American missionary Heidi Baker says she's been preaching God's word for 50 years but 1995 was the year when life changed and she answered the call to go to Mozambique. She has been there ever since. Through her humanitarian organisation Iris Global she has been serving some of the most poor in the region whether that was helping families in crisis, caring for orphans or being a vessel of healing for those with real debilitating illnesses through God's grace. Her work has put her and her family in the cross hairs of ISIS militants and she has had to make difficult decisions about the safety of those closest to her. However, through all that she has found a way to minister to those in her community and found a way to love her enemies. In this powerful interview Heidi talks about her decades of dedication to God, her hope and happiness for the future of the quiet revolution, her pride in her own university work and God's unfailing Grace.

Celebrating 1000 episodes of The Leadership Show this month, we dip into the archive to feature parts of two classic shows as Andy Peck talks with Dallas Willard, author of 'Personal Religion, Public Reality?: Towards a Knowledge of Faith' and David Heywood, author of 'Reimagining Ministerial formation'. With Dallas they look at the four questions everyone has to deal with and what it actually means to follow Jesus in the kingdom of God. With David they look at why ‘every member ministry’ requires a major change in culture in many local churches and at a practical way to help Christians grow spiritually.
