S3:44 | Why a Fresh Look at Your Campus Matters

In this episode of the REACH podcast, the focus is on why taking a fresh look at your campus matters. It’s easy to get used to familiar spaces, ministry rhythms, and assumptions, but stepping back onto campus with fresh eyes can reveal new opportunities, changing student patterns, and overlooked places for connection. Using stories, examples, and the F.I.R.S.T. framework — Fan out, Inspect, Reimagine, Snap, and Talk — this episode encourages college ministers to rediscover their campus and approach the new season with renewed vision and energy.

S2:42 | BLI (Bible Leadership Institute): How Everyday Servanthood Shapes Kingdom Leaders (ft. 2025 BLIs)

In this REACH episode, we sit down with friends from our first-ever Bible Leadership Institute (BLI) cohort to unpack what a year of bi-vocational leadership training at the Acts 2 Training Center is like. In addition to classes and workshops, they share how God used serving behind the scenes at the Acts 2 Training Center (ATC) helped to stretch their servanthood muscles in surprising ways. Along the way, they talk about finding rest in daily Scripture, gleaning wisdom from seasoned pastors and Barnabas leaders, and gaining a “front-row seat” to what God is doing across youth, college, church plants, and global missions in our network. Whether you are in ministry, bivocational work, or just curious how leaders are formed over decades, this conversation offers an honest, hope-filled window into how ordinary faithfulness over time shapes kingdom leaders.

S2:41 | CPIs (Church Plant Interns): Giving Your First Year After Graduation to God’s Mission (ft. 2025 CPIs)

In this episode of the REACH podcast, we sit down with CPIs (Church Plant Interns) who chose to give their first year after graduation not to career or grad school, but to helping plant new churches in college towns. We trace the storyof our CPI program from its beginnings in 2014 at UC Santa Barbara through the “Great Scattering” to the recent teams at UIUC, MSU, and IU, where they witnessed salvations, baptisms, and countless behind‑the‑scenes stories of God at work. Along the way, we talk about calling, life on a church plant team, learning under pastors, and how a CPI year can clarify life purpose and set a long‑term trajectory for missions and ministry. Whether you’re in our network or just curious from the outside, this conversation offers an honest, faith‑building glimpse into what it’s really like to spend that precarious first post‑grad year on high‑stakes gospel mission as a CPI.

S2:40 | How Evangelism Road Trips Can Spark Faith on Any Campus

In this episode of the REACH podcast, Manny unpacks the purpose of ERTs, or evangelism road trips, as a practical way to step onto college campuses, engage students, and share the Gospel. He reflects on how going in person helps reawaken a heart for campus ministry, reveals the spiritual need across universities, and reminds listeners that there is still much “land” to be reached. Manny also introduces the G-SHOES framework, a simple set of steps for running an effective ERT, and shares stories that show how one campus conversation can become the beginning of someone’s journey toward faith.
