info_outlineIn this compelling episode of The Stanley Jones Podcast Series, produced by the What It Takes Radio Company, host Stan Hustad issues both a tribute and a challenge. With humility and conviction, he reminds listeners that the enduring mission of E. Stanley Jones is not about preserving memories or institutions—it’s about empowering people. Specifically, it’s about equipping a new generation of young men and women of India to live out their faith with courage, creativity, and conviction in the modern world.
Stan begins by revisiting Jones’s vision of fully alive living—a faith not confined to dogma or fear, but one that brings the Kingdom of God into daily life now. Jones was not merely an evangelist; he was a peacemaker, educator, and reformer whose influence shaped both spiritual and civic life in India. His marriage to Mabel and his partnership with Indian leaders left a legacy that transcends borders.
Hustad then announces a “change of spirit and direction” for the Stanley Jones movement: from education about Jones to empowering new voices who embody his spirit. If Jones were alive today, he says, “he’d be podcasting in English, Hindi, and every major Indian language”—raising up local voices to share the gospel and wisdom of living in God’s Kingdom through media, business, and everyday leadership.
The heart of this episode is a call to invest in and mentor young Indian men and women of faith—those who can speak to their own people in their own language and culture. The mission is not to create another school or program but to nurture living witnesses: teachers, broadcasters, entrepreneurs, and peacemakers who will carry the torch of Stanley Jones forward.
As Hustad powerfully concludes, “It’s not about us. It’s about them.” The vision is clear—to ignite a movement where the message of Jesus, embodied through the life and voice of Stanley Jones, continues to thrive in India and beyond.
Things to Remember
• The Kingdom of God is now. Faith is not just for the hereafter but for fully alive living today.
• Legacy is people, not programs. The most enduring tribute to Stanley Jones is found in the lives of those who continue his mission.
• Empower local leaders. The gospel grows strongest when it takes root in native soil, in native voices.
• Be a modern missionary. Use today’s tools—podcasts, social media, storytelling—to carry timeless truth into a new world.
Things to Think About and Share
• How can you support or mentor young faith leaders, especially those in India or the diaspora?
• What might your own “fully alive” life look like if you lived daily in the awareness that God’s Kingdom is now?
• Are you ready to move from studying legacy to living it?
