	* A detailed study of women in Scripture
	* Historical and current global perspectives
	* An examination of the fruit of women in public ministry
	* A hard-hitting revelation of what's at stake for women, men, the Body of Christ, God's Kingdom, and the unreached.

Loren Cunningham is the author of a number of books including:

	* Is That Really You God? Hearing the Voice of God
	* Daring to Live on the Edge: The Adventure of Faith and Finances
	* Making Jesus Lord: The Dynamic Power of Laying Down Your Rights (formerly titled Winning God’s Way)

This special edition of the YWAM Teaching Podcast is a celebration of Loren Cunningham's final ministry focus with his final book,  No Boundaries Within God’s Will. Loren Cunningham, founder of Youth With A Mission (YWAM) went to be with Jesus on October 6, 2023 at the age of 88.

Loren’s ministry focus in his last days was for translating the Bible and message of Jesus into every language on Earth. The new book is an account of Loren Cunningham's rugged path to all nations includes stories from secret gatherings of believers, desert border crossings and an emergency plane landing in the African jungle. No Boundaries tells Loren's vivid missions experiences to inspire your own all-or-nothing path. He fuses each story with biblical principles, inviting you to escape boxes of fear, doubt, or confusion. Clear examples and practical steps will help you find and follow God's vision for your life.

The book was written by Loren Cunningham and Jeff Rogers, and the first chapter of the book has been released for free over at lorencunningham.com, where you can order your own copy of the book in print edition, or as an ebook.

Since the first chapter has been released for free, I thought we could do a live read through of the first chapter for this YWAM Teaching Podcast. It's a different format from the usual teachings, but I'm hoping it motivates you to pick up and read the full new book.

Relinquishing our Rights – Loren Cunningham

In this teaching Loren Cunningham shares with us about Ruling with Jesus.

Loren Cunningham is the founder of Youth With A Mission (YWAM) and the co-founder of the University of the Nations (U of N). He is also a leader at the YWAM, U of N Campus in Hawaii, and a member of the YWAM International Eldership.

In this inspiring talk, Loren Cunningham talks about what it means to serve God and “inherit the earth”. Through stories of God’s miraculous favour, provision, and grace, he inspires us to humbly serve God in whatever capacity He has placed us.
I have made the earth, the men and the beasts which are on the face of the earth by My great power and by My outstretched arm, and I will give it to the one who is pleasing in My sight. (Jeremiah 27:5)
We are challenged to involve God in ALL that we do:
Whoever speaks, is to do so as one who is speaking the utterances of God; whoever serves is to do so as one who is serving by the strength which God supplies; so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belongs the glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. (1 Peter 4:11)

Ruling with Jesus – Loren Cunningham

Late last year Lynn Green sat down to discuss Leadership and Eldership in Youth With A Mission, and to answer some questions that people around the world had about the changes and development of it in YWAM. Lynn Green spoke with Lynn Yee for three different sessions, which we've put together into this podcast so that you can hear it all in a single session.

Some of the questions that they address in this podcast are:

 	* Plural Leadership
 	* What is an Elder
 	* The role of conveners in YWAM
 	* Why the need for the significant organisational change for YWAM in Singapore in 2014
 	* How does YWAM's flat leadership structure work cross-culturally
 	* The importance of relationship over hierarchy
 	* Accountability structures
 	* more ...

Lynn Green and his wife Marti first came to England and began the work of Youth With A Mission there in 1971. From 2004-2011 Lynn was YWAM’s International Chairman. He continues to convene YWAM’s global leadership meetings, and focuses much of his energy on international leadership development. Lynn Green also blogs at lynngreen.net, where you can find more of his thoughts and teachings.
