Ministry Reimagined

Welcome back to Ministry Reimagined!

In this episode, Pastor Edgar Luna shares his perspective on the difference between having authority and having influence, and why holding a leadership position doesn't necessarily mean you're making an impact. We talk about what it would look like for the church to become a movement again, rather than simply an institution, and the importance of recognizing that the church's shortcomings come from imperfect people, not from God. Through his experiences in ministry, Pastor Luna challenges us to rethink what genuine leadership looks like and how we can help the church better reflect the God it represents.

What If Sports Is Your Ministry? | Coach Richie

Welcome back to Ministry Reimagined!

In this episode, Coach Richie shares how his work as a gymnastics and volleyball coach has become an extension of his ministry. For him, church isn't just something that happens once a week. It's something he lives out five days a week through the relationships he builds with his athletes and the environment he creates for his teams. We talk about how sports can become an opportunity to share faith, invest in young people, and develop leaders who will go on to lead others. His story challenges us to rethink what ministry can look like beyond the walls of a church.

Welcome back to Ministry Reimagined!

In this episode, Debbie Michel reflects on how her approach to interviewing changed after a decade working at NBC. After years of asking questions and gathering people’s stories, her journey of faith challenged her to see interviews differently—not simply as a way to receive information, but as an opportunity to give something back through hope and encouragement. We talk about how becoming an Adventist reshaped the way she connects with the people she interviews, why rest has become a priority in her life, and what happens when faith begins to influence not just what you do, but how you do it.

Welcome back to Ministry Reimagined!

In this episode, we dive into Jalanni’s journey to ministry. He reflects on his experience growing up surrounded by violence and loss while God led him down a different path. Together, we talk about what it means to trust God's goodness in the middle of suffering, why "no weapon formed against me shall prosper" doesn't mean we won't face battles, and how faith can remain steadfast even when life doesn't make sense. Through his story, we're reminded that God's promises aren't the absence of hardship, they're His presence through it.

Welcome back to Ministry Reimagined!

In this episode, Pastor Shane Anderson reflects on his journey into ministry, the resistance he felt toward God's calling, and the questions that shaped his faith along the way.

Through honest conversation and personal insight, Pastor Shane offers a thoughtful perspective on seeking truth, embracing God's calling, and allowing difficult questions to deepen rather than diminish our faith.
