Is laughter the missing link to handling tough seasons?
Have you ever been at your lowest and then someone makes you laugh, changing everything in that moment? The Bible in Job 5:22 says, "You will laugh at destruction and famine, and need not fear the wild animals." What makes laughter so special to God? Is it truly the best medicine? TikTok creators and authors of Able to Laugh, John and Jade Reynolds, discuss this with Esther Higham.
Is your mission trip in danger of being culturally insensitive?
Do short-term mission trips still have a place in today’s world? Matthew 28:19 tells us to "go and make disciples of all nations," but how do we deal with concerns about cultural sensitivity and global power dynamics when it comes to our trips abroad? Esther Higham spoke to Nathaniel Jennings, from OMF, and Danielle Face, chair of the Global Connections short-term mission forum.
Why there are leadership problems in the church today
Leadership in the church is under much scrutiny. Questions are being raised around the world about whether church leaders are truly leading like Jesus. The Bible encourages us in Hebrews 13:7 to “…imitate their faith.” So, how do we raise up people whose life and faith are worthy of imitation? Former Baptist pastor and CEO of Arable, Karl Martin, joined Esther Higham to discuss this.
