God In The Ordinary: Joe Altebaumer

11/16/21 • 26 min

Is it true that we can share the good news of Jesus no matter what kind of job we do? Today’s guest proves there are always ways to reveal God in our everyday. Joe Altebaumer is a financial advisor, husband, father of adult twins, and volunteer. Joe conducts his business day in the same way he conducts his private life – he is open about his faith in God and takes every opportunity offered to him to speak about the gospel. We learn the simple, yet significant ways Joe tells the truth of Jesus with his clients. Do you recognise how important it is for men to be committed to following Jesus? Joe shares with us why it’s vital for men to be fully submitted to God; bears witness to the huge difference his faith has made not only in himself but also in the life of his family; and shares stories of how much change he's witnessed in people who have been in great need. Joe also talks about his involvement in a men’s ministry that has seen many put a stake in the ground with regards to their Christian faith, how the lives of individuals have been changed, and then how the lives of whole families follow. Join us as we chat with Joe and learn new ways to bring faith into our everyday lives.

God In The Ordinary: Sadie Chamberlain

Living in a new culture can sometimes make us want to hide away from all the differences we experience. Our guest for this edition chose to allow God to use her when she and her family moved to another country. She tells of the practical steps she took as she allowed God to reveal Himself through her to her new neighbours. This episode will encourage you to look for God in every area of your life as Sadie Chamberlain tells how the Lord has used her varied skills for His glory. Sadie tells of how her professional dance career impacted her own walk with God; and how losing her mum to mental illness taught her how to find God’s peace in the most difficult of circumstances. Sadie’s determination to stick close to Jesus despite her changing circumstances is inspiring, and her practical steps to evangelism will give you plenty to think about.

God In The Ordinary: Brittany Michalski

Do you ever wonder if the problems of climate change are really something worth engaging with? Are you considering how you can respond to questions about ecology, lower carbon living, and creation in general? Do you think about how Jesus might react to issues of stewarding the world He gave us? This week’s guest can help you reflect on all that and more. Brittany Michalski is a conservation ecologist for Arocha USA, and a project coordinator of Climate Stewards. Brittany shares how she blesses both her neighbours and the planet by being mindful and intentional about how she treats all of creation; helps us remember and recognise how God reveals Himself through creation; and comes to the measured conclusion that Christians should be joining in with the fight against global warming - her studies of marine ecosystems make her acutely aware of the negative impact of various pollutants. You’ll be encouraged as we learn about the strong links between faith and science, and will be equipped by the many resources she shares. Christians ought to be challenged to think and talk about environmental sustainability and Brittany lovingly guides us as we discuss this important topic.
