On this weeks show, Kurt and Chad talk with Jaime Saint. Jaime’s dad, Steve, is the son of martyr Nate Saint, a jungle missionary pilot. Nate was speared to death in the Amazon Rainforest of Ecuador in 1956 by the Waodani tribe. Jaime grew up in a family that participated in mission ventures in Ecuador as well as in Mali, West Africa. After graduating from high school in 1995, Jaime moved with his family to the Amazon Rainforest to help the Waodani tribe learn to do for themselves what outsiders had been doing so that the Waodani could reach their own people with the Gospel.

Jamie talks about his surrendering to God to “write my story and show me enough vision to be obedient”, and that allowing God to write your story is not a sacrifice, when we know the character and the goodness of the author. (This is a repeat episode - enjoy!)

“The culture got to my kids before I did.”

That statement is scary and sobering for parents to hear. Many of us feel like we are running up against a wave of culture going in one direction and we want to go in another. One of those areas that is the biggest “tidal waves” of culture is p*rnography and the world’s view of s*xuality.

On this week show, seminary students and lifetime friends Jacob Valk and John-Michael Bout talk about their personal journey as young men and their introduction to p*rnography and s*xual temptation, and the lightbulb moment of creating Into the Light “a teaching documentary on freedom from pornography that walks through the process of change from bondage in sin to freedom in Christ.”

It’s a visual problem and this is a visual response to the problem.

Growing up as a pastors kid, Brandon Gatson had plans of being a pro basketball player and geared his life around that dream. But by God’s intervention, he went from basketball to Bible study, from pleasure to purpose. At a conference, Brandon and his wife August looked around the room and noticed a lack of diversity. From that, the School of Reform was birthed. https://schoolofreform.com “Presenting Christ to the Culture but Re-Presenting Christ to the Church”

Topics on the show include:

- How difference in culture is ok but doesn’t need to be divided.

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step"- Chinese proverb. If you want to get from point A to B, you would need to get a map and a plan. There isn’t much difference in areas of your life such as relationships, emotions or personal growth. What do I do to take the first step? On this weeks show, counselor and author C. Dennis Kaufman talks about his book “There Is A Way- 9 Vital Skills for an Excellent Christian Journey” and what it looks like to find the right way. Get the book on Amazon.com

“High profile leaders are often set up to experience high-impact burnout or flatline in their growth, unwilling or unable to scale the wall ahead of them.” (From the website www.leadershipreality.org ) If that's true for high profile leaders, what about for those of us that aren't in the spotlight? On this week’s show, Chad and Kurt talk with Daniel Montgomery - CEO of Leadership Reality and author of the book Leadership Mosaic ( www.leadershipmosaic.org). Daniel points out that one size does not fit all - there are 5 different leadership styles and a piece of each of them is more effective than just the one that comes naturally.

A young married man follows his wife to the place he thinks that she is having an affair with another man. Once the husband gets there, he hears about and meet this man, and then makes the commitment to follow this Man the rest of his life. On this weeks show, Kurt and Chad welcome

Pastor Keith Meriweather, who tells the story that begins being born in West Louisville, being surrounded by drugs and violence. Having a dislike for “the man”, church (“It’s too feminine”) and especially preachers, Keith saw strength and power in the Black Muslim movement in the early 90’s. Keith met Marcia and they eventually married. After seeing how much time she was spending at church, Keith suspected Marcia was seeing a man. Little did he know, that “man” was Jesus. He went to an evening church concert, and his life was never the same. From hating preachers to becoming one! From being cautious of white people to having them in in his church (friend Steve McKinley joins him on the show), God takes Keith on a road that only He can go!
