Gifts for Glory Podcast

...as we know it? Since 2019, I've been podcasting and trying to bring a little light, encouragement, and inspiration through the Gifts for Glory Podcast, where we celebrate and promote men and women using their gifts for God's glory. All about #OGHG. Well, with my bride and I transitioning into full time ministry as US Missionaries, time and, frankly, desire, have dwindled. Also, resources have dwindled and I need to make personal cuts (no sponsors yet, so all this gloriousness has been out of pocket!) So, one more podcast. Going live Monday night, 6pm Central time. Is this the end? Is this a hiatus? Will there be a rebirth? I'll let God decide that one! This podcast I'll dive in to the amazing year Jesus has had in the box office. Jesus Revolution, Nefarious, Sound of Freedom, and more! I'll also talk about improv, becoming a missionary, and what you, if so led, might be able to do to help Bobbie and I get out there!

Judd Saul is a family man, award-winning documentary filmmaker, including the 2021 film Enemies within the Church, which we highlighted that year with our guest Pastor Cary Gordon, link in the show notes, Judd is also an entrepreneur, and missionary who embarked on a call to action in Nigeria in 2011. He and his wife Sherry have 5 children, all of whom witnessed the vision unfold when Grandfather Duane Wessels invited Judd to join him on a mission trip. The trip changed Judd's life forever. He realized the stark reality, of the risk and sacrifice facing these people, and a burden was placed on his heart for the lost and persecuted Christians in Nigeria. We talk about Equipping the Persecuted and also about the 2021 film, Enemies Within the Church.

Chuck & Wilma Lormis have been involved in missions in some form or fashion for most of their ministry lives. Although they had known each other through ministry venues for more than 20 years, it wasn't until April 2015 that God began to direct their paths together. They officially joined forces September 5, 2015, when they became husband and wife to serve Jesus and make Him known. They both share a passion for missions, believing that missions is not simply a program of the Church, rather, Missio Dei (the mission of God). Therefore the mission of God should be integrated in everything the Church does.  Connect:  www.chuckwilmalormis.com  Missions Cultivators - Chuck & Wilma  www.facebook.com/MissionsCultivators ---------------------------- Connect with us!  www.gifts4glory.com Gifts for Glory Ministries  www.wellversedcomedy.com Well Versed Comedy  Become a Patron at www.patreon.com/gifts4glory  #OGHG #prayer #testimony #faith #Jesus #God #HolySpirit
