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

Mercy Aiken: It’s Not Your Job to Convert Anyone | Summer Series 2026
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What happens when sharing Jesus becomes a project to manage rather than a relationship built on love?
In this Summer Series conversation, Tim Stewart welcomes back Mercy Aiken, a peace advocate, author, and pilgrimage leader serving with Peace Catalyst International in Jordan.
Mercy shares what she is hearing from people from Gaza who have come to Jordan for medical care. She also tells stories of local teams providing food, shelter, practical care, prayer, and the simple assurance that those they serve have not been forgotten.
The conversation then turns toward a deeper question: How do followers of Jesus build genuine friendships across religious and cultural lines without treating people as projects?
Mercy challenges common assumptions about Christians in Palestine, reflects on the hospitality she has experienced among Muslims, and explains why she believes it is the Holy Spirit’s job to convert people. Our role is to love, listen, bear witness, and make room for the Spirit to work.
Mercy also reflects on the unique invitation of Jesus to know God as Father and shares stories of profound spiritual openness among Muslim and Jewish friends.
This is a candid conversation about suffering, peacemaking, dignity, and the quiet power of presence.
In This Episode
