Circuit Rider Conversations

Haylee, Annalisa, Yasmin and Derek have a follow up conversation on sacrificial love. Haylee shares on Amy Carmichael, a missionary whose gritty, selfless life shifted culture in India and still convicts us today. Then from Annalisa we learn about Elizabeth Elliot, who returned to share the love of Jesus with the tribe in Ecuador who martyred her husband.

Derek, Yasmin, Zoe and Steph dive into the heroic lives of two historic women who embody sacrificial love. We learn more about Corrie Ten Boom, whose family put their own lives in danger to harbor Jews during the holocaust and Harriet Tubman, who was a slave that escaped to safety but then went back to lead many others to freedom. Matthew 5:43-48 and 2 Corinthians 5:14-17 summarizes how Biblical love goes beyond emotions or sentiments. It's a love that is gritty and costly, even for the sake of our enemies. We leave this discussion with a call to imitate the lives of these two inspiring women and with an impartation to see change in our generation through the way we love.

Derek, Yasmin, Sydney and Hope talk about being zealous for good works based on a passage out of Titus 2. They focus on the provoking example of the Clapham Sect, a community of men and women believers most known for William Wilberforce and the fight to abolish slavery in England and the UK. It was their deep friendship with Jesus and commitment to each other that led this group of believers to rise up as advocates for reform, and change the world.

Derek hosts Kasie, Shaina and Yasmin as they continue the Hallelujah Lassies series. Their conversation dives into the inspiring life of Kathryn Kuhlman, a wild revivalist who saw many people miraculously healed by the Holy Spirit. We are provoked by her sacrificial love, daily surrender and costly obedience.

Nick, Derek and Brian discuss aspects of seasons of pruning in a Christian's life and why its a good thing for our character. They address the difference between pruning, refining and suffering. Brian gives us a few signs of how we can tell something needs pruning in our lives.

Derek, Matt and Nick break down the relationship of supernatural teamwork and the gifts of the Holy Spirit as highlighted in Romans 12:4-8. Matt emphasizes why teamwork matters to God and why it should matter to us. Nick shares on how God created the Body of Christ to function in community and how He gave us each gifts of the Spirit, especially prophesy, so that we can help and encourage one another.

Zach interviews Derek about how grace is expressed through salvation. They highlight that salvation is actually a person, someone all of humanity has been searching for since the beginning. They lay a Biblical foundation for the Gospel of the Kingdom and inspire us to share the Gospel with those around us.

Derek engages in discussion with David and Chase about two distinct topics related to grace. David unwraps the struggle of loneliness that Christians often experience, even though God promises His nearness. Chase emphasizes the freedom we have, especially in the United States, to pursue God, and challenges us to combine it with the work ethic demonstrated in the Bible.

Derek, Joel, Michael, and Brad talk about the grace of the Holy Spirit and what it means for our lives. They share practical, empowering truths of what the Spirit longs to do in us, broadening our understanding of grace.

Derek Mack, Zach Nash, and Jake Mason talk about truth as grace, highlighting the grace of God to give us His word. When truth and grace are allowed to exist together we come closer to seeing the fullness of God.
