Should Churches Have Vision and Mission Statements?

Reformed Churches' Bible College: PNG Lessons on Evangelism

Mark Mulder served as vice principal in John Calvin Christian school in the Perth area of Western Australia. In this fascinating interview, we learn how Mark and his wife Liz exchanged their comfortable suburban life for a life in a foreign mission field. They sold all they had to follow the Lord's calling. Mark was urged by several friends to apply for the position of Principal of The Reformed Churches' Bible College in Port Moresby PNG. At first he resisted  but on Liz's urging took on the challenge Mark now abounds in passion for the work of RCBC. Listen as Mark discuss the work of the Bible College and the lessons we can learn from mission in PNG for our own evangelism in the west. www.tyrannushallpodcast.ca www.facebook.com/tyrannushallpodcast

Should Churches Have Vision and Mission Statements?

If you know your church has great potential to impact its community and you believe you need a mission and vision statement written down before you get started, then this episode is for you. Winston and Bill pick the brain of marketing agency owner Chris vanPopta to explore the question: Does a church need a mission or vision statement to be on mission for Christ? Somewhere during the interview, Bill and Winston have the tables turned on them and Chris asks them some great questions too! The ending may surprise you. www.tyrannushallpodcast.ca www.facebook.com/tyrannushallpodcast

The Seminary and the Missional Mandate of the Church

Winston and Bill speak with Ben Westerveld to discuss the role of the seminary in promoting a missional mindset in the training of future pastors. Ben Westerveld is the new professor and principal of Farel, an institute for theological training to serve the ERQ (Église Réformée du Québec). How and should seminary training be adapting to our post-modern, post-christian, post-epidemic setting? www.tyrannushallpodcast.ca www.facebook.com/tyrannushallpodcast

Mission and Music

Our guests today are accomplished musicians. Tim is a member of a jazz band, and Kent is a principal participant of an annual “Reformed Strings Camp”. Both have a love for Reformed worship and liturgy and lead the singing in their local church. Bill and Winston explore the intersection between music and the missional call of the church. What kind of music is appropriate for worship? www.tyrannushallpodcast.ca www.facebook.com/tyrannushallpodcast

Missional Surprise

Pastor Randall Visscher and two leaders of the relatively new Refuge Church, in Langley BC are the guests on Tyrannus Hall. Mike Vandergugten and Jerome Lenkeek joined  those who had a vision for a missional church. Launched in July 2020, in the middle of Covid restrictions and lockdowns, the Lord has blessed this new congregation with fields ripe for harvest. Listen to these men relate how the Lord opened a wide door for effective work among Indian and Pakistani immigrants in their local communities. www.tyrannushallpodcast.ca www.facebook.com/tyrannushallpodcast
