What are the greatest challenges facing global missions today, and how can churches pursue the Great Commission faithfully? In EP11, Dr. Kyle Brosseau joins Ryan Fullerton and Matthew Delaughter to discuss his experience serving with the International Mission Board in South Asia and Central Europe, and the trends he has observed in global missions. They talk about the spread of the prosperity gospel, the need for theological training, and why healthy local churches must remain central to the work of missions. The conversation also explores church planting movements, cross-cultural missionary preparation, the growth of missionary sending from the Majority World, and how Christians can pursue the glory of God without losing sight of the plight of the lost. From theological resources and language learning to the relationship between evangelism and church health, this conversation considers how churches can advance the Great Commission through faithful ministry. The Immanuel Network exists to help pastors plant and cultivate healthy churches for a global harvest. Hosted by Ryan Fullerton (Lead Pastor, Immanuel Baptist Church, Louisville) and Matthew Delaughter (Pastor, Immanuel Community Church, New Orleans).

What should young Christian men actually do if they want to get married? In this episode, Ryan Fullerton and Matthew Delaughter discuss Matthew’s article, Advice for Young Men in Finding a Wife. They talk about the need for proverbial wisdom in conversations about dating and marriage, why physical attraction matters without being everything, what men should look for in a wife, and what young men can cultivate in themselves as they pursue marriage. The conversation also explores confidence and competence, masculine and feminine virtues, the importance of the local church, practical wisdom for dating, and why sometimes young men simply need someone to tell them what to do. ━━━ In this conversation: - Why proverbial wisdom still has a place in conversations about dating- Physical attraction, character, and what men should look for in a wife- Alpha and beta characteristics and the importance of strength- Why confidence grows through competence- Masculine and feminine virtues and what is congruent with our nature- Why men should cultivate discipline, skills, and self-control- The need for practical and fatherly advice for young men- How the local church can provide wisdom and counsel- Why asking a woman out face-to-face may be worth the risk ━━━ The Immanuel Network exists to help pastors plant and cultivate healthy churches for a global harvest. Hosted by Ryan Fullerton (Lead Pastor, Immanuel Baptist Church, Louisville) and Matthew Delaughter (Pastor, Immanuel Community Church, New Orleans).

Join Pastor Ryan and Pastor Matthew with Aaron Renn as they talk about The Lack of Evangelical Elites. A quarter of America identifies as evangelical. But evangelicals are nearly absent from the institutions that shape American life — the Supreme Court, elite universities, major publications, and the high-leverage corners of business and media. In EP09, Aaron Renn joins Ryan Fullerton and Matthew Delaughter to ask why. They talk about what evangelicals lost when mainline Protestantism collapsed as a cultural pipeline, why rising evangelicals so often convert to Catholicism, what "profitable but prosaic" industries can and can't accomplish, why Catholic institutions out-mentor and out-fund evangelical ones, and what pastors can actually do to cultivate the next generation of evangelical leaders. Aaron Renn is the author of Life in the Negative World: Confronting Challenges in an Anti-Christian Culture (Zondervan, 2024). His essay "The Problem with the Evangelical Elite" appeared in First Things. The Immanuel Network exists to Help Pastors Plant and Cultivate Healthy Churches for a Global Harvest
