The global Church gathered together for eternity is such a great reality that we have to look forward to!”

In this episode, Hunter chats with Susan Hunt about the local church! Susan bleeds ecclesiology, or the theology of the church. One thing she shares, “The church is the people of God in all times and in all places! We’re those who were chosen in Christ in eternity past! We’re being redeemed, adopted, and sanctified in him!”

What’s the purpose of stewarding our gifts for the glory of God?

In this episode, Hunter chats with Mary Willson about women’s roles in the church. We pray this conversation will serve as a catalyst to dig into the Word and to pursue further dialogue with women in your own local churches. Ultimately, our hope is that you’ll walk away encouraged to joyfully celebrate the importance God has placed on women’s roles in the body.

Engaging both the heart and mind, she loves to teach the truth of Scripture, empowering believers to experience abundant life with Jesus!

In this episode, Hunter chats with Trillia Newbell on the mission of the church. They talk about everything from how we see the ancient church fulfilling the mission they were given by Jesus to go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit and teaching them to observe all that Jesus commanded, to how we are united with them in that very same mission today. We pray this episode aids your understanding of what we have been called to as Christ followers, to go into the world by the power of the Spirit with the goal of making disciples by proclaiming the gospel for the glory of God and for the good of the world.
