Episode 34 Europe is Ready - Equipping young leaders in Europe Sep 28, 2022

Show notes

Today we are going to talk about Europe. So much about Europe, we can relate to here in the US. Many in Europe are discouraged and feel cynical about the future. As freedoms of speech and religion have become more limited, anger towards government figures grows. Distrust is high in politicians and their effectiveness to solve the issues that plague their countries. Europe is in desperate need of a spiritual revival because the only one who can lift the weight of hopelessness and despondency from Europe's shoulders is Christ.
That disciple-making process was so clearly role modeled and taught to us by Christ himself. He asked his disciples to see for themselves, then to believe and to follow him. And then of course we get very clear instruction 5 times as Jesus gives his final command to go and make disciples.

And that is exactly what Josiah's venture is doing in walking with young people through the process of disciple-making, challenging them to take the next step in the journey from unbelief to spiritual maturity.

And with me today is Kelly Hargan, Director of Josiah Venture, US I had the privilege of working with Kelly in Czech Republic back in 2019. I left so encouraged by their heart for youth. I saw Josiah Venture boldly standing on the front lines of ministry in a spiritually dark place. I saw lives bein
g transformed.

With nearly 4.7 million people in the Valley, many of whom are unchurched, we will not accomplish this goal alone. We will need MORE THAN US.

Episode 32 Every Child Has a Church - Stadia Church Planting Sep 14, 2022

Show notes

The right relationships and resources make all the difference in helping people experience the hope of Jesus. And getting started is simple. Starting a church is one of the most fulfilling – and difficult! – things you will ever do. But did you know that 66% of new churches don’t make it to full self-sufficiency within 4 years? Though the stats are daunting, with prayer, wise counsel, and some reflection, we can understand who God created us to be, what God created us to be doing, and what our current assignment is. Today we will talk with Brent Foulke.
Brent Foulke serves as Vice president for global with Stadia. He’s been in ministry for 30 years he has been a lead pastor and I know he has a pastor's heart. He has been in church planting for 22 years since planting his home church in Albany, NY, and helping with many other church plants. Brent and his wife Kay live in Upstate NY, their two sons and their wives are in ministry in PA and IN. They have two daughters in college.

Episode 31 CCV Ireland Church Plant - Pastor Dermot O'Mahony Sep 07, 2022

Show notes

Today’s episode is with Dermot O’Mahony who is talking about Elevate church that he leads in Limerick, Ireland. I met Dermot many years ago when he came to CCV just looking to learn how to start a church. He came on board CCV's sports ministry as an intern and his journey began. Now a successful Lead Pastor in his hometown, Limerick, Ireland. Dermot explains that his church is a group of people who believe life is an adventure. He talks about the church is not about mere religion or a specific denomination, but they are about introducing people to the adventure that a life with Christ can bring, and then challenging and encouraging them to live a life of significance. Dermot wants Elevate to be an Irish church that is known for its service to you and the city of Limerick and he does not want to be a church that talks the talk, but a church that serves people. And that is exactly what they are doing. Elevate is made up of dozens of volunteers, reaching people each week with the good news of Jesus.

Episode 28 DIGNITY THROUGH EMPOWERMENT - THERE IS GOOD IN EVERYONE Aug 17, 2022

Show notes

Today we speak with Terry Kovach, Transitional Services Director at New Freedom.

NEW FREEDOM provides critical human services that protect the community and inspire dignity by empowering the innate goodness in every human being. They have found that those who come to New Freedom are quick to say it feels like home. When new member first enters, they are greeted with friendly faces and welcomes. There is no judgment and no size-ups like in jails and prison yards – because the people who come to New Freedom want to live a different lifestyle.
On the first day of arrival, a new member receives a key to their room. Next, a peer mentor escorts them to their team with which they program and live together for the next 90 days.

This is a 90-day program that provides for every basic need. At New Freedom, members are given the tools needed to uncover inner peace, remember their dreams, and begin executing strategic plans for their futures.
