What is the Lord saying through the recent Asbury awakening? How are we to understand what God is seeking to communicate through revivals in general? In this episode Ryan looks into six highly applicable and practical areas of spiritual restorations God appears to be highlighting through this particular awakening. You will not want to miss these six important restorations God is trumpeting across the body of Christ to enable us to become all He has called His Church to be.

Which type of mobilizer are you? Generally we think of a mission mobilizer in a one dimensional way instead of how God views it, as a multifaceted role in God's global purpose. In this episode Ryan teaches about seven different types of mission mobilizers, all operating as God's voices in "preparing the way of the Lord!" (Isaiah 40:3). The global Church desperately needs all seven of these types coming into maturity to be mobilized for the Great Commission to the significant extent that is on Jesus' heart.

In this episode Ryan shares an encounter he had with God in the summer of 2001 - 22 years ago. God revealed the important role of mission mobilization among the people of God, helping the Church overcome obstacles to become engaged in God's purposes being accomplished in the Great Commission. You don't want to miss this episode and the important timely applications that come with it.

God has a much bigger plan in His heart related to mobilizing and "scattering" His people among unreached peoples then the Church has generally understood. In this episode we consider this concept from a few Scriptural passages, allowing God's Word to envision us to dream much bigger with Him about the possibilities in the Great Commission.

The premise of this episode is that one of the reasons why still one third of the global population are in unreached people groups is because of how the global Church has understood (or misunderstood) the Great Commission and mobilization. As a result there is a need for a clear mobilization vision and strategy across the global Church. One of the ways to consider this is through the lens of "saturation mobilization movements" being developed across ministry structures within the body of Christ globally.

"What is the Gospel?" A basic question, right? As those mobilizing the global Church to proclaim the Gospel, it is necessary to ask what message we are mobilizing others to bear among unreached and unengaged, frontier peoples. The gospel is commonly reduced in its scope, appearing vague. This episode provides a helpful five phase roadmap for communicating God's message in its fullness, the Gospel of the Kingdom, among all peoples, not just providing one or two pieces of the overall message. This is what we must mobilize the body of Christ to proclaim among the nations.

Identity is fundamental to the human race. We seek identity in many things in life. Yet God wants His Church embracing the core corporate identity He has given us. Grasping our core identity answers the question, "who are we?" Knowing our core identity as the body of Christ enables us to discern what specific way each individual believer will then contribute to its outworking in the world.

In this episode we are looking at the concept of “scattering” or “sending” out our ministries into the harvest fields. The way of the Spirit compels His corporate and individual people outward—“scattering,” multiplying, reproducing ourselves. “Scattering,” then has multiple layers. It is safe to say biblically speaking every disciple of Christ is meant to “scatter” in one way or another. Let's look at three levels of “scattering,” each with different focal points and involvement.

There is a lot of talk these days about reaching the unreached and seeing movements established toward them. But what does the realization of the redemptive purpose of God actually look like from God's perspective? It seems the body of Christ is sometimes guilty of envisioning something quite different about the global harvest from what Scripture reveals. In this episode we seek to align with Jesus' own outlook on what the global harvest looks like so that we mobilize the people of God according to God's own viewpoint of what is coming.

Have you ever considered mission mobilization as an entity in its own right? As an area or field of study under the larger umbrella of cross-cultural mission and Biblical missiology? It seems that the time is right to see the foundations, principles, strategies and most importantly Biblical precedence and missiology of mission mobilization being considered, even in Bible schools and seminaries as a distinct field of study. Learn more about these considerations in this brand new episode of the Mission Mobilization Chats podcast.

In this episode Ryan shares a vision he had many years ago of God raising up 100,000 mission mobilizers around the earth. He reveals who these mobilizers are and what their core message is as well as the nature of their impact on ministry structures around the world. Be encouraged to trust in God's plans and purposes of progressing the mission mobilization movement internationally forward through these key Isaiah 40 "voices."

The most important questions we can ask as believers are about the processes God uses to develop His people. In mission mobilization this is a crucial question as well. It is necessary to ask, "how God's people are mobilized for mission?" What are the primary ways God uses to accomplish His mission mobilization development in the life of a church community and individual believer. In this episode we look at three broad categories of ways God imparts His heart for the nations to His people. Each of these is meant to be implemented on a regular basis into the life of our local ministry fellowships.

Moving toward a more thorough, comprehensive understanding of mission mobilization in the global Church requires we highlight some core values related to it. Core values help shape and provide focus to any entity. This is necessary in helping the Church grow in mission mobilization as well. In this episode we consider six core values for mission mobilization. Each of these contain huge truths that inform the messages and focal points of mission mobilization, laying foundations through which we can progress on.

Is God leading His people to see and understand mission mobilization differently then we have in the past? In this episode Ryan shares an experience he had with God a few years ago where the Lord grabbed His attention through a particular verse, Luke 5:4, applying it slightly differently than usual. Could this verse be a blueprint for how to propel the mission mobilization movement God is raising up within His global Church? Be inspired and encouraged as you consider this direction God may be leading His people.

There is much confusion about the phrase "unreached peoples" today across the global Church. It is common to hear we are called to reach people everywhere so why focus on unreached peoples. In this episode we consider in detail what constitutes this important category of people that serves the strategic impact the Church is meant to have in the Great Commission. Doing so not only empowers the Church to effectively reach people with the gospel of Christ but also to strategically align with Jesus' big-picture plans and purposes of how to do so.

It is important to analyze the global Church's progression in mission mobilization emphasis in history. This episode looks at one of those areas of progression through three stages in mobilization as we seek to multiply mission mobilization movements. We consider the general mobilization emphasis of the last 50-60 years being what we call "mobilization from the outside" and yet how additionally the Spirit is beckoning "mobilization from the inside." This is the needed second stage in mission mobilization that will enable us to move to the third stage, the "mobilization fruitfulness" stage.

God is a progressive God, unfolding His overall plans and purposes in stages. He does not do everything at once, instead steadily progressing His global Church forward in mission and mobilization over time. Due to this it is necessary to become dedicated students of where we are presently in mission mobilization and where He may be taking us next surrounding progressing in His mission mobilization plan in the Church.

In this episode we seek to define what mission mobilization is. There is much confusion in the body of Christ when we don't adequately define what we mean by the words we use. This is true in cross-cultural mission as well as mission mobilization, particularly when God is wanting to expand the global Church's grasp of mission mobilization in order to bring us into the fullness of our destiny.

The role of Mission Mobilizer is often misunderstood because the global Church has tended to limit and minimize who and what is a Mobilizer. We have generally failed to recognize the wide variety of people and leadership roles that fall into the category of a Mobilizer. This episode considers the five core leadership roles in the global Church (sometimes referred to as the five fold ministries) and how at their essence each one is meant to be a Mission Mobilizer. Seeing each of these five operating in their foundational role as a Mission Mobilizer will revolutionize the mission movement globally.

Learn more about mobilization as a central theme in Scripture as Ryan teaches on how God, Jesus and Paul, three core figures in the Bible, were all, in their essence, Mission Mobilizers. Mobilization, Mobilizer, even the word Mission is often criticized as never occurring in the BIble. While this is true, the concepts of each are consistently found. Even constituting the bulk of the entire Biblical redemptive storyline. Mobilization is a much bigger, more comprehensive, subject in Scripture then we have realized, but we need to change our perspective slightly to see through this lens. Watch, listen and share this episode with your friends and ministry members.
