In a political climate where people are often fighting online and in other venues, many people try to stop the fighting by making the claim that Jesus wasn’t political, or at least didn’t have a political agenda in His ministry, and therefore we shouldn’t be political either.

In this episode, hear Patrick's view on how believers can be appropriately political in line with their Christian faith.

Every so often, we're going to start bringing bonus episodes to you from our library of Bible studies! These will typically be one audio session of the video teaching from the study. The first one is from Beth Moore's Beloved Disciple. This classic Bible study of the disciple John recently got a makeover to update the look. The content is the same, but now the videos are available for rent or download online or in the form of audio downloads.About Beloved Disciple:Every disciple and early follower of Christ left a legacy for future believers. John's legacy was love. Perhaps like no other disciple, John understood that relationship is the point. Every command of Christ and call to obedience is to enhance relationship and place the recipient in a posture the Giver can bless. This study is about finding our way to the heart of Jesus and reclining so closely that our pulse begins to throb in tandem, loving what He loves and hating what He hates.In this episode, you'll hear Session 1 of the Bible study. If you'd like to follow along with a viewer guide, you can download one here.To see all the Beloved Disciple products and to purchase your own study, go to Lifeway.com/BelovedDisciple.

| 03 Jun 2019 | MARKED Emily Chapman Richards | 00:39:07 | |
We talk with Emily Chapman Richards about staying grounded in the midst of busy schedules and fame, adoption, and leading at a young age. Emily has recently been named as the Executive Director of Show Hope ministries. We love how she shares what God has done and is doing in her life and in the life of her family and the ministry of Show Hope. We know you'll be encouraged by her vulnerability as she shares her story!About Emily:Emily began her career with Show Hope more than 10 years ago, and in 2017 she was named vice president and assistant executive director. Although she has been a part of the Show Hope team in an official capacity since 2008, Richards’ passion for adoption and drive to care for orphans began years before when she was 11 years old.Following a mission trip to Haiti, God planted a seed in young Emily’s heart that would lead her to champion the idea of adoption in her family—an idea that would ultimately result not only in the adoption of three daughters from China, but the creation of Show Hope, an organization with the mission “to care for orphans by engaging the Church and reducing barriers to adoption.”What began in the heart of an 11-year-old girl not only shaped her own family, but has impacted countless other families as well.Over the past four years, Show Hope has grown programmatically, financially, and operationally, and in 2017 the leadership team began laying out a strategic plan for the future with Richards spearheading the process. That plan included both leadership and organizational succession plans as well as the expansion of the nonprofit’s four pillars of work: Adoption Aid, Care Centers in China, Pre+Post Adoption Support, and Student Initiatives.Richards and her husband, Tanner, have three daughters and reside in Franklin, Tenn. She holds a bachelor’s degree in International Studies and Religion from Baylor University and a master’s degree in Theology from Queen’s University in Belfast, Northern Ireland.About Show Hope: Show Hope is a movement to care for orphans. They work to restore hope by breaking down barriers that exist between waiting children and loving families. This movement began in 2003, when Mary Beth and Steven Curtis Chapman founded Show Hope after having their own eyes and hearts opened to the global orphan crisis.Since its founding, Show Hope has provided more than $24 million in Adoption Aid grants, impacting more than 6,200 children from more than 60 countries, including the United States. The nonprofit has also provided care to more than 2,600 children with acute medical and special needs through its Care Centers in China, and through its Pre+Post Adoption Support efforts, Show Hope has provided tools and resources for more than 65,000 families, individuals, and professionals to care for children with complex needs. And as of 2018, more than 20,500 students have been engaged through Show Hope’s Student Initiatives, which educates and empowers the next generation of leaders to effectively care and make a difference in the lives of Learn more about the Titus Bible study at lifeway.com/titus.

| 01 Jul 2019 | MARKED J.D. Greear | 00:33:05 | |
Weekly, J.D. Greear, pastor of The Summit Church, invites us to ask him anything on his own podcast. When we had the opportunity to have a conversation with J.D., we took him up on the invitation! We asked about women in church leadership, fulfilling our callings, the local church, and how to help those who've been abused. We hope, like us, you find this conversation helpful in navigating these tough issues.About J.D.: J.D. Greear is the pastor of The Summit Church, in Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina.The Summit is characterized by its gospel focus and sending culture. As Pastor J.D. often says, “The gospel is not merely the diving board off of which we jump into the pool of Christianity, it’s also the pool itself.” The deeper we dive into the extravagant love of Christ, the more our lives will be filled with unquenchable joy, reckless generosity, and audacious faith. Depth in the gospel also leads to width in the mission. Under Pastor J.D.’s leadership, the Summit has grown from a plateaued church of 300 to one of over 10,000, making it one of Outreach magazine’s “top 25 fastest-growing churches in America” for many years running. Seating capacity, however, is not the church’s primary metric for success. Sending capacity is. Pastor J.D. has led the Summit in a bold vision to plant one thousand new churches by the year 2050. In the last 15 years, the church has sent out more than 1,000 people to live on church planting teams—in North Carolina, across the United States, and around the world. Pastor J.D. Greear has authored several books, including Above All: The Gospel Is the Source of the Church's Renewal (2019), Not God Enough: Why Your Small God Leads to Big Problems (2018), Gaining by Losing: Why the Future Belongs to Churches That Send (2015), Gospel: Recovering the Power that Made Christianity Revolutionary (2011), Stop Asking Jesus into Your Heart: How to Know for Sure You Are Saved (2013), and Jesus, Continued … Why the Spirit Inside You Is Better Than Jesus Beside You (2014).Pastor J.D. completed his Ph.D. in Theology at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, writing on the correlations between early church presentations of the gospel and Islamic theology. Seeing Muslims come to faith in Christ has long been a burden of his, a burden that led him to serve in Southeast Asia with the International Mission Board.Pastor J.D. is currently serving as the 62nd president of the Southern Baptist Convention.Pastor J.D. and his wife Veronica live in Raleigh. Together they are raising four ridiculously cute kids: Kharis, Alethia, Ryah, and Adon. Links:Ask Me Anything with Pastor J.D.

Today's episode is a fun one! Before we started recording the episode with Catherine Parks, we were chatting about some of our favorite memories of growing up listening to CCM radio, watching videos from the church library, and wearing WWJD bracelets.

| 21 Oct 2019 | MARKED | Lillian Nakabiri Mugisha | 00:47:28 | |
In this episode, we hear from Lillian. Lillian grew up in Uganda in poverty. She tells us her story of growing up and gaining a Compassion International sponsor. She talks about the hope she found in Jesus through the Compassion program and her sponsor's words. Now she works for Compassion in Uganda! She gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the Compassion program and how God is using the program to change whole families around the world. This episode will have you grabbing pen and paper to write to your Compassion child!About Lillian:Looking at Lillian Nakabiri Mugisha, it is impossible to see the life of fear, hunger, abuse, and pain of her past through her wide smile and warm personality. She has come from a life of difficult poverty in Uganda to find hope, joy, and success. Growing up an orphan, she lacked basic needs including the love of a family, shelter, and sustenance. At age nine she was registered in the Compassion program and was sponsored by a loving family in Australia. Her future was changed forever as she learned what it meant to be provided for and loved, and that God never fails. Lillian is now a college graduate, married, and works full time for the Compassion Uganda office where she leads teams visiting her beautiful country.About Watch Her Rise:Girls born into extreme poverty are fighting for a chance to survive. Worldwide, girls are exploited, sold into sex trafficking and child marriage, refused basic education, forced into child labor or expected to provide for their families at a young age. We all know that it’s impossible for an adolescent girl to feel empowered or reach her potential when even her basic needs – food, shelter, clothes, and healthcare – are not met.We are coming alongside girls who are highly vulnerable, living in situations that are well beyond their years and means to handle. Through sponsorship, we can watch her rise and then help her keep walking, in the power of Christ’s love and salvation in her life. Sponsoring a highly vulnerable girl can help her overcome the many obstacles she is facing. Your love and support could change her life forever, even for eternity.Sponsor a girl today— go to Compassion Watch Her Rise campaign here!
