Impact 360 Institute Jonathan Morrow

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: Discipling Those Called to Ministry Leadership. 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.

How Should Christians Think About Critical Theory? In this Interview with Neil Shenvi and Pat Sawyer, Jonathan Morrow helps us understand what critical theory is, why it is not biblical, and how critical theory and the secular social justice movement is influencing the church, culture, and the next generation.

How do you use questions to answer the hardest challenges to Christian faith? When we have spiritual conversations we need to be prepared to be both gardeners and harvesters. Both are critical skills to develop for the disciple of Jesus. Greg Koukl is a master gardener. Jonathan interviews Greg Koukl on his newest book Street Smarts: Using Questions to Answer Christianity's Toughest Challenges. Greg is back on the podcast as a follow up to his book Tactics to help Christians better engage in productive conversations and to handle tough challenges in a straight-forward and a user friendly way, providing practice tools to have spiritual conversations.

Modern culture is increasingly outspoken against a biblical worldview. Jonathan interviews Dr. Rosaria Butterfield on her newest book Five Lies of Our Anti-Christian Age to share the unpopular truths our culture needs to hear. In this interview, Rosaria Butterfield uses Scripture to confront 5 common lies about sexuality, faith, feminism, gender roles, and modesty often promoted in our secular culture today. This conversation explores Butterfield’s personal battle with these lies—interwoven with cultural studies, literary criticism, and theology—to help readers see the beauty in biblical womanhood, marriage, and motherhood.

Who were the characters of Christmas? In this interview, Jonathan talks with Daniel Darling and takes readers back to the time of Christ’s birth, looking at the unusual group of misfits, societal outcasts, and often overlooked characters in the Christmas story.

Are Atheists Finding God? Yes! In this episode, Jonathan Morrow interviews Jana Harmon, the author of "Atheists Finding God: Unlikely Stories of Conversions to Christianity in the Contemporary West," on findings drawn from PhD-based research evaluating a broad range of functional and substantive variables influencing religious conversion. Data was collected by both surveying and interviewing fifty educated, skeptical atheists in the contemporary West who once held belief in God and Christianity as implausible, unattractive, and irrelevant. Yet, they became utterly convinced that the Christian faith was true and good, worth personal life commitment.
