  • This podcast has been a light of encouragement and vision in an otherwise dark and confusing time. From biblical advice on relationships, leadership, time managment and many other themes of life, every episode does not disappoint. Each idea is referenced back to the exact scripture and no topic is to simple or brushed away. A great talk on vision for 2022 with many practical steps on how to achieve REAL goals this year.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How to Plant a Healthy Church That Lasts
Q: Can you define for us then what those seven keys would look like practically?
The seven keys are that the church must be applicable and sustainable, then accessible and affordable, followed by reproducible, enjoyable, and contextualizable so it fits the local culture without losing the core meaning and biblical basis.
The Incredible Story of Victory Church with Bishop Gilbert Foliente
Q: What was the initial context in Manila when the church started in 1984?
The city was in political turmoil, with student protests and campus activity; they began with street evangelism and evening events to gather people, laying a foundation for a church through disciplined, persistent outreach.
Q&A with Dr. Darryn Scheske of Heartland Church
Q: Why is contextualization so important in Japan and how does it differ from Western approaches?
The gospel must be presented in ways that resonate with Japanese culture, using language of proximity to God, and avoiding religious branding that turns people away; joy and authenticity matter more than mere rule-keeping.
Q&A with Dr. Darryn Scheske of Heartland Church
Q: What does it take to build a multi-ethnic church relationally rather than programmatically?
It requires joining with the community, investing personally (e.g., sitting in stands at football games, visiting different communities), and letting relationships shape leadership and hiring rather than tokenistic choices.
Q&A with Dr. Darryn Scheske of Heartland Church
Q: How do you know it's not just your own idea vs. God speaking to you?
Darryn emphasizes journaling and weighing discernment against the Word and prayer, plus seeking counsel from trusted mentors and the Holy Spirit's whisper.
