Sidewalk Conversations
"Let the one who thinks he stands, take heed lest he fall..." (1 Corinthians 10:12)
Standing strong and remaining true to your calling is no easy task. No one sets out to crash and burn. In fact, it's actually the opposite, most people want to stand strong, remain effective, and be true to their values all the way through to the end. But, it is really hard to do.
In these interviews, Piet Van Waarde (a 40 year veteran of pastoral ministry) has heart-to-heart conversations with ordinary people about what it takes to stay faithful and effective in the things that matter most.

Hey friends, uh this is Pete Van Ward, the host of Sidewalk Conversations. And I want to just give you a bit of a heads up. Uh we are going to be making a transition with this channel and this playlist. And so there may be a period of time where we do a pause as we sort out like what the next season looks like, where we're going to be doing our filming and all the things. And so uh I I would just ask you for two things. One, uh be patient with us in the process as we sort through these things. Uh know that we'll do our best to stay, you know, communicating with you about what this looks like and how this is gonna play itself out. Um and we promise we're gonna we're gonna be coming back. Don't think we've forgotten about you. But then secondly, I would invite for your prayers because there are a number of variables and moving parts that are going to impact what this looks like uh going forward. And I'm just I'm I'm asking God for both the wisdom and the favor for this to play out in exactly the way that He has in mind. And that means that a number of different pieces have to fall in place. And I'm taking it on faith that they will. Um and so pray for us that God will give us the favor that we need, the resources that we need, and uh and open the right doors so that we can continue to fill the calling that we believe this particular broadcast is supposed to fill. Uh, along the way, as you feel inspired and prompted, I would also invite you to consider uh making a donation to the foundation. Uh you can either do that through our Patreon page or you can do it directly, even through Venmo and PayPal, because those accounts are set up to fund our foundation. And all of those resources that you donate will help us in this season of transition. And so thank you for your prayers. Thank you for your hanging with us and pay and your patience. But I am really excited about what this is going to look like as we go down the road. So thanks for joining us and until next time.
