MAPS Global Podcast

Generation Z is stepping into leadership across the globe in an era where the need to be seen, heard, and correct is sweeping the church into controversy and conflict and stealing people away from their assignments. Hear R.A. Martinez and Keith Dionise (Director of the MAPS Global School) discuss lessons leaders can learn from Paul's letters to Timothy to help them proactively and successfully build ministries and people filled with love for others, purity of heart, endurance, and unity.

In a highly requested follow-up in their "Marriage and Ministry" series, R.A.

Shame has shaped the way many of us see God, ourselves, and others. But Jesus broke that cycle.

Endurance is essential if we're going to finish the assignments God's given us and stay steady on the narrow road. So how do we get it—and keep it? Tune in as we unpack what biblical endurance really means.

In this episode, R.A. Martinez takes a fresh look at the hot topic of deconstruction. Is it good or bad?
