In the century since its invention, the nonprofit organization structure has powered immense social good, by enabling countless entrepreneurial leaders to address problems not adequately served by the market. But when it comes to delivering that social good today, many nonprofits fall short of the durable impact they hope to deliver. Our friends at Praxis proposes that there is a higher horizon of opportunity for the redemptive nonprofit — one that seeks the renewal of the larger society as well as all the stakeholders involved in the work. They hope to inspire a new generation of leaders to go beyond the baseline of ethics and excellence that should characterize any organization (whether or not it receives a tax exemption) — to building nonprofits that embody the radical hope of the Christian gospel and its power to transform persons, communities, and the course of history.

The Path To Discipleship is a daily devotional written by Ronnie Stevens designed to help the reader draw deep insight into the life Jesus calls us to through The Gospel of John. This book is a beckoning to come closer to the Jesus who John knew. Deep reflection on just a verse or two each day will take the reader mid-way through the gospel in the course of a year.

In this week’s podcast, we discuss how important it is to want something and know what you want. We also discuss how God takes our best and worst desires and uses them to shape us toward knowing His will for our lives.

We are needy people and typically have a long list of desires. Since wants and desires are unlimited and help define us, it is important to know for sure what you want.

Two-term governor of Tennessee Bill Haslam reveals how faith — too often divisive and contentious — can be a redemptive and unifying presence in the public square. Haslam casts a remarkable vision for the redemptive role of faith in politics while examining some of the most complex issues of our time, including: partisanship in our divided era, the most essential character trait for a public servant, how we cannot escape “legislating morality”, the answer to perpetual outrage, and how to think about the separation of church and state.

Brantley and Howard turn the podcast over to Ronnie Stevens in this week’s episode. In this episode, Ronnie tells us what Jesus says about our work as he explains why, how, when, and where to work. He also explains why money makes a useful servant, but a terrible master.

Ronnie Stevens has taught and preached The Gospel in over 20 countries. As Ronnie led our sessions, we had the blessing of hearing God’s and what Jesus says about why we should work.
