    Three Things the Majority World Church Can Teach Us | E50

    The church in places like Kenya, Uganda, South Asia, and Latin America is doing some things that the American church can learn from. In this episode, Jared and Leanne share stories from the field and dig into three qualities we've seen again and again in the majority world church: a deep hunger for God's Word, a commitment to genuine community, and an urgency to live on mission.

    Following Jesus is A Meaningful Journey with a Certain Outcome | E49

    Russ and Shannon have been married for thirty-seven years, traveled the world together since college, adopted internationally, and even own a home in Morocco. Now they're stepping into a new kind of adventure — becoming ambassadors with 21C International, potentially opening a brand-new field in Liberia. In this conversation, recorded right after a week-long ambassador retreat, they share the journey that led them here — from a bake sale that raised five times its goal to a deepening sense that God was opening a door they hadn't expected to walk through. Along the way, they talk about what it means to trust God as a couple, how curiosity and faith work together, and what the Great Commission can look like on a random Monday.

    The Great Commission Starts with You | E47

    The Great Commission is one of the most well-known passages in the Bible — but are we actually living it out? In this episode, Jared and Leanne walk through Matthew 28:18–20 and wrestle with what it looks like to take these words seriously, not just as a concept we admire, but as a daily calling that applies to every believer. The conversation moves from the personal to the global — covering everything from how an individual can share their faith in everyday moments, to how local churches can multiply their impact, to what it means to have a heart for the global church no matter where you live. ________________________________ Connect with Leanne on LinkedIn or via email at leanne@21cinternational.org.

    Who's Training the World's Pastors? — A Conversation with Dr. Michael Ortiz | E46

    The global church is growing at an extraordinary pace — especially across Africa, Asia, and Latin America — but pastoral training hasn't kept up. In this episode, Dr. Michael Ortiz gives us a front-row seat to the challenge and the opportunity. He shares what he's seeing from his dual vantage point at Dallas Theological Seminary and ICETE, a global network connecting formal and non-formal theological education around the world. The conversation covers the real-world consequences when pastors lead without solid training, the three essentials every pastor needs to be formed in, and the exciting collaborative movements emerging across continents to address the gap. Listen to Dr. Ortiz's podcast, Reimagining TE Together.________________________________ Connect with Leanne on LinkedIn or via email at leanne@21cinternational.org.

    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.
