Our guest this week is Dr. Tim Tennent, President of Asbury Theological Seminary, one of the largest theological schools in the U.S.  He has, in a very grace-filled and biblically sound way  unfolded God’s intention for our physical bodies. The human body is an amazing gift, yet today, many people downplay its importance and fail to understand what Christianity teaches about our bodies and their God-given purposes.

Carole Ward is a missionary, leader, and teacher fostering an indigenous missions movement in Northern Uganda and South Sudan. She moved to Uganda in 2002 during a 20-year horrific war, where she served and trained African leaders from all backgrounds to pray. As the war in the north claimed thousands of lives and saw 50,000+ children abducted, and as missions, government agencies, and westerners were leaving the war zone, Carole moved into the area to pray and to live. Her cry was, “Lord, would you give me a bucket of water and a towel so I could walk through the land and wash the feet of men and women who have walked in suffering that I'll never understand.” Don't miss a minute of our conversation with this courageous servant of God.
