Beyond Donations: Embracing New Family This Christmas Do our donations distract us from loving one another? Food drives, toy donations, end-of-year fundraisers— all these are important to keep crucial ministries going. But is that where our responsibility to those in need ends? Perhaps the best gift we can give others is the gift of ourselves. Brenda Parks from Miracle Hill Foster Care will join us to talk about specific ways we can expand our families to include children in foster care. This is the time of year where we celebrate Jesus coming to Earth to expand His family to include you and me. Maybe this Christmas we should really think of ways to pay it forward.

What are we missing in our current American Christian expressions of family, community, and discipleship? Are our peer-led Bible studies reflecting real discipleship? Larry Fowler has authored many books and worked with AWANA International and youth ministry for over 35 years. But now he has started his own ministry -the Legacy Coalition- to encourage grandparents to take ownership in the discipleship process of their grandkids. The Legacy Coalition's mission is to equip grandparents to impact future generations who know, love and serve Christ. Grandparents are incredibly important to their grandchildren. Grandparents are uniquely positioned to spiritually influence their grandchildren. Grandparents have a Biblical mandate to do so.

Know your Myers Briggs personality type? Tonight we talk about how each personality type has an advantage in the Great Commission. The Great Commission isn't a special assignment for a special elite. It's the marching orders for every disciple of Jesus. You don't have to be in full time ministry, have a seminary degree, or a special ability or personality to bring the Gospel to your neighbors and others who need Him. Melissa and Adam Hoffman join our discussion; they are regional directors for Perspectives on the World Christian Movement mobilizers, based in North Carolina. What is Perspectives? Perspectives is a fifteen week course designed around four vantage points or "perspectives" — Biblical, Historical, Cultural and Strategic. Each one highlights different aspects of God's global purpose. Why Perspectives? God has a "world-sized" role for every Christian in His global purpose. Whether people go to distant countries or stay at home, what most people are hungry to discover: vision to live a life of purpose.

Interview with Benjamin Dunn (full interview)

Faith Works discusses cultural issues, discoversethe Christ life, and seeks to change the world through apologetics, true Christian discipleship, and activism. Our faith works because 1. It provides answers. It helps us make sense of our world. 2. It's real. We can experience God's presence and promises. 3. It moves us to act. How would we live if we really believe what we believe is real?
