In this episode, we have the privilege of hearing from Barton Priebe, Lead Pastor of Central Baptist Church in Victoria, as he talked with Jessica Powell about his new book, “Adopted by God: Discover the Life-Transforming Joy of a Neglected Truth.”
You’ll get to hear him explain why the doctrine of adoption is such an important one, why he says it’s been a neglected truth in the church, and how there is life-transforming joy to be found when we truly embrace our identities as sons and daughters of God. He also shares how understanding and teaching this doctrine can be incredibly helpful for us as church leaders who are trying to help navigate our churches through controversies, such as the ones many of us are dealing with now during Covid!

Ep. 42 | A God-Honoring Impact in Uganda w/ Betty Mutunda
Our Leadership Development team has had the opportunity this year to partner with a group of women in Kampala, Uganda who had reached out to us as they were looking for resources for mentoring women in leadership.
In this episode, Krista Penner had a conversation with Betty Mutunda, who is on the ground in Uganda — serving God with her gifts and mentoring other women to do the same. You’ll get to hear her share about the challenges the church in Uganda is facing and how they are serving their communities in the midst of it.
What God is doing through these women is incredibly inspiring and we are so grateful that Fellowship Pacific gets to play a small part in partnering with them in their ministry!

Ep. 41 | Parenting Teens w/ Mark Gregston
Parenting is hard. We know that. As parents we love our kids deeply and we long to see them flourish and thrive, but knowing how to help them do that often feels like a complete mystery. And then on top of that there’s the pressure we sometimes put on ourselves as leaders in the church to be setting an example in how we raise our kids!
Whether you’re in the middle of raising teens yourself, preparing to do so in the future, or simply want to be able to come alongside other parents in your church to help and encourage them, you will definitely benefit from this conversation.
In this episode, Elizabeth Faulkner sat down with Mark Gregston—cofounder of Heartlight Ministries and Parenting Today’s Teens—to talk about what the most important thing to know is about parenting teenagers.
