Embracing All Generations in Worship: Kyle Popineau
Leading corporate worship extends beyond song choice and musical arrangement. Beyond spending time alone with God, Kyle points to another key component: developing healthy relationships with those you are leading.
Worship, designed to be so pure, unifying and relational, has sadly become a source of frustration and conflict in many churches, especially among older adults.
Kyle points out that our best worship may be unseen, as we commune one-on-one with God. The best corporate worship experiences naturally flow from genuine relationships with God AND also from mutual respect and trust on a human level. As a worship leader, Kyle finds when he takes time to show a genuine interest in older adults, they'll be more engaged in worship.
This podcast is an invitation to both worship leaders and older adults. Take the time to get to know each other! You will both benefit, and worship is so much richer when relationships between generations are healthy.
Helping the World's Most Vulnerable: Bob & Charlene Pagett
The Pagetts are living examples of hearts wholeheartedly committed to immersing themselves in the lives of the poorest and most needy.
At the age of 51, Bob Pagett, along with his wife Char, resigned from pastoring in Santa Cruz, California. At that time, walls were falling in Eastern Europe, and new doors were opening.
God took their heart for missions and resilience from personal tragedy and illness, calling them to speak up for those who were unable to speak for themselves. The ministry of Assist International was birthed, and over the last 25 years countless lives have been touched around the world.
Bob & Char exemplify passionate and fruitful living on the north side of 50. May their hearts of passion touch all who listen to this podcast. As they emphasize, this is not just about former pastors becoming missionaries. God calls ALL OF US to serve Him in a variety of ways for His glory.
Ten Thousand Reasons: Erica Capri
This dramatic testimony shared by Erica Capri about her husband Joe is inspiring on many levels.
Need a reason to believe people in their seventies and later can become increasingly fruitful?
How 'bout 10,000 reasons?!
Ever wonder if people over fifty can be reached for Christ?
Need a reason to believe people in their seventies and later can become increasingly fruitful?
How 'bout 10,000 reasons?!
Our special thanks to Pastor Norm Thomas at Valley Assembly in Spokane Valley, WA for assisting in the recording of Erica & Joe's testimony.
This dramatic testimony shared by Erica Capri about her husband Joe is inspiring on many levels. We've shared Joe's story in writing earlier, but now hear it firsthand from the lips of our precious friend Erica.
Consider personally how you might respond to an ultimatum similar to: "Serve Me now or I'll take you home." As powerful as Joe's personal conversion testimony was, we're so glad the story didn't stop there.
Please share this podcast to help stir hearts toward greater disciple-making in life's later years. The potential is enormous!
