Mikel Collins introduces the remarkable journey of All Things All People (ATAP), a ministry in Rutherford County, North Carolina, dedicated to equipping Christians to spread the gospel to the least reached and darkest communities.

ATAP's commitment to staying and thriving in Forest City as opposed to moving to larger cities is a testament to their dedication to their community.

Transforming Conversations with Any Three: A Guide for Evangelism

All Things All People — Tue, 10 Sep 2024 08:24:00 -0400

This episode gives you a breakdown of the any three model for evangelism. This method, developed by Mike Shipman, is designed for sharing the gospel in Muslim-majority contexts but can be applied more broadly. Dive into what the Any Three method entails, including its five steps: getting connected, getting to God, getting to lostness, getting to the gospel, and getting to a decision. The discussion covers the theological basis for the method, tackling obstacles in evangelism, and the importance of presenting the gospel in a straightforward, conversational manner. Listeners will also learn the story of the first and last sacrifice, a tool within the Any Three method to articulate the gospel effectively.

Jesus and Isa: Discussing Christ with a Muslim

All Things All People — Fri, 24 May 2024 08:15:00 -0400

Muslims and Christians walk around this world pretending as if they mean the same thing when they refer to Jesus and Isa. Yet most Muslims have never read the Gospels at all, and they take the claim that its contents are corrupt on faith. To get a Muslim to ever read it and encounter the true Jesus is a triumph. Today, we uncover the truth about the difference between Isa and Jesus.

"Is God Actually a Human?"

All Things All People — Wed, 30 Aug 2023 18:01:44 -0400

Who and what is God?

This question forms the beginning of a conversation with Latter-day Saints about their belief in who they call "Heavenly Father". The conclusions found after exploring that question lead us to realize that not only are the LDS views on god irreconcilable with historic Christianity, but they also fail the basic tests of logic. Find out why in this episode of BASECAMP.

His goal is to help others along that path, whether they be struggling veterans, their families, or anyone facing the challenges that life brings. Eddie is the author of UNAFRAID: Staring Down Terror as a Navy SEAL and Single Dad, architect of the UNAFRAID brand, and host of The UNAFRAID podcast and The Penney's Podcast with his wife, Amanda Penney.

Mark & Luke Glanville- Refugees, Kinship, & "Who Am I Responsible For?"

All Things All People — Mon, 03 May 2021 06:00:00 -0400

Are Christians responsible to help those who have been displaced by war, famine, and economic hardship?

In their new book, "Refuge Reimagined: Biblical Kinship in Global Politics", Mark and Luke Glanville argue that Christians should be the example of what it looks like to treat the weakest and hurting as family. The ethic they propose in the book is one that every Christian should familiarize themselves with as our world continues to get small each day.

In this interview, the Glanvilles and Jeremy discuss how all throughout the Bible God's people are commanded to put the weakest among them at the center and how this might impact the lives of Christians if they take God's word seriously.

Dr. Christina Crenshaw- LGBTQ+, Cancel Culture, and Showing Grace

All Things All People — Wed, 03 Mar 2021 04:37:32 -0400

What if an entire group of people tried to "cancel" you for an honest tweet?

Dr. Christina Crenshaw knows this reality all too well. After a tweet where she questioned recent rulings regarding transgender rights, she was singled out by members of the student body at her school, Baylor University, as "transphobic". Dr. Crenshaw has stood against these claims and fought for her voice to be heard and with it the orthodox Christian view on gender.

In this episode, Dr. Crenshaw talks about the unlikely place she has found herself, never having thought she would be in a position like the one she is now.

All Things All People — Mon, 01 Mar 2021 07:00:00 -0400

He is a tremendous example of a Christian thinker because he has come out on the other side of all of that closer to Jesus than he went in.

In this conversation, Jeremy and Bobby discuss his ministry as the One Minute Apologist, but also his heart for pastoring and helping those struggling with mental health. He explains how Jesus is big enough to deal with our doubts, and we think you will believe him.

Russell Moore- On Abortion, Trump, and Courage

All Things All People — Mon, 05 Oct 2020 08:00:25 -0400

Russell Moore has spoken in front of a Pope, been criticized by a President, and shared the Gospel with politicians. So he might be the best person to mark the first venture into politics for the podcast. Dr. Moore and Jeremy discuss President Trump, the Supreme Court, abortion, and many other important cultural issues in this episode. Dr. Moore's eloquence along with the love he exemplifies is certainly a model for Christians as we engage with this broken world.

"Why Should I Worship a Man Who Lived 2000 Years Ago?"

All Things All People — Tue, 29 Sep 2020 03:32:58 -0400

Jesus was a man who spoke Aramaic, lived a life of around 33 years, and somehow is still the most important person who has ever lived.

These facts confound many as to why he should be someone who is worshiped, while seemingly being able to relate to little of what the modern person experiences on a daily basis. Even more, the culture he lived in is vastly different from most cultures found on the planet today.

Yet Jesus is still relevant and transcends culture and Jeremy and Josh describe why in this episode.

Barnabas Piper- Pastor's Kid and Recovering Cynic

All Things All People — Mon, 14 Sep 2020 03:16:29 -0400

When your dad is one of the most famous pastors in America, you have a different Church experience than the other kids in your youth group. Actually, you have a different life entirely.

Barnabas Piper doesn't shy away from talking about his dad, especially when he talks about just how great a dad John Piper was for him and his siblings. That being said, Barnabas is an accomplished author and speaker on his own and offers a fresh and unique perspective on church ministry and culture. Our conversation centered on his life with his dad, getting over some of his struggles in life including being a "recovering cynic", and what he thinks of the future of church ministry in America.

The Problem of Evil and Ganesh

All Things All People — Mon, 31 Aug 2020 03:06:29 -0400

"If God is omnipotent and loving, why does He allow evil in the world?"

I get this question all the time, and that makes sense because it is an important one. Today we're going to look at one of the most fundamental defenses in the discussion of the problem of evil, Alvin Plantinga's "Free-will Defense".

Along with that, we discuss the Ganesh Chaturthi festival currently happening in India and if evaluating the character of other gods gives us an insight into the character of Yahweh.

Dr. Michael Heiser- Demons and the Powers of Darkness

All Things All People — Mon, 24 Aug 2020 01:39:27 -0400

What does the Bible actually say about demons and the powers of darkness? Questions like this one are common in Christian minds, and Dr. Michael Heiser is one of the experts who can help make sense of this difficult topic for you. In this episode, you'll hear us breakdown the most important Biblical texts for understanding the powers of darkness and discuss what spiritual warfare should look like in the life of the Christian today. Dr. Michael Heiser served for 14 years as a scholar in residence for Logos Bible software. He now spends much of his time writing, having released recent books such as the Unseen Realm (recovering the supernatural worldview of the Bible), Angels (What the Bible really says about God’s heavenly host), and Demons (What the Bible really says about the powers of darkness). While you have likely been impacted by him already, as he has consulted on popular Bible Project videos, you should probably start listening to him dive deep into the Bible on the Naked Bible Podcast.

Brian Brodersen is the lead pastor at Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa.

Buddhism Basics- Noble Half-Truths & Nirvana

All Things All People — Mon, 03 Aug 2020 02:50:30 -0400

I want to introduce you today to 535 million humans that you may never have met before and might know nothing about.

At around 7% of the world's population, Buddhism is one of the most influential faiths and thought systems around yet most Christians know very little about it.

Along with this, they know little about how to engage Buddhists with the message of Christianity. In this episode, we try and solve both issues- discussing the basics of Buddhism while also engaging with what Christianity has to say in regards to Buddhist beliefs.

All Things All People — Mon, 20 Jul 2020 03:49:20 -0400

Are the gifts of the Spirit still active today? What should Christians believe about speaking in tongues?

The charismatic church is one of the largest and fastest growing segments of Christianity in the entire world today. Despite this, they are often misunderstood by other Christians while also having to fight image issues due to the influence of some heretics within the movement.

Caleb Edwards, one of the lead worship leaders at the International House of Prayer in Kansas City joins the show today to discuss questions submitted on social media about all things charismatic!
