boundaries on Christian humor too strict in society? When does a joke go too far? Enjoy this interview with Christian minister and stand-up comedian Randy Komi, along with ministers Denny Caldwell and Taylor Thurlow, as they discuss the purpose of humor and what God’s Word really says about utilizing it.

“Something that I really admire about Isaac is that he can express what he’s gone through, through music and his lyricism....Having the conversation not only gives a way for the solution to be said, but also helps just bring us together, because we’re going through a lot of similar things.”
