Impact Nations Podcast

Welcome to the Impact Nations Podcast, where we explore what it means to live out the Gospel—not just in theory, but in everyday life.

Hosted by Tim Stewart, often joined by Impact Nations co-founder Steve Stewart, this podcast brings together theology, real-world stories, and practical ministry to help you see how the Kingdom of God transforms lives—both spiritually and physically.

We believe the Gospel is more than words.

It’s good news for the poor, freedom for the oppressed, healing for the broken, and purpose for every person.

On this channel, you’ll find:

Biblical teaching that is thoughtful, accessible, and deeply rooted in Scripture
Podcast series (like Echoes of Eden) that explore the big themes of the Bible
Real stories of transformation from around the world
Conversations with leaders and partners on the frontlines of global ministry
Insights into Journeys of Compassion—our short-term missions experiences that change lives
Honest discussions about faith, leadership, justice, and the tension between the supernatural and the practical

For over 20 years, Impact Nations has partnered with local leaders in nations like Uganda, India, Malawi, Nepal, Pakistan, and beyond—bringing rescue, restoration, and long-term transformation.

This podcast is an invitation to:

Think more deeply about your faith
See the Gospel more clearly
And discover your role in God’s work in the world

Few teachings of Jesus challenge us more than His call to love our enemies.

In this episode of Summer Series 2026, Tim Stewart welcomes Father John Dear—Catholic priest, internationally recognized peace activist, author, and founder of the Beatitudes Center for the Nonviolent Jesus.

Together they explore what happens when we read the Gospels through the lens of peace. The conversation examines the Sermon on the Mount, the cross, loving our enemies, discipleship, nuclear weapons, restorative justice, and the Church's calling to embody the peace of Christ.

Whether this conversation confirms your convictions or challenges them, it offers an invitation to read the Gospels with fresh eyes and wrestle honestly with the teachings of Jesus.
