For thousands of years humanity has struggled with the riddle of just how to help those with addiction, but meaningful treatment was elusive in the early 1900s.  A group of desperate alcoholics developed a spiritual answer to what was newly being called a disease. We know them as AA.

Sasha is a missionary that CCV supports, he is the founder of and CEO of the International Center of Fatherhood in Ukraine. And his ministry was all about helping fathers in his country of Ukraine. Many of those fathers work away from the home for extended periods of time, therefore creating a void for fathers. And his ministry focuses on that with his team there. And then everything changed.

In February of 2022, the Ukraine war broke out and his life changed and his ministry changed. We interviewed Sasha in Episodes 3 & 4 when the war broke out. Now, 18 months later we will hear what life is like now in Ukraine.

Retirement is generally recognized as a part of the American Dream. Not mine by the way.  We grow up, we work, we retire, and we die. It’s just another part of the rhythm of life. But is the hope of an easy life of retirement something Christians should cling to?
Not according to Mike McClain a long time friend who is as active as ever leading people to Christ. 


The model that the culture seems to point toward for retirement (at least if I can trust the ads on television) is one of complete leisure, once I quit working, for the rest of my life.


Yet even before sin came into the world, God told us to work,  (Gen 1:28). Idleness and dissipation do not appear to be a part of the divine design for humans.


In fact, the model of retirement that is built around limitless leisure seems to undermine God’s design for human existence.


Mike will share how God is using him in a time that world says to retire.

Today Julia Hernandez shares with us her preparation to lead a trip of 8 CCV goers as they head to Ancona, Italy to talk with people there about Jesus Christ. We will explore Zume Discipleship training (found in our shownotes).

Matthew 28:18-20 - "Jesus came and spoke to the eleven disciples, saying: 'All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and surely, I am with you always, to the very end of the age.'

The act of teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you through Christ with others in public settings using Wisdom and considering all culturally, socially, and legally permissible techniques is known as biblical street evangelism.
Our personal opinions are irrelevant, and as Christians, we must always be prepared to accept the Truth, even when it contradicts everything we have been taught and believed to be true up until the moment the Truth arrives to upend all previous false beliefs. As Christians, we should embrace the Truth rather than be fearful of it!

Acts 20:28-30 NIV
 
Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood. I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock.


Today we will be talking with Rich Wooten, Director Safety and Security Director Safety and Security at CCV. Rich has been with CCV for 6 years. Prior to that Rich was the Security Manager Security Manager for the National Football League in New York, New York, Rich also retired from as a Police Detective for City of Phoenix after 26 years.

The vast majority of churches won't experience a terrorist or shooter attack, but other situations are more frequent, and church leaders need to have a security plan and staff in place to protect their flock. Alarm systems, security personnel, and video surveillance are simply a few components of the solution.


If CCV or any church doesn't feel safe and secure, they can forget the purpose of your church and the message of God. Every church needs a security strategy that outlines what the staff, church leaders, security personnel, and our attendees should do in case of emergency.
