Transformative Journeys: From Nairobi to Global Impact with Nthenya Macharia

On The Joyful Exchange Podcast, Simon chats with Nthenya Macharia, the International Board Chair of Youth for Christ (YFC). Born and raised in Nairobi, Kenya, Nthenya shares her journey from attending YFC events as a child to touring in the ministry with Billy Graham. Today, she is an entrepreneur working in communications, PR, and events, consulting corporations on how soft skills—appearance, behavior, and communication—can restore humanity in an AI-driven world. In this episode, they discuss global youth challenges, particularly identity, and celebrate the YFC staff serving in over 140 nations, often under the most difficult circumstances. The podcast was recorded during FFTN's Distribution Gathering, in San Juan, Puerto Rico - which Nthenya describes as a “kingdom party!” For more details on the Podcast see ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.fftn.org/joyfulexchange⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [www.fftn.org/joyfulexchange⁠⁠⁠⁠] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Overview: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/fftn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠ [https://linktr.ee/fftn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ] Updates: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/yfcfftn/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/yfcfftn/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Donate: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://fftn.org/donate/⁠⁠ [https://fftn.org/donate/⁠⁠]
