Change Is in the Air – Again!
Change is inevitable. Yes, I know. We get used to items being in a certain place at the store, and then someone goes and rearranges everything. It can be annoying sometimes, but I promise I’m trying to make the upcoming changes as painless and worry-free as possible!
First, you may have already noticed a difference to the website. Let me explain. In the past, most changes to the site and its URL were because of other aspects of the ministry changing. The Kingdom Hero Blogcast became The Kingdom Hero Show, then later became The Kingdom Light podcast. As that happened, the site URL had to change to match. But I think I have a fix for that…
The thing that has never changed over the years is GCM. That was the original name for the ministry God helped me launch in 2011. Great Commission Ministries did recently merge with CaveMedia, becoming Great Commission Media, but it remained GCM. Since GCMedia is the “parent company” of every aspect of this ministry, I’ve finally realized that THAT’s what should be reflected in the website name as well.
So, as of today, our official site URL has changed from TheKingdomLight.com to TheGCMedia.com. If you need to re-bookmark us, you have plenty of time. The old site address will continue to work until August of 2026. Still, why wait, right? And hopefully, there will be no need to change the URL again. Maybe.
Secondly, God has been stirring something in me lately. Got me to thinking about some things differently. And got me to feeling like making another change in the current podcast’s name. This one took me a while to get my head around. I have always resisted naming a show after myself. I never wanted to give anyone the notion that it’s all about me! No!
The show, for me, has long been the main extension of this ministry. No matter what the show was named before, it always had to reflect the mission of the ministry because THAT’s what’s important! Right? Why, God, why would I ever need to name it after myself? It’s about Him, not me. This makes me feel really uncomfortable to even consider it.
Then I realized… Naming the show after me doesn’t mean it’s about me. By doing so, I’m taking responsibility for it – I’m owning it. Who’s responsible for how I make this ministry look? Me. Who’s responsible for the words I speak? Me. Who’s to blame when I get it wrong? Me. Wait, huh? Oh yeah, I am indeed fallible. I am capable of messing up. If that happens, who should get the black mark? This ministry? Christianity in general? NO! Me! I should own my own mistakes. For sure.
I said all that to say this: The current name and format of the podcast will be changing again in the coming weeks. The Kingdom Light will be replaced with – simply – STACE.
That’s right. This STACE show will – quite simply – be MY own opinions based on MY morals and MY beliefs and how I understand the Bible. I think God’s telling me to OWN my beliefs and then OWN how I treat the ministry HE gave me. I’m imperfect and I should own those imperfections.
Somehow, that makes sense to me. Give God the glory, give Stace the responsibility so he has to own everything he says about God. Ya see what I’m saying, right? Little bit?
Anyhow, that’s the scoop on current and soon-coming updates for GCM. Thanks for following me on this journey! God bless, and hold me accountable for whatever happens here next. Ya dig? A’ight den.
PEACE
