Proactive vs. reactive. We know that they are going to mess up. They're gonna do something really dumb. (It's kind of in their job descriptions.) Too often, we allow 'fate' to guide our families, reacting to situations and circumstances as they develop. This is especially dangerous when it comes to discipling and disciplining our kids. Today, Mike Lee encourages families to take a proactive approach to the dumbness, not be shocked when it happens, and begin the ...

This past summer, Mark Reiswig, Northwest Christian's 8th grade Bible teacher, travelled with Voice of the Martyrs to Nigeria. Over the last few years, the encroaching influence of Islam in northern Nigeria has produced a hotbed of persecution -- and, tragically, martyrdom -- for the minority Christian population. In travelling to Nigeria, Mark knew this would be an intense and insightful trip...but he was not prepared for the things that God showed him... "Kingdom Culture Convers...

Brian T. Moultrup serves as a chaplain and is Captain in the U.S. Army Reserve, deeply committed to encouraging others through faith, service, and community.

Christian education in Russia. Yes, you read that correctly. And, not only is it happening, it's been happening for thirty years. Three decades of Christian education within a nation with a track record of hostility towards the Gospel is not for the faint of heart. For the brave men and women involved, it has required courage and a constant commitment to excellence. And, Joy Watson has led that team. Today, we enjoy a remarkable Kingdom Culture Conversation with Joy ...

Having studied sign language in high school, he's now working and learning within three languages...but, none of them are sign language...

Nine months. Nine nations. A hurricane. Exotic locations. Primitive villages. Jungles. For Northwest Christian alumni Jackson Schlesinger, the World Race, an amazing gap year journey directed by Adventures In Missions, there were the challenges that stemmed from the program's design to teach leadership while providing amazing spiritual formation - and then there were the challenges no one saw coming. Like for example, a flood. Today, we get to hear from Jackson as he r...

God uses the strangest things to accomplish His Kingdom purposes. Case in point: Jason Feeser's TikTok "blooper" has amassed over nine million views and brought in over 60K social media followers...to a pastor intent of preaching the Gospel from a fully transparent, authentic pulpit. Today's Kingdom Culture Conversation demonstrates that candor but it also features a healthy dose of challenge for men to be men within a culture focused on crushing Biblical manhood. "Kingdom Cultur...

In his third year as Elementary Principal at Northwest Christian School, Eric Dowdle has worked, throughout his entire educational career, to create school culture in which every student feels valued. Yet, it can be challenging! The elementary years are those in which socialization is forming and students are moving from being entire self-aware towards being cognizant of the needs of their peers. But, as Eric shares today, when school and home work together around some common obje...

As this episode hits, it is the final Monday of the school year. And, well, I guess folks around the International Podcasting Headquarters of Kingdom Culture Conversations are feeling a bit reflective. So, G and Geoff invited in Beth Easley, as fine an alumni of Northwest Christian as one will find, to reflect on her experiences within the school. Foundational to it all is Beth's commitment to ministry within the local church as well as her countless experiences on the miss...
