Scripture encourages us to care for those in prison, but it can be easy to forget about those who are literally locked away and out of sight. Today we're talking about prison ministry with Regent alumnus Dr. William Wan, chair of the board of Prison Fellowship Singapore and General Secretary of the Singapore Kindness Movement. Join us as we hear about the hopeful and challenging work of caring for prisoners and those coping with life post-release––cultivating empathy, building a meaningful ministry, and nurturing faith beyond jailhouse religion.To learn more about Regent College and our upcoming Fall courses, visit: www.regent-college.edu.Regent College PodcastThanks for listening.

The global church has been deeply shaped by elements of Western culture––both good and bad. But as demographics change, the church has an opportunity to shake off cultural assumptions that are inhibiting the growth of God’s kingdom. Dr. Soong-Chan Rah, author of The Next Evangelicalism: Many Colors, argues that the current shifts in the global church are making space for a new movement of the Spirit: we just need to be open to receiving it.

Over the next little while, we'll be exploring questions you've always wanted to ask about the Old Testament. We're kicking it off this week with Matthew Lynch, Regent's new Assistant Professor of Old Testament. Is the idea of sin the same in the Old & New Testament? Was Jonah a real person? What's up with the Year of Jubilee––did it ever happen? And what (if anything) does the Old Testament tell us about life after death? Join us to hear Matt's responses to these questions and more.To learn more about Regent College and our upcoming courses, visit: www.regent-college.edu.Regent College PodcastThanks for listening.

On average, we spend at least 25% of our lives over the age of 60––and yet we often treat this time of life as a postscript. Today we sat down with Professor Emerita Dr. Maxine Hancock to talk about cultivating a life––and faith––that just gets richer with age. How do we nurture a personal faith marked by continual renewal? What do intergenerational friendships bring to the church? And what particular blessings can be given––or received––only by those in the later years of life? Join us for this rich and important conversation.To learn more about Regent College and our upcoming courses, visit: www.regent-college.edu.Regent College PodcastThanks for listening.
