The Reggie McNeal Podcast Reggie McNeal

Jesus told his followers that the kingdom of God is in them. The abundant life he offers includes the personal dimension of human flourishing. In this fun podcast Reggie interviews his brother Randall, who serves as an executive coach to clients all around the world. Randall brings years of personal and family counseling experience to help business clients focus on the element of relational intelligence. In this conversation, he reveals the critical starting point for improving this aspect of our lives.

In this episode, Reggie talks with Mike Linger, the Executive Director of House of the Carpenter (HOC) in Wheeling WV. HOC delivers an amazing variety of services to its surrounding community, a city hit hard economically in recent decades. The interview begins with an investigation of the breadth of aid offered by HOC, then focuses on a couple of specific expressions of ministry that provide help and hope to its neighbors for escaping poverty.

Jesus wants his followers to be viral kingdom agents, always working to find ways for the kingdom of heaven to show up on earth.  In this podcast series, Reggie looks at three different levels of kingdom expression: cultural, community, and personal. Like twisting a kaleidoscope, different shapes and patterns come into focus as we seek first the kingdom in all of life’s dimensions.

This podcast captures a presentation that Reggie recently made to several dozen city network leaders focusing on our current cultural milieu.  After detailing some of the threatening currents that are buffeting our national well-being Reggie highlights the challenges they pose to the church. How the church responds to the changed spiritual landscape will determine its future. As kingdom people we should be offering a narrative of hope amidst all the darkness.

In this conversation, Reggie interviews Angela McNeal (no relation) who heads up a denominational effort (SC Baptist Convention) to pair churches with schools where the church provides support for students and teachers. To date, this emphasis has helped to create over 500 partnerships, covering almost a third of schools in the state. Learn more at www.heart4schools.org.

This podcast features a conversation between Reggie and Greg Wigfield, a business owner and entrepreneur, who is seeking to serve his city as a kingdom agent. Greg details his journey from church-centric to kingdom-centric thinking and engagement with what God is up to in his community. Hopefully this episode inspires you to make sure your own spiritual quest aligns with God’s kingdom.

In the new series "Kingdom Sightings," Reggie explores kingdom expressions that are showing up in a city-wide network of churches that seeks to change the public perception of the church, a community-level entrepreneur who is making a kingdom impact in his city, and a statewide effort by one denominational tribe to support the public school system. Our first episode is with Gary Gaddini, the director of Unify for the Transforming the Bay Area with Christ (TBC). In this podcast, he and Reggie talk about how a kingdom-centric emphasis influences the network of 500 churches to figure out ways to serve the cities of San Francisco, Oakland, and San Jose. Gary offers practical advice for getting a similar movement going where you live. For more info check out www.tbc.city.
