Small Shrimp + Big Faith in Honduras, with Jeremy Wainwright – EM278
Season 1 · Episode 278
Wednesday, March 10, 2021 • Duration 41:50
Isn't it just like God to use something seemingly small, like shrimp, to make a MASSIVE impact in the Kingdom? It might seem like Jeremy Wainwright just suddenly decided to make a change, but really, God was working in his heart long before his friend said, "Would you like to go to Honduras?" It didn't take him long to decide that this was the opportunity God was giving him and that trip changed EVERYTHING. Now Jeremy has started Shrimp Matters and is actively working with partners in the United States as well as Honduras to bring sustainable shrimp farming to communities. His work, despite the challenges of COVID-19, is making a difference, and he believes that God has more! It was exciting to talk with Jeremy and I believe you'll be as encouraged as I was.

The Power of God’s Word and an Audio Bible Voiced by Women, with Ann White – EM268
Season 1 · Episode 268
Wednesday, September 18, 2019 • Duration 40:15
When Jesus rose and returned to the Father, He left us the Holy Spirit and the Scriptures. For some people, hearing the Bible read in a woman’s voice is the best way for them to come and know Jesus. On this episode, Ann White joins to talk about her story and how she became interested in making a female audio Bible.
Through processing her own trauma and working with incarcerated women, Ann found the need for people to hear the Bible in a woman’s voice. She shares about the importance of Scripture for everyday life. By making the Bible accessible for people, more are able to hear about the amazing love of God and what He’s done for them.

Refugee, Gangbanger, Missionary: How to See With Eyes of Faith, with Tobias – EM162
Season 1 · Episode 162
Wednesday, October 26, 2016 • Duration 54:24
Tobias came to the United States as a refugee. As a teenager, he was an angry gangbanger until God transformed his life. Now he's a missionary to Southeast Asia, watching God do amazing things.
A former gangbanger turned missionary (we’ll call him Tobias) joins us today to talk about his ministry experiences in Southeast Asia as well as his personal testimony. Having grown up as a refugee in the States, he knows what it is like to be seen as the outsider. Thankfully, God placed a Christian couple in his life who shared the Good News of what Christ had done. From God’s work in his life, he left the life of drugs and violence to follow Jesus.
Tobias now works in a southeastern area of Asia, bringing the story of Jesus to different people groups. In the episode, he discusses the importance of understanding the cultural context and also encourages us to find cross-cultural experience in our very own neighborhoods. His passion for making disciples for the Kingdom is evident as he shares his stories and experiences.

How to Hunger and Thirst for Justice in a Community, with Gena Thomas, Author of A Smoldering Wick – EM161
Season 1 · Episode 161
Wednesday, October 19, 2016 • Duration 40:56
Many approach missions and aid work from the foundation of charity. Gena Thomas shares how the foundation of justice is better. Listen for practical tips and powerful concepts to make your next missions trip better.
Learning to seek justice for a community can be extremely messy, but also beautiful and balanced. Gena Thomas joins us to talk about pursuing right relationships with short-term missions and missions in general. The topics throughout the episode come primarily from her new book, A Smoldering Wick, which focuses on charity versus justice within the missions world.
Her ideas and thoughts bring to light the issues that come from simply giving handouts to the poor. We tend to see ourselves as having more than them, which makes the relationship imbalanced. A just and righteous form of missions, however, brings about “right relationships.” Gena clearly presents how we as believers can seek such justice and why it is so crucial to the Gospel of Christ.
