Outpost 127: A Podcast for the Misfit, the Sojourner and the Wanderer

Where can a family turn when they are without a home and trying to put the pieces of their lives back together? Since 2003, God has sent hundreds of families to The Strong Foundation in San Antonio, Texas to do just that. Jim Gipson, Pastor and Founder, shares his incredible story of seeing God make this mission all come true. https://strongfoundation.org/

As a misfit minister, Ron's love and training in the arts allows him to see the beauty and authenticity in the people around him. As a bi-vocational Pastor of a Vineyard Church, Ron also gets to share the love of Jesus in his adopted home of Circleville, Ohio.

Some raw thoughts to help keep YOU propped up for a little while longer.

It's rare to haven an opportunity to sit down with your teenage daughter and have an honest conversation about personal faith, the American Church and the importance of the Gospel message in today's culture. Rebekah Wukasch is an 18 year old high school student who has much to share with us...older people...who might be ready to give up on this younger generation. We encourage you to listen closely and with an open mind as to what she has to share.

"I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me."-Galatians 2:20. Words that changed Victor Otieno Akoth's life just a few years ago. Victor's childhood growing up in Kenya was all about trying to be good enough for God. But when Victor was introduced to Christ as his life, everything changed. Now Victor has started a new ministry for youth in Kenya and Tanzania that teaches them to live as Christ as their source. Come hear Victor's story, a little about his new ministry and especially how he has rediscovered a joy for painting.

"For FREEDOM Christ has set you free. Stand firm therefore and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery."-Galatians 5:1

Hiking to the South Rim of Big Bend National Park with 70 pounds on your back isn't much fun. Neither is walking through this life day to day. How did we become so burdened? What is the answer to finding rest? Better yet, who is the answer?

"Every sale has one thing in common-an overwhelmed client and my purpose is to step into that client's life for a very brief time where God can use the skills He has given me to lift that burden off of their shoulders." -Lynne Christopher

What do you do when you know that God is calling you to start something new? Like most people, when Lynne Christopher had a nudge from God 5 years ago to begin her own business, she said, "I can't". And God didn't necessarily disagree with her. Join us as we hear Lynne's story, her purpose and why she sees what she does as more than just routine work.

While Gatorade can provide a quick dose of important vitamins and minerals to keep you from cramping, we can’t live off the stuff. Water is the substance that your body actually needs. In the same way, trying to live in the pursuit of happiness (Gatorade) only will get you so far. Joy (water) which is a fruit of the spirit, is the only thing that truly nourishes.

Be honest, many of us walk around with a fake I.D. hoping that it looks real enough so we won't get caught. But trying to live day by day with something that isn't real also doesn't bring us any freedom. What we need is a new identification card--one that's been bought and paid for by someone else. In this interview with Matt Galbraith, we discuss the bedrock foundational truth of the new identity you experience as someone in Christ.  www.anchor.fm/cupoffreedom Facebook page: www.fb.me/takethejourneytofreedom
