157. John Stange: The Compassionate Influencer

There aren't too many John Stanges around. They just don't exist. Now, John would say, "Well, that's a good thing, LOL!", but most who know him know that this world would be even MORE enhanced and blessed in just about every publishing, virtual-producing, podcasting and platform-creating outreach - if there WERE MORE just like him. Host, Sue Duffield, recalls the first time meeting this young leader as far back as the Pocono Mountain Bible Conference days, remembering just how special John was and is to this day. What an entertaining, enjoyable, informative and connecting conversation this episode is.. Take notes. John holds degrees in Bible, Education, and Counseling, is a certified speaker, trainer and coach with the John Maxwell Team, and serves as the Lead Pastor of Core Creek Community Church in Langhorne, PA. John is also an adjunct professor at Cairn University, where he teaches courses on church planting, theology, and counseling, and he serves as the Director of the National Mission Board which is a ministry that is focused on church planting and church health. John hosts four podcasts, "The Chapter-A-Day Audio Bible," "Daily Devotions with Pastor John," "Dwell on These Things," and "Platform Launchers." At present, his shows have been downloaded over 8 million times by listeners throughout the world. John's books are focused on spiritual growth, leadership, marriage and the practical and applicational aspects of following Jesus.
