This episode has been recorded in front of a live studio audience... Join the podcast this week to hear from the Chaves Family from Costa Rica, missionaries in Paraguay. Hear Juan and Lucre share their testimonies and their missionary burden. They hail from a church I have visited on a missions trip myself many years ago. We also have some fun and chat about life while on deputation.

What would it be like to preach from behind the same pulpit of a great preacher in Christian history? I have been privileged to preach from stages once held by D.L. Moody and Billy Sunday. But this week's podcast describes a moment greater than that. Take a look back when Charles Spurgeon, the great Prince of Preachers, took to the pulpit once held by the great theologian John Calvin. In his first book, Pastor Byron Varvel gives the two sermons preached by Spurgeon while in Geneva. In addition to the two messages, Varvel gives us helpful commentary, explanation and background. You won't want to miss this conversation!

This week our guest is Richard Reid, a Republican running for mayor of Brockton, Massachusetts. If you live in Brockton, this is the man to vote for! Richard serves as the pastor of North Baptist Church where he and I once worked together. We chat not only about his race but also about the role of Christians in politics and how to engage your local community.
