In the fourth episode of the Same Jesus podcast, Russell and A.J. take a look at how Foursquare empowers all people regardless of gender, geography, age or culture. This includes celebrating women in senior leadership, raising up local indigenous leaders according to the Four-Stage Development Model, and recognizing those who have different gifts, whether old, young, son or daughter. (Acts 2).
