All Your Soul - Living As A Soul-Connected, Risk-Taking, Love-Driven Christ Follower With Dan Russell (SoulFest, New Sound Concerts)

When was the last time you thought about your soul? Dan Russell, founder of New Sound Concerts and The Soulfest, New England's largest Christian music festival, invites believers to step back from the lights and glamour of Christian music and consider the eternal nature of their soul, the unconditional love that Jesus demonstrated for us on the cross, and the resulting freedom and fearlessness that empowers the believer to stand up and fight for the oppressed and the hurting. Dan has been educating festival goers about the realities of human trafficking since the early days, and paved the way for many other social justice organizations to engage, educate, and equip people for the fight against injustice worldwide. Dan also shares insights into what it takes to put on such a massive event, reflects on his travels with U2, and gives hints about the future location of Soulfest in the coming years.

Lois And Eunice - Mother’s Raising Daughters To Know And Love The Lord With Linsey Driskill (Focus On The Family)

Raising young girls to know God and His Word can be challenging, especially in a world that promotes fantasy, superficiality, and self-centeredness in entertainment and popular cultural. Linsey Driskill, author of Beautiful Hearted Women Of The Bible: A Creative Mother-Daughter Devotional, talks about the importance of teaching young girls about what it means to be a Godly woman at an early age. Linsey shares ideas for moms and daughters to engage with God's Word and the world around them from her devotional, addresses the potential pitfall of feeling inadequate or imperfect as a mom,  and shares Biblical examples of ordinary women who had profound impact for the kingdom of God.

Pray Together - Preparing The Church For Gospel Awakening with David Skinner (Restore: New England)

What would it take for New England to experience a Gospel awakening again? David Skinner of Restore: New England is careful to say that while God is the one who saves people, He chooses to include His yielded church in the process! We discuss the practically simple but spiritually challenging underpinnings of revival - prayer, repentance, worship, teaching and training - as well as the intentional, relationship-focused strategy that "Restore: New England" follows for equipping the local church to realign with God's kingdom vision for gospel evangelism and new life in Jesus Christ.
