  • I love Shades Midweek

    This podcast is 10/10. The hosts are charming and friendly, and I love their recommendations so much I want a list of every book and album. Seems like a fun group of pals, and they know what they’re talking about when it comes to theology. 10/10 would go to their church in real life (and I do). There’s your rating, guys!

    Even though I’m extremely biased, and I would never want to admit this to my husband, I really do look forward to the intros ... I mean this podcast every week. It gets me through the afternoon lag and honestly I catch myself truly “lol’ing” at the dynamic of the three hosts. Your topics are enlightening and the meet a member episodes are so helpful as I am horrible with names. Thank you for the consistency, belly laughs, Oxford being compared to human offspring and the email corridor reverb. Pe... more

    I seem to have passed out mid-sentence. The point is that this podcast will surely take off several decades of your time in Purgatory. Praise the Lord.

Episode 258 - Ben Johnson (Immigrant Hope)
Q: What can local churches do to support Immigrant Hope or become more welcoming to immigrants?
Churches can partner at national or local levels, pray, fundraise, promote the work, volunteer, and consider a church evaluation to tailor care ministries for immigrants, including ESL, healthcare, tutoring, and potential immigration legal services.
Episode 258 - Ben Johnson (Immigrant Hope)
Q: What does day-to-day work look like in the Immigrant Hope network, and what services do churches offer?
Church programs typically operate with offices set aside for the ministry, open hours for consultations, screening to determine eligibility, and help filing or pursuing benefits, with emphasis on holistic care—emotional, spiritual, and legal—and collaboration with social services.
Episode 258 - Ben Johnson (Immigrant Hope)
Q: Can you share the story behind the founding of Immigrant Hope and its connection with the EFCA?
Immigrant Hope started about 15 years ago out of EFCA Hispanic ministries to address immigration in churches—providing legal aid, resources, and a way for churches to connect with immigrant communities while maintaining theological alignment and mission to share the gospel.
Episode 263 - Global Missions w/ Molly McLain
Q: How does TOY approach economic development in Cuba?
TOY uses a microfinance model where Cuban pastors and seminary professors teach biblical stewardship, and Cubans present business proposals to Cuban stewards and trustees; funded ventures stay in Cuba to reinvest and grow local entrepreneurship.
Episode 263 - Global Missions w/ Molly McLain
Q: What is TOY's primary goal in Cuba?
TOY aims to support Cuban churches by providing physical relief, spiritual formation, and financial empowerment, while fostering local leadership and sustainable, church-led initiatives rather than creating dependency on outside aid.
