Vision for Small & Ordinary Places with Kay Daigle
As we begin a New Year, leaders often focus on vision--vision for the church, vision for a ministry, vision for launching something new. But did you realize that vision isn't necessarily about big ideas and lots of people? We each need vision for the ordinary places where we encounter people whom we influence--our children, families, friends, co-workers, neighbors and broader community. In this podcast I talk about that kind of vision that everyone needs to discover. You can access the video if you prefer.

Biblical Manhood and Womanhood with Dr. Sandra Glahn
Most Christians agree that men and women differ by beautiful design. But does that mean we need to study how we differ (e.g., women tend to talk more than men; men tend to talk in private more than in public) and “respect” those differences by seeking to conform to a standard of masculinity or femininity? What does it mean when some say we must be “faithful to our gender”? What’s biblical and what’s cultural? How do we live faithfully embodied as male and female?
Dr. Sandra Glahn shares her expertise with host Sharifa Stevens in this podcast of the Zoom conversation from BOW. You can watch by video if you prefer.
