    The Spanish-speaking church is exploding, with nearly half a billion Christians. Will the Church, particularly in Latin America, be able to keep up and disciple the next generation of believers?

    This is the goal of City to City Latin America, a church-planting network founded by the late Tim Keller. Our Connecting Podcast guest for this month is Andres Garza, the regional director of City to City Latin America.

    In May of 2025, Paul Tripp will be traveling to Santiago, Chile, to teach hundreds of pastors and church leaders from all over Latin America, equipping them to connect the transforming power of Jesus Christ to everyday life for their churches and congregations.

    We're excited to partner with Andres and City to City Latin America to bring the practical, everyday gospel message to the Spanish-speaking church. We hope you enjoy this conversation about how God is at work in Latin America!

    Joy. Sadness. Anger. Fear. Disgust.

    No, Paul isn’t interviewing the animators of a popular cartoon movie about emotions, but he is discussing emotions with biblical counselor Alasdair Groves in this month's episode of The Connecting Podcast.

    Emotions are complex, and the Bible teaches that they are an indispensable part of what makes us human. So get ready to explore, untangle, and engage with how God designed emotions for our good.

    "When justice is done, it is a joy to the righteous but terror to evildoers" (Proverbs 21:15). But what if the justice system is unjust?

    This month, attorney Matthew Martens joins us on the Connecting Podcast. He has both prosecuted and defended accused murderers, served a US Supreme Court Justice, and worked for the President Bush Administration.

    In his 25+ year career, he is one of a few attorneys who has won cases in all four areas of law: civil plaintiff, civil defendant, criminal prosecution, and criminal defendant.

    Let's discover what the Bible has to say about justice, and Matt's new book, Reforming Criminal Justice: A Christian Proposal.

    How does the gospel comfort us during the most painful experiences of life?

    Jackie and Jonny Gibson experienced crushing grief with the death and stillbirth of their child at 39 weeks. They have written two books—one for mothers and one for kids—to help the Church process this devastating form of loss while holding on to the comfort of Christ.

    Jackie is from Australia, and Jonny is from Northern Ireland. I know you'll be blessed by this gospel conversation on this month's Connecting Podcast!

    Becoming like Christ is a process, not an event. While we may only remember three or four dramatic life moments, grace transforms us in the 10,000 little moments of everyday life.

    So when Drew Dyck wrote his book, Just Show Up: How Small Acts of Faithfulness Change Everything, we had to invite him on to the podcast. He's hilarious, brilliant, and transparent.

    Faithful living in a fallen world can be exhausting, but the gospel is refreshing! Drew will remind you of that by pointing to Jesus!

    "And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ." - Philippians 1:6
