Not Beyond Reach — Why and How We Can Engage with Those Far from God (Aaron Pierce)

Episode 41

Thursday, February 6, 2025 • Duration 39:54

In this episode, we explore the origins and mission of Steiger, a radical international missionary movement that began with a punk priest in Amsterdam reaching ‘lost sheep.’ Steiger emphasizes the power of preaching the cross through creative and visual methods and has grown into a global movement. The discussion delves into the challenges of communicating truth in a world shaped by the “Macdonaldisation of the Church” and the complex landscape of global youth culture. We tackle the confusion of identity in today’s society, exacerbated by secular humanism and the isolating mantra of “my truth,” which have contributed to a world filled with loneliness, confusion, anxiety, and brokenness. Key topics include: •Engaging a post-Christian, overcrowded context with creativity and authenticity •Having spiritual conversations in a skeptical age •The necessity of focusing on Jesus rather than relying on “big names” •The Send as a means to mobilize a movement and this year’s LAUNCH event, which aims to equip and release leaders like never before Inspiring stories from Oslo and Saudi Arabia illustrate how a holy discontent can fuel transformative action.

Unleashing the Word and Spirit through the church

Episode 40

Friday, January 17, 2025 • Duration 44:10

Church Leadership – local, national and global

Anthony and Ness discuss the challenges and opportunities of leading a church and a network of churches. Ness expressed her gratitude for being able to lead a local church and a network, as it allows her to connect with the complexities of church leadership and pass on her experiences.

They also touched on the importance of humility, love, and grace in navigating pastoral issues within the next generation in church.

Church Leadership Models and Adaptation

Anthony and Ness discuss the future of church leadership and models. They agreed that the church should not professionalise leadership but should instead train and invest in leadership gifts. They also discussed the importance of understanding the context and culture to which they are called.

Ness mentioned that Pioneer Church does not have a one-size-fits-all model, but rather adapts to the specific setting and context of each church or church plant. They also touched on the success of a bilingual model at Lighthouse Church, Anglesey. Anthony shared his positive experience visiting Lighthouse Church with his wife Zoe.

Embracing Spiritual Gifts in Ministry

They discuss the importance of embracing the spiritual gifts in their ministry. Ness emphasised the need for a high view of the spiritual gifts, proper training, and boundaries to ensure their effective use. She also highlighted the importance of creating space for these gifts and modeling good practice. They also stressed the significance of holding a high view of Scripture and honoring God's word and expressed a growing conviction about the centrality of the Word of God in their ministry.

Bible Reading as Discipleship Tool

Ness shared a story about a 22-year-old electrician who became a Christian after reading the King James version of the Bible. This experience inspired Ness to give away more Bibles and to encourage people to read the Bible with others. To facilitate this, they placed a QR code sticker in the front of the Bibles, directing people to a link for meeting up with someone to read the Bible together.

“COP AND ROBBER” Paul Lloyd in conversation with Anthony Delaney

Episode 39

Thursday, September 26, 2024 • Duration 01:07:46

Paul Lloyd with his wife Vicky leads Victory Outreach Church in Salford and they travel globally as part of that incredible ministry.

He had a background in combat sports but after an injury in his teens he fell into depression which took him into the world of Eastend and Essex gangs, heroin addiction and crime. He talks with ex-cop Anthony about why people get addicted and how at 27 years of age he was set free by Jesus Christ after in his hour of need a prizefighter friend told him the good news.

Their time together is profoundly hopeful as Paul describes the hopelessness of atheism and scientism to change lives for good, and why “the church must not just bring a message of lifestyle change, but life exchange!” It just gets better after that bit - so cut out an hour for this fantastic, humorous episode and help us share the hope by liking, reviewing, sharing and subscribing.
