“I honestly never thought I would say this, but I’m giving a chance to Jesus.”

 

Ysaac Lagotte and Hugh Luo-Tatebe talk Martyr’s Life, space voyages, and the ML brotherhood on this episode of Never Expire. How did a boy from Quebec and a new Christian find their way to small town Eston, and how did they end up in ‘the Brotherhood?” These boys bring passion and excitement to what they are learning in classes and on ministry trips, you don’t want to miss hearing about some of the testimonies from their time here!

 

If you’ve ever asked yourself, “why do evangelism?”, this is the podcast for you. If you simply want to join in celebrating the body of Christ and what he does for His children, this is the podcast for you.

“Grace is not a ticket to do whatever you want, but you should never neglect it. It empowers righteous living.”

Selena Switzer brings joy and enthusiasm to everything she does, and talking about religion is no different. Listen to Selena’s experience with pastoral issues surrounding multi-religion meetings, and personal experience on her recent trip to India. She also talks about a major paper she wrote on grace, which is something she vulnerably discusses within the context of her own life.

“If I read this book at 13 pages per minute, I can still get this done on time.” -Stanford Stone

Branford Stone grew up in Korea, and has only been back in Canada for 5 years. 3 of those years he has been living and studying at Eston College, which is why he considers this place a huge part of his home. With unique spunk and deliberate perspective, Branford shares his journey with us through Pastoral Theology class, and how it’s been challenging him. He talks case studies, emotional turmoil of assignments, his alter ego named Stanford, and his greatest triumph: winning second place in a dodge ball tournament.

Shout out to some of the alumni that are mentioned in this episode! Brandon Stefanuik, Tristan McCracken, Mathieu Wasmuth, Michael Akers, Carlee Marie Bacon, Nicole Thulien, Julaine Wasmuth, Josiah Moorley, and Jeremy Atkins!

“If you take anything away from this podcast… don’t be a Stanford.”

“The 5 Fold Ministry doesn’t just exist in the Christian community. It exists outside of that. God doesn’t limit himself to just His people.”

Josiah Moorley, a third year student from Trinidad and Tobago, discusses his Integrative Seminar project on the 5 Fold Ministry. Discussing from the book “5 Q” by Alan Hirsch, Josiah talks about his discoveries, and what it’s like to basically be his own teacher through this book.

Josiah also talks about the amazing opportunity to go to Kenya for second semester.

[Update since we recorded the episode: Josiah has resolved his Student Visa issues, and is on track to be going!]

“Joshua, Judges and Ruth are just three little stories in the massive story of God.”

Brett Dobson, Kara Zilinski, and Erin Duhaime discuss the mini-semester class, “Joshua, Judges, and Ruth” taught by Dr. John Loge. They discuss the importance of not just singling out one of these books but reading it in context with what’s around it.

Joshua didn’t raise up anyone beneath him, which teaches us about discipleship. Judges is not just an irrelevant book, but it points us to Jesus. Ruth is a beautiful picture of the gospel.

Tune in to hear what they learned and how it applies to your life.

Keep on fire… grow desire… never expire.
