Listen Frontier The Frontier Listen Frontier is a podcast exploring the investigative journalism of The Frontier and featuring conversations with those on the frontlines of Oklahoma's most important stories. At The Frontier, our mission is to hold public officials accountable, give a voice to the powerless and tell the stories that others are afraid to tell, or that illuminate the lives of people in our community. We will shine a light on hypocrisy, fraud, abuse and wrongdoing at all levels in our community and state. We will delve into complex issues and explain them to our readers, arming them with the information they need to make change. Rethink Missions Podcast Jeremy Wardlaw My name is Jeremy Wardlaw. My wife and I are aspiring church planters in West Africa. We are passionate about missions, but we know that we have much to learn from those who have gone before. I invite you to follow along with me as I gather stories and life lessons from frontier church planters and missionaries to unreached people groups. The Missions Drop Frontier Ventures What prevents the Gospel from creating a ripple effect when it first enters a new people or place? This is what the Missions Drop Podcast is all about. Ideally, the Gospel works in a people like a drop of water on a lake that spreads out to the edges. However, there are boundaries and barriers that stop the Gospel from transforming hearts, minds, bodies, and souls. We seek to create conversations that continue the ripple effect of the Gospel right where we are and beyond. Final Frontiers Radio Show Joshua Martyn Spotlighting inspiring missionary endeavors around the WORLD. Our mission statement since our beginning in 1986 has been: "Through the funding of national and native preachers, we endeavor to effectively advance the Gospel where it has never been preached before." We don't play at missions. We are serious, career missionaries, who have given our time and abilities to reach the tribes and nations that are primarily closed to us - by supporting the men who God already has in place - helping them evangelize and train others. It is our hope that you too, whether missionary, pastor or layman; whether church, bible study group, individual or family, will help us help them. We fully believe that we can present the gospel to every man, woman, and child alive in our lifetime - if enough of you join with us to accomplish that goal.
