WAA Podcast Episode 18: Adventists Making Headlines (41:53)





Chilean miners rescued at Camp Hope

  Welcome to another podcast episode of “What’s an Adventist?”

Some people may think that Adventists are an exclusive or “cultish” group of people that only take care of their own. But although Adventists aren’t publicized as much as other Christian denominations, they are still prominently involved behind the scenes of many of today’s mainstream news stories.

This week Jesse Sias goes solo to bring you some of the stories around the world where Adventists are making a difference. Whether a need is found in the collapsed mines of Chile or in the frigid land of the Arctic, Adventists are there to provide hope and relief in order to follow Christ’s example of love and compassion and to finish the work of the gospel.

WAA Podcast Episode 17: Are 150 Years Worth Celebrating? (42:10)

The first Seventh-day Adventist church, Washington, NH

This October Adventism celebrated its 150th anniversary as a Christian denomination. Over the course of 150 years Adventism has grown to be a global movement and today is responsible for the largest Protestant network of schools, hospitals, and churches worldwide. Although these are impressive milestones, might there be a reason to not get too excited? (Click on title to hear podcast)

This week Jesse Sias and Samuel Ikonne talk about some of the history behind the organization of the Seventh-day Adventist church and how although its anniversary is something to celebrate, it’s also an opportunity to reflect on the spiritual work that needs to be done as Christ's coming draws near.

WAA Podcast Episode 15: On the Road to Discipleship (44:31)

Welcome back to another podcast episode of "What's an Adventist?"

Adventists, like many other Christian groups, believe that the only way to share the gospel with others is through discipleship. Discipleship is all about partnering with other people in order to encourage them to follow Jesus.

For Tyler Bower discipleship has been a journey filled with many lessons and blessings. Tyler didn't grow up in an Adventist family, but when he invited Jesus into his life and became an Adventist he felt the Lord calling him to be a disciple and to encourage others to follow Jesus also. Tyler went into ministry and has now been an Adventist pastor for 10 years (Click on title to hear podcast).

This week Jesse Sias and Samuel Ikonne talk with Pastor Bower about how he became Adventist and about his journey to being a follower of Jesus.
