  • 75. "From Superwoman to Well Woman" with Dr. Jeanne Porter King

    75. "From Superwoman to Well Woman" with Dr. Jeanne Porter King
    Sep 17 2024
    As a self-described “recovering perfectionist,” Jeanne wanted to be the one doing it all; breaking barriers and making space for everyone at the table. That desire was the foundation for many of the successes she’s achieved in academics, leadership, and ministry over the years. Yet it was through her personal loss that she fully understood that her superpower wasn’t the ability to juggle it all by herself. Her true strength came from leaning on God and those He brought into her life. Guest Bio: Dr. Jeanne Porter King is called to lead and make a difference in the lives of others. Through the ministry of the spoken and written word, Dr J, as she is affectionately called by her congregation, is a preacher, teacher, author, and business owner. Her messages have been called transformative, helping listeners unlock issues of identity, purpose, and destiny. Dr. Jeanne Porter King currently serves as the executive pastor at Christ Community Church, along with her husband, Dr. Carl E. King, Sr., the senior pastor. Additionally, she is the founder and principal consultant of the TransPorter Group Inc., with over 30 years of consulting and training experience in a variety of industries as well as with community groups, governmental agencies, churches, and other faith-based institutions. Through TransPorter, she has been blessed to travel across the world, training seasoned and aspiring leaders. In addition to her other work, Dr. Jeanne Porter King has authored numerous books and articles on leadership and is committed to developing and coaching leaders for the kingdom. Her books include Leading Well: A Black Woman’s Guide to Wholistic, Barrier-Breaking Leadership and Caring Well: 90 Self-Care Devotions for the African American Caregiver. Dr. Jeanne Porter King received both her bachelor’s and master’s of science degrees from The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. She has also received her master of arts in theological studies from McCormick Theological Seminary in Chicago and a doctor of philosophy in communication with an emphasis in cultural studies from Ohio University in Athens, Ohio. Notes & Quotes: “We can care for others, but we have to do it in a way that we also care for ourselves and we don’t harm ourselves.” “If Jesus found [the women at the well], He could find us as Black women. And what we bring to the table are gifts that, through spending that time with the Lord, we bring out and can lead out of.” “We don’t have to mask up and be more than we’re supposed to be. We can draw from this inner strength that comes from that well of the Holy Spirit and from the cultural traditions that are given to us.” “I try to work toward excellence, but the notion of trying to be perfect came out . . . . I had to give myself permission to step away from that.” Links Mentioned: FULL EPISODE TRANSCRIPT Learn more about Jeanne’s leadership work here.

  • 74. "Choosing Christ Over Career" with Cameron Arnett

    74. "Choosing Christ Over Career" with Cameron Arnett
    Sep 10 2024
    Imagine having it all—fame, success, money, love. Now, imagine losing it all overnight because you did the right thing. After having his modeling and acting stardom on the rise for so many years, Cameron Arnett’s life came to a halt after his conversion to Christ made him think and act differently. He thought he found his true calling in happily teaching the Bible and doing ministry for the next two decades. But God wasn’t done with Cameron’s “Hollywood” story yet. Guest Bio: Cameron Arnett is an award-winning actor in television, film, and theater hailing from Port-Au-Prince Haiti. Starting a successful career in the arts and entertainment in the late '80s and '90s, Cameron has appeared on almost every major network. Past television credits include NBC’s Miami Vice, Fox’s Star Trek: The Next Generation, ABC’s China Beach and Doogie Howser MD, VH1's Single Ladies, and Tyler Perry’s Meet the Browns. Today, Cameron travels an average of thirty weeks a year shooting faith-based and family-friendly projects, appearing in at least 35 films in the last ten years alone. Through Camy Arnett Production Studios (CAPS), he and his wife, Mrs. BJ Arnett, continue to occupy an ever-growing space within the content building of faith and family-friendly films. Cameron is also an author, speaker, film director, producer, and voice-over artist. Notes & Quotes: “The church that I was going to gave me a watered down, no power, regular existence, kind of a Jesus that could save you, but that couldn't change you. . .that's the Jesus that I wanted on the inside. I received that one, and that one converted me. I started making converted decisions, and those converted decisions started giving me anti-world results.” “Following God had to cause us to unravel all the stuff that we had put together in our personal lives. And then He re-raveled what He wanted.” “I look back at my life and deliberately call God my orchestrator. Between being my orchestrator and being the faithful God, those two things have been like the continual demonstration of God in my life.” “[God] has put together every dot, and every dot has meant something. Even the things I thought were not good and didn't think they were a promotion, prosperity, or going forward. It was a dot that He had planned to reconnect at some point in time.

  • 73. "Migration and Ministry" with Dr. M. Daniel Carroll R.

    73. "Migration and Ministry" with Dr. M. Daniel Carroll R.
    Sep 3 2024
    Living out our faith isn’t always as straightforward as we would like—especially when the realities of our broken world are too loud to be ignored. Being both bilingual and bicultural, Dr. Danny Carrol thought he would be fully comfortable in his new life living and teaching across Latin America. In reality, the opposite happened. But processing this discomfort actually became the catalyst of his mission to bring the Bible’s view of immigration center stage, showing others how the story of migration is a chapter within all of our stories, and the positive response we can have knowing that our true citizenship always lies in Heaven. Guest Bio: Dr. Danny Carroll is half-Guatemalan and was raised bilingual and bicultural. In his youth, he spent many summers in Guatemala and later taught at El Seminario Teológico Centroamericano in Guatemala City for thirteen years. The realities of Central America sparked Dr. Carroll’s fascination with the Old Testament. The relevance of the biblical text for the challenges of poverty, war, and politics in those developing countries led him to a passionate focus on Old Testament social ethics and the social sciences. Additionally, his studies in English literature and literary theory have generated an ongoing engagement with literary approaches to the Old Testament and critical studies. Experiences in this country and abroad have led him to a deep appreciation for the unique contributions that ethnic minorities, women, and the global church make to the interpretation of the Old Testament. Dr. Carroll has been involved with Latino/a believers and teaching on the Bible and immigration for many years. His research focuses on prophetic literature and Old Testament social ethics. He has recently published a major commentary on the book of Amos and a book on the prophetic voice for today. Currently, Dr. Carroll is co-editing an extensive project on the state of Old Testament studies in addition to working on a volume on Old Testament ethics. He also is the senior editor of a new Old Testament commentary series, The Bible in God’s World (Wipf & Stock). Notes & Quotes: “Because once you begin to look at it, you begin to realize that the history of humanity is the history of migration—whether it’s voluntary or forced.” “Migration is actually used as a metaphor for the Christian faith, like in 1 Peter. We were all foreigners and strangers. All of us are. This is not our homeland. We have a different king. We have a different citizenship. We are strangers in a strange land. “We know what it means to be strange. Language, food, nonverbal language, with how you dress, how you celebrate Christmas and birthdays. We know what it means to be strange. . . and maybe God has brought us to this place to help them remember.” “Oftentimes, in evangelical circles, [theology] is receiving what has been given to you and then applying it or something. Whereas, liberation theology is about rethinking how you do theology and you’re doing it from your context in a commitment to that context.” Links Mentioned: FULL EPISODE TRANSCRIPT Get your copy of Dr. Carrol’s book, The Bible and Borders, here.
