    Bob Lehman, Executive Director of Leadership Impact, Missions Door: Do You Want to Make a Point or Do You Want to Make a Difference?

    The return of "What About?" Wednesdays! Text us your questions for apologist and pastor Robby Lashua! As a director within Missions Door, Bob Lehman has a span of ministerial impact that is VERY impressive.  As the founding pastor of two unique church plants, his commitment to the community of the local church is BEYOND impressive. But, what spurs incredulity is that he has the passion and drive to maintain both. Where was that passion born?  At what point did he realize that God's call on his life would be so vast and encompassing?  What steps did he take and what spiritual disciplines does he maintain so that he remains attentive to God's lead as he leads?  These questions are what drive an extremely insightful Kingdom Culture Conversation with a man that many call a "pastor's pastor". For more information on Missions Door, please follow this link. To discover more about Bob's home church where he both leads and learns, please click here:  SonoranChapel.com "Kingdom Culture Conversations" is a podcast created by Northwest Christian School in Phoenix, Arizona.

    Steven [REDACTED]: Anonymously Working to Stem the Overwhelming Tide of Sex Trafficking in Cambodia

    The return of "What About?" Wednesdays! Text us your questions for apologist and pastor Robby Lashua! The U.S. Department of State describes the problem in jarringly acute terms:  "The Government of Cambodia does not fully meet the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking and is not making significant efforts to do so.  Despite the lack of significant efforts, the government took some steps to address trafficking, including opening a victim support center, cooperating with foreign governments on anti-trafficking investigations, and launching an online trafficking victim identification training course available to government officials. However, corruption and official complicity – including by high-level senior government officials – in trafficking crimes remained widespread and endemic during the reporting period; this included the exploitation of tens of thousands of victims in forced criminality in online scam operations in Cambodia. Officials actively impeded countervailing efforts, including reportedly undermining anti-trafficking law enforcement and victim protection efforts and dispelling reported accusations through minimization and denial in public messaging of the prevalence and severity of online scam operations, including reports of government complicity." It's for this reason that "Steven's" last name is redacted.  A young man, faithful to being attentive to God's voice, standing in the gap and, in spite of the threat of harm and the potential dangers, working to rescue children from within a culture entrenched in forced slavery and sex trafficking... Today, in a Kingdom Culture Conversation that you will not soon forget, you have the chance to hear about this young man's earnest pursuit of his calling, his first steps of obedience into a space rife with danger, and the success that he is encountering as he learns to wholly lean on God's provision and direction.

    Mark Reiswig, Eighth Grade Bible Teacher, Northwest Christian School: Candid Conversations about the Secondary Bible Program (Part 2)

    The return of "What About?" Wednesdays! Text us your questions for apologist and pastor Robby Lashua! Each year, the Northwest Christian School Board enjoys a session with the entire Northwest Christian secondary Bible team.  The open-ended conversation includes highs and lows, strengths and weaknesses, and a focus on whether or not the program is truly impacting students and helping them to develop a Biblical worldview. Following the January 2026 version of the conversation, we recognized that we wanted to take it further and, in the spirit of transparency and authenticity, open it up for all to hear and participate.  As a result, over the next several weeks and months, Kingdom Culture Conversations is going to take the time to walk through these conversations with each of the school's secondary Bible teachers. Today, we continue this journey with Mark Reiswig who is in his third year of teaching eighth grade Bible.  A former missionary and pastor, Mark's commitment to curriculum and care for his students is beyond inspiring. "Kingdom Culture Conversations" is a podcast created by Northwest Christian School in Phoenix, Arizona.

    Billy Hutchinson, Director of Colson Educators, Colson Center for Christian Worldview: Northwest Christian School is a Colson Center Academic Affiliate. What does that mean?

    The return of "What About?" Wednesdays! Text us your questions for apologist and pastor Robby Lashua! For the past three years, Northwest Christian School has helped spearhead a "pilot" program within the Colson Center for Christian Worldview:  the Colson Educators Academic Affiliation.  Every teacher has enjoyed training in Biblical worldview and nearly forty teachers, administrators, and staff have opted into a yearlong, deep-dive into Christian worldview through the Colson Fellows program. It all sounds very impressive.  But what, specifically, does it mean? Today, we are joined by Billy Hutchinson, the Director of the Colson Center's Colson Educators program, who walks us through the training, the pilot program, and what it all means for the culture and community of Northwest Christian School. For more information on the Colson Center for Christian Worldview, click here. To learn about the Colson Educators programs and opportunities, follow this link.

    Brooke Brown, Ms. Wheelchair Arizona, Author, and Founder, Butterfly Touch: Sharing Inspiration through Testimony and Story

    The return of "What About?" Wednesdays! Text us your questions for apologist and pastor Robby Lashua! To say that Brooke Brown is an inspiration is an understatement. As she spoke to Northwest Christian secondary students in two chapels during January 2026, the room was completely quiet.  "Speaking" from a wheelchair, using a voice augmentation app, Brooke held two different 600+ audiences completely spellbound. Her message was profoundly simple and two-fold.  First, when you first meet a person, like her, who is atypically abled, assume competence.  Second, all of us typically or atypically abled, are Imago Dei -- carefully crafted by a Creator, in His image and likeness. Today, you have the opportunity to take this chapel message further and to hear, within a Kingdom Culture Conversation, about Brooke, her life, her cerebral palsy, and the unbelievable courage that drives her forward within her story. To learn more about Brooke, please visit this site. To learn about her ministry and storytelling services, please click here. Trust us, you want to read her recently publish memoir...follow this link to order. "Kingdom Culture Conversations" is a podcast created by Northwest Christian School in Phoenix, Arizona.

    Joe Infranco, Adult Education Pastor, Highlands Church: Special Needs Ministry, Blurry Creatures, and The Telepathy Tapes

    The return of "What About?" Wednesdays! Text us your questions for apologist and pastor Robby Lashua! Do not push play!  Do what you must do to skip this episode! That would be the advice offered by Northwest Christian superintendent and Kingdom Culture Conversation co-host Geoff Brown. Why? Because this particular episode of Kingdom Culture Conversations will blow your mind.  Or, if not your mind, it just might blow up the convenient buffer that many Evangelical Christians have placed between themselves and the spiritual realm.  Although Scripture is filled with references to and stories about angels, demons, and a vast spiritual cosmology, for most of us, that reality remains unconsidered and unexplored. And, in some (perhaps most?) instances, for good reason.  We abide within a culture infatuated with demonic darkness in horror movies, music, television, books, podcasts, and more.  At times, it seems as though the only safe harbor to sail within the spiritual realm is truly anchored within the word of God. So, as today's episode launches into Joe Infranco's experiences with some special needs students who are describing engagement with the ethereal, God's word remains our lifeline. But, should you choose to hit play, make sure you have God's word handy, and be prepared to be challenged to think Biblically and critically!

    The return of "What About?" Wednesdays! Text us your questions for apologist and pastor Robby Lashua! An open invitation. That is the best way to describe the Kingdom Culture Conversation that you are about to hear. Today, we are joined by two NCS secondary teachers that are actively involved in training and supporting the community of staff and students at the City of Joy Christian School is Rwanda.  You will have the opportunity to hear how God directed their steps - in powerfully surprising ways - to see them become active in this African community.  You will also learn how they are seeing, from a firsthand perspective, God move mightily in the lives of those that, in other instance, would be written off and neglected.
