Have you ever made significant life decisions based on a single word from the Lord? Barron talks with Dan and Hailey MacLeod about how a chance meeting at a Bible School dormitory led to founding a church in Halifax, Canada and then on to the missions field.

Why is it important to prioritize physical self-care? Barron and Dave talk about how taking care of our physical health is honoring The Creator who gave us our bodies. To do otherwise is to squander the resources inwhich we were given.
Taking care of yourself physically is like maintaining a high-performance vehicle; you wouldn't drive a Ferrari on empty, so why treat your body any differently? Plus, being a good steward of our physical body ensures we're always ready to tackle life's twists and turns with energy and resilience.

Cultivating Excellence: A Journey to Authentic Apostolic Impact.
This world needs an authentic Apostolic experience that will create a meaningful impact in their lives. Whether you are a pastor, church leader, or congregant, you owe those in your sphere of influence a chance to have a genuine encounter with Jesus Christ. This podcast is not focused on giving spiritual inspiration or divine revelation. However, God can use this content to produce those things.
Instead, we are looking to give you the tools to establish or refine your organization’s culture of excellence. Is your congregation a revolving door of first-time friends? We want to provide you with the tools to evaluate your processes and systems. Would you like to get more people involved? This podcast will discuss the techniques of how to effectively build a team. You preach the great sermon or teach the best lesson, but it won’t help anyone if they never heard it. Here at The Bottom Half is Red, we want to partner with you to help you reach your world for Jesus.
