Gifts for Glory Podcast

...as we know it?

Since 2019, I've been podcasting and trying to bring a little light, encouragement, and inspiration through the Gifts for Glory Podcast, where we celebrate and promote men and women using their gifts for God's glory.

All about #OGHG.

Well, with my bride and I transitioning into full time ministry as US Missionaries, time and, frankly, desire, have dwindled. Also, resources have dwindled and I need to make personal cuts (no sponsors yet, so all this gloriousness has been out of pocket!)

So, one more podcast. Going live Monday night, 6pm Central time.

Is this the end? Is this a hiatus? Will there be a rebirth? I'll let God decide that one!

This podcast I'll dive in to the amazing year Jesus has had in the box office. Jesus Revolution, Nefarious, Sound of Freedom, and more!

I'll also talk about improv, becoming a missionary, and what you, if so led, might be able to do to help Bobbie and I get out there!

Dr. James P. Johnston, DO, chose to go small during the pandemic and ensuing mandates. In North Carolina, two of the largest health giants threatened the livelihoods of their professional care-givers if they dared treat the unvaccinated. Dr. Johnston decided it was time to offer an alternative. We'll hear about his telemed services and how he's working to put "family" back in "family practice."

Judd Saul is a family man, award-winning documentary filmmaker, including the 2021 film Enemies within the Church, which we highlighted that year with our guest Pastor Cary Gordon, link in the show notes, Judd is also an entrepreneur, and missionary who embarked on a call to action in Nigeria in 2011. He and his wife Sherry have 5 children, all of whom witnessed the vision unfold when Grandfather Duane Wessels invited Judd to join him on a mission trip. The trip changed Judd's life forever. He realized the stark reality, of the risk and sacrifice facing these people, and a burden was placed on his heart for the lost and persecuted Christians in Nigeria.

We talk about Equipping the Persecuted and also about the 2021 film, Enemies Within the Church.

On this week's episode, Dave shares his story of how God has redeemed time lost to depression and suicidal ideations. For many years, Dave used comedy and humor to hide what he was battling, but now he uses comedy to point to Jesus. 

"I used to use comedy to hide who I was, now I use comedy to reveal Who He Is." 

-Dave Ebert

Reverend Kevin McGary is the founder of Every Black Life Matters, an organization truly committed to fighting real racial issues across the nation. Rev. McGary, and his organization fight for black lives in America while pushing back against the lies that have crippled that segment of the population. His new book, "WokedUp” is an emphasis on the realities of what black America has gone through and helps you identify the real perpetrators behind the egregious lies! He attacks such issues ranging from the 2 largest killers in black America is Abortion and gang violence. Why are most planned parenthood facilities located in predominantly black neighborhoods, why CRT is being pushed so heavily in major cities and why are public school systems are failing our children, predominantly black children and why absent father syndrome has risen in the black community since 1950. All the while bringing reality to the false, scandal ridden organization BLM.

Chuck & Wilma Lormis have been involved in missions in some form or fashion for most of their ministry lives. Although they had known each other through ministry venues for more than 20 years, it wasn't until April 2015 that God began to direct their paths together. They officially joined forces September 5, 2015, when they became husband and wife to serve Jesus and make Him known. They both share a passion for missions, believing that missions is not simply a program of the Church, rather, Missio Dei (the mission of God). Therefore the mission of God should be integrated in everything the Church does.

Matthew 22:36-40 NLT “Teacher, which is the most important commandment in the law of Moses?” Jesus replied, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.”

Michael and Naomi (affectionately known as NOME) Rogers joined Well Versed Comedy in early spring 2022. They have worked and performed together in various theaters, including faith-based theater Overshadowed Theatrical Productions, located in Medinah, IL. They also run HIS STORY Productions, which is Naomi's one-woman show telling the story of Mary, Mother of Jesus. This conversation will be fun with this really fun and funny and talented couple! We'll talk faith, theater, performing, comedy, and hear both of their testimonies.

Keri Cardinale-Schopp does it all as an author, worship leader, speaker, and radio host. Her journey to a life committed to Jesus was filled times where she "was being (her) own god." But, at the same time she was being her own god, she was secretly seeking the God she had known as a child.

Originally we had Diane Ferraro is the Chief Executive Officer of Save the Storks scheduled, however a cold has forced us to reschedule. Dave will fly solo to share about Save the Storks, a ministry whose mission is to create a story of hope and empowerment for every woman facing an unplanned pregnancy. 

With the recent leak from the SCOTUS, ministries like Save the Storks are going to be even more important in showing there are more and better options for women in these hard situations. We will have Diane Ferraro on another time. We have Annie Tang-Humphrey from Save the Storks coming on June 13.

As we continue to celebrate National Humor Month, we introduce you to Brooke Simkins. Brooke is the Director of Event Services at her alma mater Trinity Christian College, where she was also a member of their improv team. In this episode, we talk comedy, of course, but also about her other important ministry: Moms in the Making Leader. Brooke leads the Orland Park, IL, chapter of Moms in the Making, a support group for women who have seen struggles on their journey to motherhood. On a personal note, I encourage women to join Moms in the Making because of the profound impact it has had on my wife and our marriage. I also, just as strongly, encourage men to be involved and consider coming with your wives to the Moms in the Making Conference in October. Men, I highly encourage you not to send her, but bring her! #DontSendBring

Caroline Harries, President, founded Moms in the Making back in June of 2013, one year into her journey of desiring to become a mom. She has a heart for those who are waiting on breakthrough from the Lord. Her unwavering faith is evident as she continues to believe for her own miracle of children. She delights in encouraging women through her internationally followed blog and book, In Due Time, her podcast, A Cup Full of Hope, as well as through Moms in the Making. By her side and behind the scenes is her devoted husband Colby. Colby and Caroline have been in a season of transition the last year including a new home, new church, and new adventures for Colby as he left his career in this season of transition.

In this conversation, we'll hear all about In Due Time, Moms in the Making, and what going on in this season of transition for this amazing couple!

CHALLENGE TO HUSBANDS: Don’t send your wife to Moms in the Making in October. Bring her. Invest in this journey with her. Let her know she’s not on her own. Serve at the conference. Intercede and cover her in prayer during the sessions. Don’t just ship her off, but come with her. #DontSendBring
