Digging Wells of Trust with Tim Austin

1/2/2024
In this episode of Navigate, Tim is reflecting on building trust through transition seasons. Navigating change requires trust building. But that’s not always easy. It can sometimes feel like digging a well in hostile or unknown territory. Tim compares the process of trust building with the ancient practice of digging wells. In the Bible, wells were regularly places of divine appointments and answers to prayer. They were places of provision, but also points of contact. A good well was reliable, life-giving and life-sustaining. Likewise, when we dig wells of trust through the seasons - with God and with others - we are storing up a reliable source of relational capital, namely trust. Tim offers some important communication tips to help us dig wells of trust in transition. Sources: Craig Groeschel quote The Holy Bible (NIV Version) Support the showThanks for listening in!

Identity in Transition with Tim Austin

10/31/2023
How are you leaning into change in this season? What’s your posture like? Have you been resisting or embracing the changes in your life? In this episode of Navigate with Tim Austin, Tim reflects upon seasons of change and how these become opportunities to discover and embrace our true identities and live with greater purpose and fulfillment. Tim has a deep appreciation for the many creative ways seasonal change has helped him approach change on a personal level. Tim says, "Sometimes we might resist change because of the way it challenges our sense of identity and purpose. I’ve come to view certain transition seasons as an opportunity for shedding and letting go of the non-essentials. For getting back to what matters. For learning to walk out my days with less baggage, not more."

Third Culture Kid Insights with Luke Austin

8/17/2021
Welcome to this 40th episode of Navigate! This milestone episode marks the completion of three conversations -one with each of Tim's adult Third Culture Kids. By the way, if you’re unfamiliar with the term Third Culture Kid, or TCK for short, have a listen to episode 39, where podcast guest Chad Phillips does a great job of unpacking that for us. This episode conversation brings in Luke Austin. Luke has spent the majority of his life outside of the United States, which happens to be his passport country. During his childhood and teen years, Luke roamed the globe with his parents, residing mostly in Central Asia and Turkey. Luke and his family returned to the U.S. in 2016, the summer he graduated from high school. Luke currently lives with his wife Maria in Chicago, where he works as a digital marketing team leader with an Orange County based company. The Austin family recently had the opportunity to return to Turkey for a brief visit, and this conversation takes place from there. As a heads up, there is an added touch of realism to this conversation. The context is outside on the terrace of the Austin's guest apartment, where Tim and Luke had some gusty winds to deal with. Nonetheless we think you’re going to enjoy getting to know Tim's son Luke Austin… Here's some additional resources on the topic of TCK's: Podcast Episodes: Core Values with Adrianne Verheyen Third Culture Kids with Emma Austin Third Culture Kids and Transition with Chad Phillips TCK Re-Entry/Transition: https://interactionintl.org/programs/transition-seminar/ https://www.barnabas.org/member-care/events/mk-transitional-seminar Books: Third Culture Kids: Growing Up Among Worlds, by David C.

Third Culture Kids and Transition with Chad Phillips

8/12/2021
Third Culture Kids or TCK’s for short…Who are they and what defines them? How did the term originate? And why is it important for us to understand the unique opportunities and challenges they face? You'll hear about all of this and more with Tim's good friend and guest on the show, Chad Phillips. Chad Phillips is a TCK from South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, and The Netherlands. He spent his first 18 years overseas. He also served TCKs internationally in Singapore and Belgium. Chad has been directing International Society of Missionary Kids (ISMK) since 2004, and continues to coach TCKs (and their families) on a global scale. He has an M.A. in Christian Ministries from AGTS, with an emphasis in life coaching and eight years of professional life-coaching experience. After graduating high school from The American School of The Hague, Chad went to North Central University in Minneapolis, and did his internship in Singapore. It was during his college years that Chad met his beautiful bride, Dargan. Chad and Dargan are parents to two young adult TCK’s, Katherine and Graham. TCK’s are an amazing group of human beings. Tim and his wife Eve are parents to three TCK’s, so they are definitely near and dear to his heart and the motivation for producing this series of episodes about TCK's. What's your relationship to TCK's, or what could it be? What might be your call to action in response to this conversation? Raising awareness in your church community? Befriending a TCK? Reaching out to the parents of a TCK? Supporting those like Chad and Dargan Phillips who are on the front lines working with TCK’s?

Third Culture Kids with Emma Austin

Tim's guest for this episode is Emma Austin, a young adult TCK who has spent most of her life living in Central Asia and Turkey. She is also Tim's daughter. Navigating transition from high school to the next thing can be challenging for any young adult, but TCK's bring a unique set of challenges and strengths to the process. Join Tim and Emma as they talk about what it's like to journey with God and surrender to Him through big choices. Follow Emma's blog Support Emma Notes: The term third culture kid (TCK) may be new to some. TCK's are people who were raised in a culture other than their parents' or the culture of their country of nationality, and also live in a different environment during a significant part of their child development years. They typically are exposed to a greater volume and variety of cultural influences than those who grow up in one particular cultural setting. The term applies to both adults and children, as the term "kid" refers to the individual's formative or developmental years. TCKs move between cultures before they have had the opportunity to fully develop their personal and cultural identity. The first culture of such individuals refers to the culture of the country from which the parents originated, the second culture refers to the culture in which the family currently resides, and the third culture refers to the amalgamation of these two cultures. (Source: Wikipedia) Tim and his wife Eve have raised three TCK's, who are now young adults with some stories to tell. Support the showThanks for listening in!
