Many in the North American church "get it." They have context for support-based work and see their part in it... but many don't.

Today's episode is actually in response to a question from a listener. "What do you do when your family isn't supportive, when they tell you that you should get a 'real' job?"

Spencer and Annette Nicholl have been support-based workers for over thirty years, but the early days of their journey were not smooth.  They humbly share their experiences in navigating an unsupportive family and community while maintaining a resolved trust in God's goodness.

Spencer and Annette now live and work in Colorado with Big Horn Ministries - a ministry they founded to provide care for ministry workers.

We are kicking off season 3 with a timely discussion on the importance of launching into ministry with the holistic support of a local church - a body of believers that you are committed to and that know you well.  Joining us for this discussion is Drew Remke.

Drew Remke is the Vice President of Church Partnerships for Pioneers USA. Pioneers is a global movement people seeking to glorify God by planting churches among the least reached places on the planet. Drews team works primarily with the 3400 sending and supporting churches of the Pioneers USA members. The team strives to create meaningful partnerships with local churches, to strengthen them in their attempts to fulfill their role in reaching the unreached. 

Before leading the Church Partnerships Team, Drew and his family spend 12 years in the Arabian Peninsula serving in different roles. He planted and pastored multiple international churches, established several small businesses, created leadership development programs for members of the organization as well as overseeing missionary teams across the Arabian Peninsula. 

Jordan is currently a student at Liberty University where she is completing her master’s in clinical and Mental Health Counseling. After 12 years on the field in which saw an average of 300 nights a year of overnight house guests, it became clear that counseling was not only a gift but a calling. 

Before serving overseas Drew and Jordan were founding members and staff of Redeemer Church of Lubbock, which has sent more than 75 people to the nations in its first 15 years of existence.

What does it look like to clearly share your ministry and financial needs when you can’t speak freely? Jonathan helps us cut this tension by highlighting the values of authenticity and discretion. He reminds us, yet again, that it isn’t about the money but about bringing our senders into the story in any way we can.

The holiday season is dynamic in the unique opportunities it brings. Though the actual holidays themselves invite slowing and reflection, they are often surrounded by a pronounced busyness with extra gatherings and celebratory parties. While these touch points are fun and meaningful, they can bring stress.  Adding fundraising appointments and goals on top of that can bring even more stress.

As we head into the final month of the year, we've asked Jenn Smyth to provide some vision and practical advice on how to stay grounded and healthy in the stress of the holiday season.  She currently works in the fitness and wellness space and shares vulnerably and passionately from a place of understanding and compassion. Her recommendations to keep it simple and just do something feel attainable for all of us!

If we reduced good communication down to the ABCs, dignity would be the "D". It is an essential component of the stories we share and the way we share them. Listen in as Clyde shares his experience on the powerful perspective  of regarding all people as image bearers.
