Through 85 episodes, you may have wondered when we would highlight the Great Commission. This week is the week! However, we don’t just hit the points you’ve heard before; we also explore the context and hopefully shed a different light on this Scripture. What does it mean for us today? Is it still relevant? The Worthless Servants offer many thoughts and take-aways on this classic passage.

We’re back this week talking about the World Evangelism Fund (WEF). It’s just that important! This time we’re blunt; we don’t want to see any zeros in our financial reports in regards to missions giving. WEF is, after all, the backbone of the Church of the Nazarene’s strategy to sustain its global ministry. What is the Zero Zeros initiative? Why do we need this in our region? How can you get involved?

Pastor Dario Richards is back to help us continue the conversation about race, and specifically ethnocentrism, in the Church. What is ethnocentrism? How does it show up in the Church, and how can we combat it? What can we learn from an analogy of an iceberg? Hear our answers to all these questions and more as we share times when we ourselves have fallen short, and what we have learned along the way.

This week the Worthless Servants talk about race and racism: a conversation that is taking place all over the world in the light of recent events. This is certainly not a new issue, but many of us in the Church are finally addressing it head on. Pastor Dario Richards from Barbados joins the conversation to give us a fresh view and a wise perspective. He and the group share several stories of what they’ve experienced both outside and inside the Church. What is our responsibility in this time? What should our response be? How can we more effectively strive for reconciliation?

Yet another week in the world of COVID and the Worthless Servants are back to talk about it. How does this time compare to culture shock? What are some similarities and differences? They all have something to say as they borrow some terms from a beloved former missionary. They also talk about how we as the Church can help people and how we can continue to make disciples in this time.

You’ve heard her voice, her comments, and her heart. Now you can hear her story (and more)! This episode is dedicated to getting to know Nathalie Franco a little bit more. Hear her story, her call, and her answers to some not-so-serious questions.

This episode is dedicated to looking at two articles by Nazarene Pastor Rob Prince on How to Strengthen the Church of the Nazarene. While the articles were written for the USA/Canada Region, we believe they can help people around the world think differently about Church. A link to the articles can be found in the show notes.

For this Scripture Spotlight we’re focusing on Acts 2:1-11. As we read this familiar story of Pentecost, what does it teach us about the mission of God? We tell some personal stories to help relate the modern era to the Biblical text, and we discuss several theological and missiological implications of the Spirit’s filling.

In episode 74 we briefly touched on the new missions paradigm in the Church of the Nazarene. This week we answer some of your questions and other topics of interest regarding those changes. We touch on missions education, the role of NMI, the definition of a Nazarene Missionary, and a lot more.

This is the continuation of episode 75: 14 Point Check-up. As we focus on the second half of Dan Reiland’s article, we talk this time about how we should never stop learning, give more personal stories, and even bring sugar cookies into the conversation! What can we learn from this list and how can it help us in ministry?
