    The Pearl of the Orient: What God Is Doing in the Philippines | E45

    Steve just got back from the Philippines, and he came home with stories. In this episode, he and Leanne unpack the global pastor training crisis—why 95% of pastors in the majority world have no formal training, and why traditional Western education isn’t going to fix it on its own. Then they get into what actually happened on the ground: a Bible college partnership that came together over a cup of coffee at Jollibee’s, twenty pastors who couldn’t wait to get started, and a model of multiplication that’s designed to outlast any one organization. If you’ve ever wondered what 21C actually does and why it works, this is the episode. ________________________________ Connect with Leanne on LinkedIn or via email at leanne@21cinternational.org.

    From a Ghost Town to a Gospel Movement: Pastor Oscar and the Church in Zambia | E44

    This is one of those episodes where you’ll want to sit down and just listen. Pastor Oscar from Bread of Life Church in Kabwe, Zambia has one of the most extraordinary stories we’ve heard on the podcast—from skipping high school classes to read his New Testament in a tree, to walking away from a telecom engineering career the day he was promoted, to watching his infant son declared dead by two doctors and then hearing the words “baby alive” thirty minutes later. But what makes this conversation so powerful isn’t just the dramatic moments. It’s the picture Oscar paints of a church that is hungry, prayerful, and completely serious about being the church Jesus described in the book of Acts. ________________________________ Connect with Leanne on LinkedIn or via email at leanne@21cinternational.org.

    He Sold His House to Say Yes: Jonathan Tshimwang’s Journey from Congo to 21C | E43

    This week, Leanne sits down with Jonathan Tshimwang—21C International’s very first intern. Jonathan grew up in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, watched his mom hold the family together through incredible hardship after his parents’ divorce, and eventually followed God’s call from church planting in Tanzania all the way to Moody Bible Institute in Chicago—selling his house to make it happen. His story is one of those that makes you sit back and think, “Would I have said yes to that?” It’s honest, it’s moving, and it’s a powerful reminder that God doesn’t waste a single step of the journey. ________________________________ Connect with Leanne on LinkedIn or via email at leanne@21cinternational.org.

    Roots, Trunks, and Branches: Rethinking What It Means to Make Disciples | E42

    In this episode, Leanne sits down with Andrew Underwood of Nexus International to explore what it really means to make disciples—and why programs alone aren’t cutting it. Andrew shares his own story of being shaped by an intentional youth pastor, his journey through camp ministry and missions in Central Asia, and how he landed at Nexus, an organization committed to starting and sustaining movements of disciple making with a particular focus on the next generation. From a powerful COVID-era story out of Mauritius to the biblical image of a tree, this conversation will challenge you to rethink discipleship and take your next relational step. ________________________________ Connect with Leanne on LinkedIn or via email at leanne@21cinternational.org.

    From Refugee Camp to Revival: How Pastor Moses Is Bringing Hope to South Sudan | E40

    What John 12 Teaches Us About Surrender, Sacrifice, and Living on Mission | E39

    What does it really mean to surrender to Jesus? And what does surrender have to do with missions? In this special teaching episode of On the Move, host Leanne White steps away from the interview format to walk us through John chapter 12—one of the most vivid and emotionally rich chapters in the Gospels. Through every scene, Leanne traces a single, powerful theme: the call to live with open hands. In this episode, you'll discover: How Mary's extravagant act of worship models what true surrender looks like—and why love often looks inefficientThe contrast between Mary's open hands and Judas's clenched fists—and what it reveals about our own heartsWhy the crowds at the triumphal entry were celebrating but still holding tightly to their own expectationsThe paradox at the heart of discipleship: we find life not by gripping it, but by entrusting it to ChristJesus's teaching on the kernel of wheat—why death precedes fruitfulness in God's kingdomHow every gospel advance in history has followed the same pattern: someone surrendered, someone trusted, and God brought lifeThe inspiring story of Pastor Moses from South Sudan—from refugee settlement to leading pastoral trainingWhether you're in a season of uncertainty, transition, or quiet faithfulness, this episode is a gentle and powerful reminder: a surrendered life is never wasted. It bears fruit that lasts for eternity. ________________________________ Connect with Leanne on LinkedIn or via email at leanne@21cinternational.org.

    The Fastest Growing Church You've Never Heard Of: Faith, Persecution, and Hope in Iran | E38

    In Iran, the church doesn't just survive - it thrives. In this episode, Leanne White sits down with Lana Silk, CEO of Transform Iran, to explore the remarkable spiritual awakening happening inside one of the world's most restrictive nations. Born into a Christian family in Iran, Lana shares her parents' dramatic story of being called to leave Iran in 1988, only to discover God's plan to use them to resource and strengthen a rapidly growing underground church from abroad. From satellite TV and radio to a groundbreaking Christian AI tool called Kairos, Transform Iran is finding innovative ways to evangelize, disciple, and transform lives—all while navigating government surveillance, honor-shame culture, and the constant threat of imprisonment. Lana also shares a powerful testimony of a former atheist and alcoholic who encountered Jesus through the Sermon on the Mount, and whose transformation led to the salvation of his entire family. Whether you're passionate about the persecuted church, curious about digital ministry innovation, or simply need a reminder not to take your Bible for granted, this episode will challenge and inspire you. ________________________________ Connect with Leanne on LinkedIn or via email at leanne@21cinternational.org.
