One At A Time, with Kyle Idleman

On this episode of One at a Time, Kyle Idleman sits down with Daniel, a missionary from west Africa. We can't share Daniel's name because he's in dangerous places and we need to keep him anonymous.Daniel shares stories of how thousands of muslims have come to know Jesus, one person at a time, one commitment at a time. Daniel's story is an incredible example of how the message of Jesus breaks through barriers of culture and religion. Through trials and tribulation, Daniel has endured to bring the gospel to people who might never hear it if he didn't stay in hard places.   Produced by Narrativo Group Executive Produced by Kyle Idleman and Cary Meyer Edited and mixed by Mike Cosper Music by Dan Phelps

This week Kyle talks to Chris and Carolyn Heinz about the faithfulness of God during difficult circumstances. "I Say to Myself" is a part of the Lamentation series Kyle has been preaching. Kyle explores what it is like for people to find beauty in the redeeming work of God in their lives, and challenges believers to trust that God's mercies are new every morning. In 2012 Chris and Carolyn reached a breaking point in their marriage. Chris was overcome by his addiction to alcohol and prescription medication and was hiding it from Carolyn. It wasn't until Chris lost his high-paying job in Los Angeles, where they were living at the time, that Carolyn saw how Chris' addiction had escalated. Carolyn told Chris that she would only remain married to him if he were willing to attend church with her. They went to church the very next day and continued going. Their story is about healing and the redeeming work of God to restore and make new what was once broken.  Credits: Produced by Narrativo Executive produced by Kyle Idleman and Cary Meyer Edited and Mixed by Mike Cosper Theme Song by Dan Phelps  

This week Kyle talks to Jana Robey about the phrase, "I Call to Mind" from Lamentations 3. "Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope". Despite affliction we can call upon and find our hope in the everlasting love of our heavenly father. Kyle has known Jana and her family since she was a kindergartener in class with his daughter. Jana has shown an outward joy in spite of a rare cancer diagnosis in her spine at the age of 15. Enduring 37 radiation treatments as well as chemotherapy, Jana managed to focus on the love and support of friends and family and the incredible mercy of God. Jana has written worship songs about her experience and continues to place her trust in Christ amidst her hardship. "I Call to Mind" is a reminder to hope in the things that are yet to come.  Credits: Produced by Narrativo Executive produced by Kyle Idleman and Cary Meyer Edited and Mixed by Mike Cosper Theme Song by Dan Phelps

Continuing our Mantra Series, this week's episode looks at the mantra "Empty the Jar." Kyle challenges listeners to be engaged where God is calling them with compassion and love. He looks to Luke 7:36 as an example where we see Jesus' compassion for the woman anointing his feet. On this episode, Kyle talks to Jeanne Allert, founder of The Samaritan Women, a Baltimore nonprofit organization that provides restorative care for victims of sex trafficking. Jeanne talks about her personal mantra being from Luke 12:48; To whom much is given, much is expected. Jeanne was led by the Holy Spirit to do something after meeting a woman by the name of Heather who shared how she had been discarded on the streets of Baltimore by her mother's ex-boyfriend.  Kyle encourages believers to set aside judgement as Jesus did, be compassionate as Jesus was and to be "extravagantly generous" to what God is calling us to as we "Empty the Jar".   Learn more about The Samaritan Women at: https://instituteforsheltercare.org/mission/ Credits: One at a time is a production of Narrativo.

Continuing our Mantra Series, this week's episode looks at the mantra "Grip the Plow." With this idea, we're challenging believers to get their hands into ministry for the Kingdom. In particular, we're going to revisit the ministry of Tony and Kim Cash, who you may remember from episode 6 of season 1. On that episode, we heard about how God saved Tony from a life of violent crime and called him to be a missionary – a disciple who makes disciples. We also heard how Tony brought he and Kim together to be partners in ministry.   On this episode, we'll hear about what God has done since then through them. Their ministry in the prison system has led to more than 140 baptisms, many of which are the result of recent converts who've shared the gospel with others and produced second, third, and fourth generation Christians. Their testimony is a powerful and encouraging picture of what it means to "Grip the Plow."   Learn more about the Cash's ministry at www.tonyandkimcash.com   Credits:   One at a time is a production of Narrativo.

Continuing with our series of Mantras, in this episode Kyle explores what it means to "Wreck the Roof," reflecting on the story from the gospels in which a group of friends tears a roof off a house to bring their paralyzed friend to Jesus. He talks with Shawn Arvin from Love City, a ministry in the Portland neighborhood of Louisville that is doing some outstanding outreach work for their neighbors. Love City opened a preschool for the children in the neighborhood and a restaurant that employs people from the neighborhood, started two urban farms, and have revitalized Portland's Westonia Park. They also reflect on how  God cares for people "one at a time" through Shawn's story about God pursuing him until he came to faith in Christ and who now pursues others to share the good news of Christ.    Credits: Produced by Narrativo Executive Produced by Kyle Idleman and Cary Meyer Edited and Mixed by Mike Cosper Music by Dan Phelps

At Southeast, we're in the middle of a sermon series called "Mantra", in which we're exploring phrases that we hope shape the life and character of our church. This week's mantra is "Catch the Wind." In the gospels, Jesus compares the Holy Spirit to the wind, teaching us to value adventure and action over safety and comfort. Our guests on this episode, Matt and Kristi Robison, know what it's like to catch the wind. Their story is one of how God led them step-by-step through adoption, through several moves that were unforeseen, and to launch Hope Place in Louisville, Kentucky. It's a story of faith and of God's faithfulness, of leaning on the Holy Spirit, and living like sails that catch the wind. You can learn more about Hope Place here.
