#022: War in Ukraine: Safehaven in Budapest w/ Stacy Sample

Samuel Hughes

For the next few episodes of the Live the More podcast, we're going to highlight stories of the people impacted by the war in Ukraine. Specifically, we want to focus on the stories of refugees fleeing the violence in Eastern Europe.  Episode #20 tells the story of Samuel and Melissa Hughes, missionaries to Ukraine for over a decade. The Hughes family fled Kyiv in mid-February, making their way to Romania, where they are serving and ministering to refugees fleeing the war. Their story is both harrowing and hopeful. Take a listen to learn more about what families like theirs are experiencing, how you can help, and how you can pray during this crisis.  If you'd like to support Samuel's work in Romania, as he serves Ukrainians there, please visit https://ymitraining.com/hughes/. Song in the intro/outro is "Price of Freedom," by ZakharValaha; found on Pixabay. ________Have you subscribed to our podcast yet?

#020: Overcoming Burnout - Self-Worth, People-Pleasing, & Roofing a House

In this mini-series, we ask, "What is burnout, how do you avoid it," and "how do you overcome burnout?"OK, so you're waking up the fact that you're burning out. And that nagging feeling of hopelessness is beginning to take over.

Using the incredible true story of Jamie Hull--a former British SAS pilot who was forced to crash land his plane during a training exercise--we take a hard look at the path to  recovery. Episode #019 of the Live the More podcast has practical tips for identifying burnout and how to heal and recover.

#019: Overcoming Burnout - No Way Out But Down

In this mini-series, we ask, "What is burnout, how do you avoid it," and "how do you overcome burnout?"

Daniel Roby

In the first episode of Season Two (Episode #014) of the Live the More podcast, CEO of Austin Street Center Daniel Roby shares why we need the weak who live among us and how we can care for those facing homelessness.  Daniel Roby has been the CEO of Austin Street Center for nearly six years; he believes the most vulnerable members of our city should have access to their basic needs despite the limitation of their resources.  Austin Street Center is a homeless shelter in the heart of Dallas, TX, where several hundred people shelter every night. What makes this shelter truly unique is its holistic approach to homelessness. They boast a mental health clinic and are connected with ~150 housing units, helping their temporary residents find longer-term housing. And with a chapel onsite hosting three services a day, Austin Street Center also provides spiritual care for some of the weakest, most vulnerable people on the Dallas city streets.

In the first episode of Season Two (Episode #014) of the Live the More podcast, CEO of <a href="https://www.austinstreet.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Austin Street Center</a> Daniel Roby shares why we need the weak who live among us and how we can care for those facing homelessness.  Daniel Roby has been the CEO of Austin Street Center for nearly six years; he believes the most vulnerable members of our city should have access to their basic needs despite the limitation of their resources.  Austin Street Center is a homeless shelter in the heart of Dallas, TX, where several hundred people shelter every night. What makes this shelter truly unique is its holistic approach to homelessness. They boast a mental health clinic and are connected with ~150 housing units, helping their temporary residents find longer-term housing. And with a chapel onsite hosting three services a day, Austin Street Center also provides spiritual care for some of the weakest, most vulnerable people on the Dallas city streets.

Trey Shaw

What does it mean to live on mission? Trey Shaw has spent nearly two decades in Hungary serving as a church planter and missionary. But he didn’t always want to be a missionary and maintains a much broader view of what it means to "live missionally," wherever that may be in the world.  “I’m a missionary, but that’s a role—there’s no difference in quality between a missionary and someone who is not,” Trey told us in Episode #013. “We all have a role in the Kingdom; if you work at a Fortune 500 company in the city, then you take it with you and you live it out. It’s all God’s business.” Take a listen to this week’s episode to see how humility intersects with the ordinary to create something truly extraordinary in the Kingdom of God.  _____________Have you subscribed to our podcast yet?

#012: Missional Entrepreneurship w/ Michael Benko.

Mark Mayhew

Everyone cared for, no one alone. That’s the vision Mark and Jenn Mayhew have for their COVID-19 community care initiative in South London. They live in a multicultural neighborhood comprised of roughly 15,000 people. And like so many places in the UK, when the Coronavirus hit the people in their area —especially older, isolated individuals—it left the community reeling.Their response is to empower each street in the neighborhood to decide how they can best care for their neighbors in crisis. Though the Mayhews admit their grassroots effort is a messy, decentralized system, the results are difficult to argue with: ·      Regular food collections from every street to aid Food Banks ·      Delivery of food parcels to neighbors over 60 years old ·      Collecting toys and equipment for babies and children up to the age of five ·      Providing Critical Care teams from a local hospital and hospice care workers with snacks and treats, and items for their noticeboards As you listen to Episode #011 of the Live the More podcast, we hope you get a much-need dose of hope and inspiration for your day. And we hope that you, too can find ways to follow the Mayhew’s lead in your neighborhood. The community initiative website we mention in the episode has loads of free resources, so get dreaming, get started, and experience the joy of very simply loving your neighbor. _____________Have you subscribed to our podcast yet?

#011: Loving our Neighbors in a Crisis w/ Jenn & Mark Mayhew.

How can we use creativity to cultivate more openness and overcome challenges? We sat down with Maya and Patrick Laurent from the Laurent Collective to discuss how creativity can help us during the COVID-19 crisis and we came up with a few creative tips for relieving stress. In times of survival, it seems like creativity is one of the first things to go. “I’m just trying to make it,” we tell ourselves, “I don’t have time to exercise my creative side.” Yet, being creative is part of what makes us innately human. After all, we were made in the image of the Creator God who engineered the world, dreamed up all living creatures, and painted the Earth with countless colors. God imagined, dreamed, spoke, and so it was. What does that say about who WE are? Be sure to check out Episode #010 of the Live the More podcast to learn how you can naturally and enjoyably create during this crisis. The Laurent Collective is a bold, creative family business that wants to inspire you to flex your creative muscles! Have you subscribed to our podcast yet?

#007: Intentional Marriage Practices During a Crisis w/ Jordan & Christy Ogden.

Joey Dodson

Dr. Joey Dodson helps us explore what the Apostle Paul says about our identity and self-worth. When we read the letters of Paul, we can sometimes come away with conflicting ideas about who we are as followers of Jesus. "I’m a saint. I’m a sinner. I’m a wretch. I’m beloved." So, which is it?

Dr. Joey Dodson helps us explore what the Apostle Paul says about our identity and self-worth. When we read the letters of Paul, we can sometimes come away with conflicting ideas about who we are as followers of Jesus. "I’m a saint. I’m a sinner. I’m a wretch. I’m beloved." So, which is it? Is it both? How do we begin sorting this out?  In our cultural moment, the voices which validate our self-worth and ascribe value to “who we are” have never been louder!

#006: Self-Worth, Christian Identity, and the Apostle Paul w/ Dr. Joey Dodson

How can we break free from past burdens, avoid getting stuck in bitterness, and cross over into places of flourishing? In Episode #005, co-founder of Live the More—Allison Jordan—shares her own story of finding “the more of God” in times of suffering. She also shares her vision for Live the More: to provide bridge-building tools for people to cross over from past or present difficulties into greater victory found through life with God.  “Oftentimes, that’s where we need help—to get to the next place,” Allison shares, “we need those bridges to keep going, to help us cross over, but we don’t have the resources only in ourselves to do it.” Take a listen to this week’s episode and discover how living “the more of God” does not immunize you from suffering, but imbues our anguish with meaning and purpose. ___________Have you subscribed to our podcast yet?

#004: Connection with God

As an expat working cross culturally, I wrestle with many of the things the Jordans talk about in Live the More. I find them relatable, down to earth, and relevant. You can tell they have done their research and yet the episodes feel more like you’re sharing time in their living room over coffee. It’s nice to know I’m not alone and that there are people who desire to see others thrive in life and in their relationship with Christ. I definitely recommend Live the More.

Relevant and needed today!

Could not have a more equipped couple to lead this podcast. Such wisdom and warmth and wealth of experience to glean from these two. Every time I hear these two speak I lean in and take notes.

John and Allie are the real deal.
