In the latest edition of the Here & There Podcast, we catch up with LAC Regional Director James "You Can Call Me Jim, But Don't Call Me Gus" Guskjolen in Panama and find out what lurks beneath the surface of his smooth but rugged ‪#‎RD‬

exterior. With his Norwegian heritage, his Prairie upbringing and his

international gallivanting, you might wonder if he can remember who he

is and what he does. Good news - he's passionate about Global Workers

and loves serving you! Pour yourself a non-mood-altering piña colada and

enjoy the conversation. ‪#‎LAC‬ ‪#‎Panama‬ ‪#‎HnT‬

E·quip /əˈkwip/(verb): to supply with the necessary items for a

particular purpose and/or to prepare (someone) mentally for a particular

situation or task. This word came up at least a dozen times in Matt's

recent conversation with Valerie Penney, who serves as GlobalEd's Administrator. In the latest episode of the Here & There Podcast, Val talks about her trip to ‪#‎India‬

a short time ago, the "best" way to reach the world with the Gospel,

and the rewards of training global educators. The Canuck "cent" may be

discontinued, but this Canadian Penney's work will carry on for decades!

It's a New Year and with that, a new Here & There podcast is here (& there) for your listening enjoyment. Sheldon

and Matt are back at working through the Wellness Plan 4.0 and chat

through Intellectual Vitality. Are you smarter than your spouse? Do you

eat enough books for lunch? Is your brain still developing? Are you

open-minded (or worried your brain is going to fall out)? We answer all

of these questions, update you on the Funder Games and learn more about

hosting a Global Volunteer! ‪#‎wp4pointoh‬ ‪#‎fundergames‬ ‪#‎soyouregettingamidtermer‬ ‪#‎hntpodcast‬

In this lead-up-to-Christmas episode of the Here & There Podcast, Sheldon

and Matt share their family Christmas preparations, discuss what "down-time"

looks like, and the special segment "So You're Getting A Mid-Termer" is

back! Also, The Funder Games are underway with the first 2 players

being eliminated and strategic alliances are forming. Grab some 'nog and

have a listen! ‪#‎HnTPodcast‬ ‪#‎christmasprep‬ ‪#‎fundergames‬ ‪#‎banterforjanira‬

In the spirit of Christmas blockbuster movies we present the introduction of the Funder Games (brought to your by the HnT Podcast). That's right, 12 unsuspecting GWs have been harvested by Matt and Shel and placed into the arena where they will fight for survival (and funding). Listen in and cheer for your favourite Global Worker. And may the odds be ever in your favour.Also Matt and Shel talk about other stuff that's pretty cool like the fact that Shel is getting his first midtermer, Christmas prep has started, getting "swabbed" and of course podcasting mistakes. It's an epic podcast to help you get into the Christmas spirit.

Ever wanted to climb inside the mind of a ‪#‎TCK‬

(third culture kid)? Maybe gaze into the future and wonder what your

little one could look and sound like at 15? Or perhaps throwback to when

you were raising your international brood in far away distant lands? In

the latest edition of the Here & There Podcast, Matt sat down with Phil and Judy Bowler's

youngest son David, aka "Le Malin" at Segue in May and grilled this

Russian-Senegalese-Canadian about growing up around the world and

becoming his own ‪#‎missionary‬

man. I think you'll agree: he's a pretty special kid and he has a

legitimate shot at the title of Greatest Bowler Ever, with due respect

to Arn and Elsie. ‪#‎thelegendcontinues‬ ‪#‎naturevsnurture‬ ‪#‎adoptedbytheking‬ ‪#‎MKlife‬

One week ago, terrorists attacked several targets in Paris, France and 129 people were left dead. The attacks were designed to strike fear, confusion and division in the hearts of people of the Free World...some believe it is working. #prayforparis and Eiffel Towers backed by peace signs became the message to shout from our social media pulpits. Then the inevitable push back came..."thanks for praying", said one Charlie Hebdo cartoonist — "but we don't need more religion, Paris is about life!" The Dalai Lama weighed in — "Don't pray for Paris, work for peace instead. Humans have created this problem, and now we are asking God to solve it. It is illogical. God would say, solve it yourself because you created it in the first place.” Our good friends and fellow GWs, Peter​ and Pat were about 300m from one of the attack sites...in this latest edition of the Here & There Podcast we asked them what they believe will come of this tragedy in their home city of Paris. Listen in while they speak of their renewed passion for the city and how they plan to help restore courage and bring hope to the people in their arrondissement. #prayforpeterandpat
