Summer is here! With our guest, Kaitlyn Parker, we explore the beauty of the summer season and let you in on what summer looks like at our church; especially for our staff. Summer tends to be a season of exciting activities, rest, vacation, and preparation, but here in Vancouver, we also have the privilege of some glorious weather and beautiful nature all around us. Take some time to enjoy this episode while enjoying the beauty of God's creation all around you!
We are blessed with some highly competent and godly leaders in our church family, and Kaitlyn and Mary are excellent young leaders that serve our church so faithfully. In this episode, Kaitlyn and Mary invite us into their journey in the Immerse program, which is a theologically robust, cutting-edge leadership development program for Christian leaders. Moreover, they share their joys of serving our church family and honestly discuss the real challenges that they faced in the last few years. We are also given a glimpse of what their new roles as Director of SDBC Kids and Director of Community Life entail. Take a listen to hear how God has been using these two amazing women for his glory!
In this episode, we discuss the importance of education in our culture and host two guests who are teachers that teach in different contexts. With Ashley and Suzanne as our guests, we get an inside look on what it's like to be a teacher in today's classrooms and even explore how new technologies and trends are shaping the world of education today. We also discuss how following Jesus faithfully allows our teachers to serve our community more effectively. Join us for this engaging conversation about education and remember to pray for our teachers!
Dr. Timothy J. Keller leaves an incredible legacy of faith and effective gospel proclamation through his numerous sermons, books, articles, and other materials, but the way in which he lived for Christ is perhaps the most inspirational part of his legacy. In this episode, Paul and Mary are joined by Pastor Jayson Oldham as they reflect on Dr. Keller's impact on their lives and ministries. Hebrews 13:7 encourages us to "Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God. Consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith." We are thankful to have had an awesome example of faith.
Anxiety impacts so many people's lives in today's culture. Whether it's at the workplace, in your home, or in other relationship contexts, you probably have experienced the challenges of anxiety yourself or perhaps you've walked alongside someone struggling with anxiety. In this episode, we want to get curious about anxiety, and in order to do that, we've enlisted the help of a clinical counsellor, Chelsea Conron, who practices professional counselling locally. Join us in an honest and vulnerable conversation about anxiety. We even dive into a biblically appropriate response to anxiety and other mental health challenges. This is an episode you don't want to miss.
