    The Surprising Genius of Jesus with Peter Williams

    Why didn't Jesus write anything down himself? How many languages did Jesus speak? Jesus was a master storyteller, what can we learn from how Jesus taught and connected with different audiences? In this fascinating interview, Jonathan Morrow interviews Cambridge scholar Dr. Peter Williams on the profound creativity and wisdom of Jesus including how the story of the prodigal son illuminates Jesus’s genius.

    In The Surprising Genius of Jesus, Peter J. Williams examines the story of the prodigal son in Luke 15 to show the genius, creativity, and wisdom of Jesus’s teachings. He used simple but powerful stories to confront the Pharisees and scribes of the day, drawing on his knowledge of the Jewish Scriptures to teach his audience through complex layers and themes. Williams challenges those who question whether Jesus really was the source of the parables recorded in the Gospels, pointing readers to the truth of who Jesus is and why that matters for them today.

Williams (PhD, University of Cambridge) is the principal of Tyndale House, Cambridge, the chair of the International Greek New Testament Project, and a member of the ESV Translation Oversight Committee.

    Radical Like Jesus with Greg Stier

    You are meant for more. God has called you to live a radical life for Him―one that makes a lasting impact on this world. Like Jesus did. But how is this possible? In this Interview Jonathan Morrow talks with Greg Stier about how to practically do this.

    There’s never been anyone in history as radical as Jesus. From the way that He prayed, to how He interacted with sinners, to His sacrificial death on the cross, Jesus was a revolutionary. It’s just who He was. As His followers we are called to be like him. It’s not just something we should aspire to, it’s a reality that we must strive for every day. We can live as Jesus did – be radical like He was – because as Christians, Jesus lives in us and wants to live through us. When Jesus lives his life through us, we begin to do the things that He did. And that’s what Radical Like Jesus is all about – putting into practice the rhythms, activities and actions that Jesus modeled throughout His life.

    Who Will the Future Ministry Leaders in the Church Be? An Interview with Shane Pruitt and Scott Pace

    Who will the future ministry leaders in the Church be?  There are more protestant pastors over the age of 65 than there are under the age of 40. There is a leadership vacuum in the local church. Where are all of the young leaders in the local church? Is the next generation being challenged to consider if God is calling them to serve in the local church context?

    In this podcast, Jonathan interviews Shane Pruitt and Scott Pace on Calling Out the Called .

    Ministry leaders are called to teach, serve, and lead. But in leading those under their care, there comes a moment when they recognize the future leaders under their leadership. With this recognition comes an all too familiar question: What comes next?

    In Calling Out the Called, Scott Pace and Shane Pruitt answer this question by giving direction, encouragement, and a charge for ministry leaders to recognize the future leaders in their midst and do what needs to be done for the future of ministry: the calling out of the called.

    Shane Pruitt serves as the National Next Gen Director for the North American Mission Board (NAMB). He and his wife, Kasi, reside in Rockwall, TX with their six children – Raygen, Harper, Titus, Morris, Elliot, & Glory. He has been in ministry for over 20 years as a church planter, lead pastor, and student pastor. He holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Biblical Studies, and a Master’s Degree in History.

    Scott Pace currently serves as the Provost and Dean of Graduate Studies at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, NC where he also teaches as Associate Professor of Preaching and Pastoral Ministry. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Accounting from North Carolina State University, a M.Div. and Ph.D. in Applied Theology from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. His ministry as a pastor has extended over 20 years in a variety of full-time and interim capacities through three states. He has been married to his wife, Dana, since 1999. They have four children, Gracelyn, Tyler, and Tessa, and Cassie.
