Something big is happening in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and Gina's guests are here to tell us all about it! Gina Jehl, Daisy Baily, and Deborah Hughes - who are known by the people in Fort Wayne as the "Fort Wayne Intercessors"  - have been gathering together to pray for their city for decades. They join Gina to tell us how it all began, what the Lord has taught them as they've prayed, what the Lord has done over the decades through their prayers, and what big thing is happening right now that they could only have dreamt about in the past.

Gina's guest is Steven Barr, the founder of Cast Member Church, a global network of micro-churches for Disney cast members - most of whom have never been part of a church or have ever even opened a Bible before! The Cast Member church movement is a Jesus-centered family specifically designed for Disney cast members that ​extends across six continents, with local expressions (called "CommuniDs") in Orlando, Anaheim, Paris, Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Shanghai. These CommuniDs include different nationalities, ethnicities, languages, and perspectives - including those who are critical of religion, conflicted about faith, confused by Christianity, or curious about Jesus. www.3dmovements.com

Jeremy and Nicole Snoberger join Gina to tell their story of how God is speaking to and leading them (as empty nesters) on a brand new mission. Actually, they're still in the middle of their story, and it's a story of how God is calling them to move from their home and community into a completely different home and community as He calls them into a new season of missional living. www.3dmovements.com

Paul Maconochie is back to talk to us about how we can engage in and see victory in the spiritual battles we face when we step out in obedience to Jesus' call to discipleship and mission. That's when spiritual warfare seems to always heat up - when we step out in obedience to Jesus. Paul is a pastor with the 5-fold gifting of prophet, and the insight he brings on this topic is important and very helpful.From 2004 to 2014 Paul led the church in Sheffield where much of Lifeshapes and the other 3DM tools and principles were developed, following Mike Breen as Senior Pastor. During this time the church grew significantly through Missional Communities based all over the city. Paul also helped to establish 3DM Europe and the UK 3DM Network during this time (now called Kairos Connexion). In 2014 he and his family moved to the USA, where he now works as a Pastor at Grace Gathering, New Haven Indiana and is a part of the 3DM North America Team. www.3dmovements.com

Mike's guest is Paul Maconochie who was "on the ground" when 3DM got its start in Sheffield, England some 30 years ago. Paul was a university student back then and found his way to St Thomas Church, Crookes (which is now known as "STC Sheffield."). It would be there that Paul would experience an incredible move of God, and it would be there that Paul would be connected with 3DM's founder, Mike Breen. Paul is here to not just share with us some of the "behind the scenes" stories of how 3DM came to be, but he will also tell about some of the significant and powerful moves of God that has led to 3DM as we know it today. www.3dmovements.com 

Mike’s guest on this episode is someone who has been on mission to make disciples and grow the church all of his adult life. His name is Tony Plummer, and along with his wife Lisa, they live and minister in Venice, FL. Tony is here to encourage all of us to keep going in the ministry God has called us to. His story - which is still being written - is one of high highs and some pretty low lows. In the early 2000s, Tony had what he describes as a "complete breakdown" as a result of ministry burnout, depression, and anxiety that sidelined him for over a year. All of this led him to the realization that he didn't really know Jesus like he thought he did. He's here to share what he has learned - and is still learning - through all of this. So, if you're on mission - whether in your neighborhood, with friends or co-workers, or at your church, then this conversation about how to deal with and even avoid ministry burnout will be so important. www.3dmovements.com
