This episode of The Holiness Today Podcast features Global Missions Director Jim Richie interviewing pastors Khalil and Randa, leaders in the Church of the Nazarene in Jordan.

Khalil highlights their mission in Cyprus which brings together young people from rival nations to plant churches. Despite regional conflict, Khalil and Randa report a flourishing revival, using social media to reach millions.

In this episode, Nate Gilmore has a conversation with Ingrid Lustaña.

Ingrid grew up in Florida with a dream of becoming an animator for Pixar or Dreamworks, but she eventually felt a call to the mission field that led her through Thailand and the Philippines. We talk about her transition from wanting to be in the movie credits to using those creative gifts for the church, as well as her experience as an award-winning children’s book author. Ingrid also shares openly about the "organized chaos" of raising three kids on the mission field and how they’ve learned to trust God’s GPS through some difficult seasons.

In case you missed it, the March/April 2026 issue of Holiness Today came out earlier this month. This edition is a deep dive into the book of Genesis, exploring the foundational stories of our faith and how they continue to shape our journey of holiness.

In this issue, we walk through the "days" of the patriarchs and the very beginnings of creation with a powerful lineup of scholars and leaders:

• Frank Moore explores "The Days of Creation," examining the spiritual insights we can gain from our physical senses.
• Jim Edlin reflects on "The Days of Adam," reminding us that Adam’s story of blessing and brokenness is also our story.
• Gabriel Benjiman looks at "The Days of Noah," using the ark as a witness to God’s gracious invitation.
• Timothy Green discusses "The Days of Abraham," focusing on the interwoven threads of call, promise, and covenant.
• Paige Graves examines "The Days of Isaac," describing him as the essential "middleman" of the divine covenant blessing.
• David Snodgrass writes on "The Days of Jacob," detailing the transformation from a life of striving to one of total dependence on God.
• T. Scott Daniels concludes the series with "The Days of Joseph," highlighting how God’s sovereign love turns harm into global redemption.

On this episode, we are featuring the audio from Andy Lauer’s "A Word From..." segment. Andy is the lead pastor of South Bend First Church of the Nazarene, and in this talk he discusses how Jesus Christ is present throughout the entire arc of salvation history—notably from the beginning in Genesis.

Stay tuned as we listen to Pastor Andy’s insights on finding Jesus in the biblical terrain of Genesis.
