Advancing the Mission

Episode 196: Pastor Kenneth

This week on Advancing the Mission, I interviewed my friend Pastor Kenneth while we were at the 3WLN conference in Switzerland. Kenneth and his family run the Agape Faith United ministry in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. I have sat on their board for the last two years or so. This is an incredibly unique ministry where the gospel is taken all over the world!

Episode 195: Pastor Stu Kruse

This week on Advancing the Mission, I talk with our fearless leader, Stuart Kruse. This is a conversation that Pastor Stu and I had while still in Switzerland at the 3WLN conference. This was great to hear some of what Stu was processing and learning about Three Worlds and how he was beginning to gain some new perspective about ministry on this side of the World.

Episode 194: Mother’s Day Special - My wife, STACI KACZMAREK

This week on Advancing the Mission is our Mother’s Day Special, and I am interviewing MY WIFE!  Staci and I have been married for 12 years and have 3 children.  Listen as I ask Staci about her unique experience as a mom and how she navigates working full-time, being an amazing mother, and wife!  

Episode 193: Saeed Milan

This week on Advancing the Mission, I interview my newest friend, Saeed Milan. I met Saeed while at the 3WLN conference in Switzerland. He is involved in a fantastic ministry in Lebanon called Warm Heart. You will hear about what they do and how they get involved in relief efforts in the country.

Episode 192: REPLAY of 3WLN 2022

This week on Advancing the Mission, we are replaying an interview done back in 2022 when Three Worlds held their last 3WLN conference. This is a great overview of the what and why of this conference (which Pastor Chris and Stu are currently attending).

Episode 191: Nate Tatman

This week on Advancing the Mission, we interview Nate Tatman. Nate is the Regional Coordinator for Europe and the Middle East as a missionary with the Church of God. We sit down with him today to hear the long-term goals of the 3WLN Conference that is put on every 18 months as a way to encourage young leaders and pastors in the region.

Episode 190: 3WLN - Christy Kihm

This week on Advancing the Mission we will begin talking about 3WLN, a conference that is put on in Interlaken, Switzerland every 18 months. Listen as Christy Kihm talks to us about what goes into the planning for this conference. Over the next month you will hear interviews from different leaders and missionaries talk about Three Worlds.

Episode 189: Lead up to Easter - Resurrection

This week on Advancing the Mission, we conclude our three-week series on Easter. We talk about and read about the Resurrection and talk about it from the point of view from the disciples and how they might have felt during that time.

Episode 188: Lead up to Easter - Jesus’ Crucifixion

This week on Advancing the Mission, we talk about Jesus' death on a cross and briefly touch on Peter's denial. This week we are really focusing on what this meant from the disciples point of view. We reflect on the sorrow and pain they were feeling as they waited for Jesus to return (which we will talk about next week).

Episode 187: Lead up to Easter - Surrender

This week on Advancing the Mission, we talk about surrender as a sign of strength rather than weakness as we lead up to Jesus' death and resurrection. The following two weeks we will be reading the story in Scripture of His Crucifixion and Resurrection and talking about the importance of that in our lives as followers of Jesus.
