Do you ever feel like you just don’t get Gen Alpha? Dr. Jolene Erlacher breaks down this fascinating generation for us. She explains the unique way they see the world, the challenges they face, and the strengths they bring to the table.

They’ve been born into a crazy world unlike any previous generation, and God has a unique call on their lives. How can we nurture that call, help them understand what truth is, and take steps to understand them and connect with them, drawing out their full potential and learning from them at the same time? How can we raise, mentor, and support resilient, compassionate, and innovative kids?

This episode is a wealth of knowledge. Together, let’s help set these kids up to be the world-changers God has called them to be!

Do you ever feel overwhelmed in life, relationships, or ministry? In this encore episode, clinical psychologist Dr. Margaret Nagib, looks at the role our body plays in overwhelm. 

We talk about common physical symptoms missionaries experience when they are in overwhelm, and Margaret looks at the ways God speaks to us through not only our spirit and soul, but also our body. What is good stress versus bad stress? How can we learn to crucify our flesh without crucifying our bodies? What can happen when we get our WHOLE self aligned with God’s purpose for us?

Spiritual warfare. It’s a topic, that for most people, either gets them fired up and ready to battle the enemy, or it leaves a bad taste in their mouth because of how they’ve been taught or seen it used. Whether you love it or are repelled by it, there’s no denying spiritual warfare is real, and Scripture calls us to it. And as missionaries, we especially cannot ignore it. We are all fighting battles for those we serve, for the countries and cities we are called to, and for our teammates, families, and friends.

So, what is a healthy approach to this complex topic? How do we explain it to our kids and others in a way that will empower them instead of scare them? For the last 40 years, Dean Sherman has been a leader in YWAM and worldwide, is a recognized authority on spiritual warfare. He gives missionaries a Scripturally-based, easy-to-understand approach to spiritual warfare that will encourage and embolden you to fight from a place of peace and confidence in Christ.
