In this episode, I visit with dance educator and author Mary Bawden. She began choreographing dance within church services in 1994. In 2016, she noticed a dangerous trend in children’s dance and founded DA:NCE (Dance Awareness: No Child Exploited) in an effort to raise awareness and educate others to take action and stop the hypersexualization of children in dance choreography, costumes, and music.
Alongside dance ministry, she developed the Soul to Sole Choreography method transforming dance movement into prayer-in-motion, providing education and resources to support a Christian dance ministry.
Mary Bawden received a BA in modern dance from the University of California Riverside, a MA in worship (emphasis in dance) from Hope International University in Fullerton CA, and a California secondary teaching credential.

Dr. Mark Fairchild, a world-renowned archaeologist, explains the chronology of the Apostle Paul’s time after the Damascus road experience and before his three missionary journeys. Was there an earlier missionary journey?
After Paul’s conversion on the road to Damascus, his life was imperiled, and he fled to his hometown of Tarsus. There, for the next seven to nine years, the apostle began to share his new faith with people in communities throughout Syria and Cilicia. This early mission of Paul’s was never mentioned in the book of Acts, yet it was here that Paul learned and developed a ministry to non-Jewish people (the Gentiles). Where did Paul go and how did he approach the task?
Since joining the faculty at Huntington University, Dr. Fairchild has made numerous academic contributions to biblical research. A two-hour documentary film entitled “The Last Apostle” followed Fairchild on his travels as he retraced the course of Paul’s journeys through Cyprus and Anatolia.

In this episode, hear from Lynnette Horwath, a local church volunteer, and how her church is providing a family restoration and preservation ministry for parents seeking permanency with their children.
Failing parents receive a court mandate to take a parenting class. Secular parenting classes are only marginally successful. “Families Count” (https://lifelinechild.org/families-count/) provides a biblically-based curriculum of parenting classes, which are infused with the love of Christ through a local church.
Lynnette also shares why she was so attracted to volunteer for SAT-7 USA (https://www.sat7usa.org/volunteer/).
