  • Ministry, Mentorship, and Following God’s Call with Dr. S Jonathan Murphy

    Ministry, Mentorship, and Following God’s Call with Dr. S Jonathan Murphy
    Jul 15 2025
    Summary: In this episode, Dr. Michael Easley interviews Dr. S Jonathan Murphy—professor at Dallas Theological Seminary and new lead pastor at Stonebriar Community Church—about his remarkable upbringing and ministry journey. Dr. Murphy shares how he grew up immersed in a culturally Spanish world while rooted in a Northern Irish evangelical home. His early faith was shaped by the tight-knit church his father pastored and the missionary stories he heard as a child. By age seven, Jonathan had come to a personal faith in Christ, a decision that would shape his life’s calling. After studying in Scotland, Dr. Murphy was unexpectedly led to Dallas Theological Seminary, where mentors like Dr. Howard Hendricks and Dr. Dwight Pentecost guided him toward pastoral ministry and eventually into academic training. He served faithfully as a local pastor in Northern Ireland before God called him back to Dallas to teach and eventually join the team at Stonebriar. Takeaways: Dr. S Jonathan Murphy grew up in a missionary household in Spain, learning faith through everyday family and church life. He transitioned from pastoring in Belfast to teaching and leading at Dallas Seminary, following God’s unexpected direction. Chuck Swindoll personally mentored Dr. Murphy, preparing him over years to step into leadership at Stonebriar Community Church. Dr. Murphy believes discipleship should flow naturally from genuine community—not be limited to structured programs. Fidelity in ministry matters more than church size or reputation—quiet, steady faithfulness is the real success. The church should function as a spiritual family where people truly belong, support one another, and grow together.

    Jul 8 2025
    Summary: In this conversation, Michael Easley speaks with Bill Hendricks and Bev Hendricks Godby about their father, Howard Hendricks, and his profound legacy in Christian leadership. They discuss the importance of recognizing and nurturing giftedness in individuals, the challenges of navigating retirement while maintaining purpose, and the nuances of parenting gifted children. The conversation emphasizes the significance of humility, the impact of family dynamics, and the ongoing journey of discovering one's purpose in life. Takeaways: Retirement isn’t the end, it’s a chance to repurpose your life for what truly matters. Giftedness isn’t taught, it’s what you were born to do. The path to purpose begins by paying attention to what naturally motivates you. Great leaders lead with humility. It’s not optional, it’s essential. Every child reveals their giftedness through how they act, play, and respond. Discovering purpose isn’t a one-time event, it’s a lifelong journey.

  • The Heart of Orphan Outreach with Mike Douris

    The Heart of Orphan Outreach with Mike Douris
    Jul 1 2025
    Summary: In this conversation, Michael Easley and Mike Douris discuss the mission of Orphan Outreach, focusing on the importance of caring for orphans and the shift from international adoption to orphan care. They explore the complexities of the orphan crisis, the significance of community support, and the transformative impact of personal visits to orphanages. Douris shares stories that highlight the deep connections formed through these interactions and encourages listeners to get involved in creative ways, emphasizing that ministry is about building relationships and demonstrating God's love. Takeaways: The Church is uniquely called and equipped to care for orphans and widows with compassion and purpose. Strong community support systems are key to keeping families together and children out of welfare institutions. Adoption is one important piece, but not the whole solution to the global orphan crisis. True ministry is rooted in relationships and fueled by a desire to reflect God’s love in action. Traveling to serve orphans doesn’t just help others—it often transforms your own heart and perspective. Creative fundraising and hands-on involvement can have a real, lasting impact in the lives of vulnerable children.
