MAPS Global Podcast

We sit down with special guest, Kim Hager, director of the house of prayer here in Richmond at our MAPS Global Missions Base to talk about why we sing! She has been in the house of prayer for almost fourteen years and has not only studied the power of song but has written countless songs that are sung all around the world. In this episode, we discuss how singing brings personal and corporate transformation and that everyone is a singer! We want to hear from you!

COVID-19 has caused the nations of the Earth to grind down to a halt. In the midst of the global pandemic, God is speaking. R.A. Martinez shares what he believes the Lord is putting his finger on in the church as He is gently dealing with our addiction to activity and the “many things” that have crowded out the “one necessary thing". We want to hear from you!

How should the church respond both personally and corporately to crisis? We are living in an unprecedented moment that is touching people around the globe. R.A.

The following is a sermon from R.A. Martinez taken from our MAPS Family Gathering. He is sharing his perspective on the current global COVID-19 pandemic and how the Lord has been speaking to our community in the last few months concerning “setting our minds on things above” (Colossians 3:2). This was a great encouragement to our family, and we hope that it is an encouragement to you as well!    Learn More www.mapsglobal.org Give https://pushpay.com/g/mapsglobal?src=hpp Connect podcast@mapsglobal.org

In this week's episode, R.A. Martinez and Leah Mix revisit a beloved topic here at MAPS Global, the man named Barnabas. One of the most influential characters in the early church, not much is discussed about his life, yet arguably the relationship between Barnabas and Paul was one of the most influential friendships in history. The life of the young Apostle Paul was completely changed by having a father and a friend who believed in him. We want to hear from you!

WE ARE BACK!! And what better way to reset than going back to the beginning? In this episode, we revisit the subject of our very first podcast where we talked about ANTIOCH. There was so much to say about this amazing church in Acts 11 and 13 that we had to make this discussion two parts! In Part 1 we look to the history and timeline of the book of Acts leading to the birth of the church in Antioch and how it became the New Testament "Sending Center”. Make sure to stay tuned for Part Two where we break down the 10 characteristics that made this church a prototype for modern day “Sending Centers” that God is raising up across the earth!

Merry Christmas! We hope you are enjoying this holiday season. We are going to end the year with an episode about the power of gratitude. R.A. Martinez and Leah Mix sit down and have a conversation on the supernatural power of gratitude and the danger of complaining. They will give you an inside look into the fun ways they practice this value within MAPS culture as well as the back story behind the saying, “Gratitude opens the door, for me to receive more. Complaining shuts the door!” Learn More www.mapsglobal.org Give https://pushpay.com/g/mapsglobal?src=hpp
