I hope you’ve enjoyed the last six weeks of podcasts. I’ve been praying that the Holy Spirit has been stirring in your heart to take your next step to live out your God-given calling.

Perhaps something you’ve heard, read or thought inspired you to think and feel differently about God, yourself, or others. If so, I’d love to hear about it. Could you drop me a note  Here? 

I’m taking this week off to prepare for our next series of podcasts. Starting next week (March 9), we will dive deep into each week’s sermon scripture. I’ll discuss the original language and historical context and share bonus practical applications. You will not want to miss these.​

This week, I am cross-sharing a podcast featuring our own Gerod Bass from February 28, 2023.

Mike Von Behren (Northwest District President) and Gerod discuss the arts and having and "open door policy" for a church building serve as a bridge into the community. We get to hear how Gerod's gifts and talents led to launching Mustard Seed Theatre after the 2016 fire and digs into what the calling to discipleship looks like when you cross boundaries to share the love of Christ.

​I’m sharing a series of podcasts titled Designed for More. Each episode is 15 minutes or less - perfect for a quick walk around the neighborhood, picking up the kids or grandkids, or an evening wind-down (hopefully, it won’t put you asleep!).

I hope that you enjoy this week’s discussion with long-time OSLCers Carol and Ted Miles. I had a lot of fun talking with them about their time serving in Papua, New Guinea, and how they experienced living out their spiritual gifts in the context of their calling.
