Watching the gospel of life spread around the world is a great adventure. Today we talk about an abortionist converted at a training in Kenya, pastors being trained near India’s border with Tibet, and why Mark Nicholson is heading back to Egypt and Azerbaijan to teach more pastors than ever. Come see what God is doing beyond our borders, on this episode of PassionLife.
In Joshua 10, the sun stood still for about a whole day, and the Bible says there has never been a day like it before or since. John Ensor and Mark Nicholson look at why so many people try to explain miracles like this away, and at the story of two friends, Billy Graham and Chuck Templeton, who answered the same doubts in very different ways. Come discover why every part of Scripture, even the parts that are easy to understand, calls for your faith on this episode of PassionLife.
After years of serving side by side, John Ensor announces he will step down as president of PassionLife on December 31, and Mark Nicholson will lead the ministry starting January 1, 2027. They talk about the difference between holding on and handing off, the danger of “founder’s syndrome,” and why the deepest joy in leadership is watching others carry the work forward. They also share stories from Vietnam, Kazakhstan, Romania and beyond. Hear the news firsthand and join us in praying for this transition on this episode of PassionLife.
Most sins in Scripture apply equally to men and women, but Ephesians 6:4 gives fathers a specific warning: do not provoke your children to anger. John Ensor and Mark Nicholson talk about how uncontrolled anger wounds children, and John shares what it was like to grow up with an alcoholic father. John and Noël Piper also describe how their own fathers shaped their faith, so learn why fatherhood matters so much and how you can raise your children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord on this episode of PassionLife.
John Piper says it’s heresy to claim God took a risk by creating the world or sending his Son, because a God who knows everything and can do anything never has to guess how things will turn out. That same sovereign God is what frees you to step out in faith when you can’t see the outcome, because nothing bad can happen to you that isn’t good for you. Take a look at Piper’s banquet keynote with John Ensor and Mark Nicholson, from Joab’s battle cry to the promise of Romans 8, and find the courage for your own next step of faith on this episode of PassionLife.
