    Ep. 180 – Heroes of Missions Pt. 1
    Jul 23 2024
    Hey, Kingdom Family! In this week's episode, Leif and Paul share about three eras of modern missions. From the Apostle Paul, Gutenberg, and Martin Luther to David Livingstone and Joshua Project, modern missions have changed significantly over the last centuries. The individuals we consider heroes of missions demonstrate what faith looks like and how it operates in far-reaching and dangerous places. Many of these people learned local languages, promoted social reform, and were all willing to fully surrender their lives to Jesus to see nations transformed. The first era (1792-1864) is known as the era of the coastlands. Leif and Paul discuss William Carey and his impact in Calcutta, India, after 41 years of service. Gifted in linguistics, Carey translated the Bible into seven languages and was passionate about advocating social reform. Carey famously said, "Expect great things from God and attempt great things for God." The second era (1865-1980) concentrated on nations' interiors. Leif and Paul discuss David Livingstone's mission exploits in Africa and Hudson Taylor in China inland. Livingstone's impact and contribution are far outside the scope of missions. He was a well-known explorer who paved new pathways in jungles and a respected scientific investigator. Hudson Taylor, through his mission China Inland Mission, equipped 800 missionaries to establish 125 schools throughout China, which resulted in 20,000 Christian conversions. He translated the bible as well. The third era (1981-2000) emphasized reaching every people group. Church denominations focused on educating believers to reach all people with the Gospel. Some well-known organizations included Joshua Project and the Eighty-Two Thousand Movement. Large mission movements shared a vision to give the gospel to every person and to establish a church among every people group. Some of the blessings of the three eras include the availability of the Bible in most languages and the prayer and intercession movements spurred by the advancement of new technologies over the centuries.

  • Ep. 179 – Heroes of Faith

    Ep. 179 – Heroes of Faith
    Jul 10 2024
    Welcome, Kingdom Family! This week, we're introducing a new series called "Heroes of Harvest." In this episode, Leif and Paul discuss the heroes of the faith outlined in Hebrews 11. These were people who lived by faith, living full and dying empty, giving all they had to build God's Kingdom on earth. We are invited to honor the price paid by those who have gone before us. We can honor their lives, obedience, and sacrifices to the living God. As a result, lives were saved, and nations were transformed. Be blessed!

    Ep. 178 – The Cost and Reward of Obedience
    Jun 25 2024
    Hey Kingdom Family! In today's episode, my spiritual son Paul Yadao and I discuss the cost of obedience and share our personal stories about Friday moments when we thought all was lost. We share how to navigate the waiting period before Sunday when resurrection life comes! Taking up the cross and following Jesus is not always easy, especially today. So, if you are hungry for more and want to be with Jesus, become like Jesus, and eventually do what Jesus did, I believe living a cross-shaped life is for you. I encourage you to listen and also share this message with someone! Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss another episode.

    Ep. 177 – My Part In His Plan
    Jun 11 2024
    You have an important part to play in God’s great plan! During Pentecost, the purpose of the baptism of the Holy Spirit was to initiate a “Holy go!” Acts 1:8 says, “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, an in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” We are all invited to be Jesus witnesses. It doesn’t matter if you are a doctor, school teacher, engineer, housewife, or teenager. You are on a mission with God and you are called to finish the task. Learn more about finishing the task and Global Mission Awareness here.

    Ep. 176 – The Unfinished Task Pt. 2
    May 29 2024
    Hey Kingdom Family! I invite you to join me and my spiritual son, Paul Yadao, in Part 2 of the podcast "The Unfinished Task." We hear Jesus' clear invitation to go to places and cities where we will re-present Him to bring the Kingdom of God, and we see Him move in and through us. We also share how hospitality is a weapon of warfare and a key to finishing the unfinished task.

    Ep. 175 – The Unfinished Task pt. 1
    May 21 2024
    As part of this series on fulfilling the great commission and doing it with a great commandment heart, the big question is, “What is the one thing that has stopped us from fulfilling what is His last command that should be our first priority?” And that is to take the Gospel to every nation and to be able to see a community among every ethnic group in the world so that Jesus can come back. I have said it many times, it is a heart issue. I believe the biggest reason is that we have been distracted and the enemy has distracted us from making the main thing the main thing. Part of where our treasure is also where our heart is and we can see an indicator. So the reason there is a lot of darkness is because of a lack of light. And we spend only fifty cents out of every hundred dollars that is given to missions to invest light into the darkest places in the world, including the Middle East. What would it look like if the unfinished task became a higher priority so Jesus is glorified? Only then will we be able to see the very thing that is the heart of the Father— that every single person will experience how good God is and how loved they are because they will have an encounter with a god that looks like Jesus.
