Off To Jail (opens the original)

John Ensor and Mark keep unpacking John Piper's keynote on "Risk-Taking for Life and Fruitfulness," this time looking at what it means to suffer for the sake of Christ.

They tell John Ensor what it cost: a stolen ultrasound machine their first week, vandalism and bomb threats after Roe fell, and the day Jeannie walked back through the doors of the very building where she once h
Risk Taking for Life in Mozambique (opens the original)
Read excerpt
John Ensor and Mark Nicholson sit down with PassionLife Operations Manager Christian Harris as he and Mark prepare to board a plane for Mozambique — a country PassionLife had to cancel on in 2025 amid armed conflict, natural disasters, and post-election unrest. They talk through the real risks of the trip: carrying five portable ultrasound machines across borders where medical technology is routinely confiscated, as well as the careful vetting and follow-up that ensures every ultrasound placed a
