CHECK OUT A NEW SERIES of the Metron Manager Podcast!

I am thrilled to launch this new series of the Metron Manager Podcast called New Podcast called Uganda Startup[Following The Journey of Matt and Jessica Brown]. 

American couple, Matt and Jessica Brown are relocating their family to the remote town of Karuma, Uganda. With extensive medical training, international experience and knowledge of multiple languages, the Brown family have developed a Marketplace solution to meet a crucial need in Uganda. Clean water. Their Non Profit organization, ‘Lilies IN the Field’, aims to stand up a company called Blue Mazzi as a marketplace response.

Follow the Brown family through the first 6 months of this Kingdom Enterprise. It’s going to be rough. Very rough. Building a business from the ground up in remote Uganda is likely one of the hardest Market Place Mission efforts that could be attempted. 

Follow this series of the Metron Manager Podcast and hear unscripted phone interviews and status reports from Matt and Jessica. You will learn the first hand realities, victories and miseries of their Kingdom venture. Access an unfiltered view of what it is like to co-labor with Christ in a Marketplace Enterprise. Follow the unfolding story of the Brown family into one of the most challenging regions of the world. Africa.

Follow the Metron Manager Podcast to hear regular episodes of the Uganda Startup series.

WELCOME TO THE METRON MANAGER PROJECT!
My Name is Jonathan Nowlen and I am the Founder of the Metron Manager Project and the Author of the book titled Managing Your Metron: A Practical Theology of Work, Mission and Meaning.

The Metron Manager Project is all about equipping you to become who you were originally designed to be and find your place in the Kingdom of God.

“I believe that one of the next great moves of God is going to be through the believers in the workplace.”
— BILLY GRAHAM (LATE 2000)

God has given me a vision to be part of what many believe is the next great move of God by launching the Metron Manager Project. I have been fully engaged in the cause of Christ and His Kingdom enterprise for over 25 years. As such I have gained wide experience and perspective on the trajectory of the modern mission effort. As a missionary kid I grew up primarily outside the USA in remote and developing countries. After embracing my own call to serve in missions I began working in the socially and economically devastated regions of the former Soviet Union in the early to mid 1990’s. From there I participated in or led missional efforts from Southeast Asia to South America, and from Europe to Africa, covering 60 countries.

I’ve seen the edges of heaven and walked in the streets of hell. I’ve seen the power of God transform lives and nations through average believers like myself who have chosen to hear and obey. I believe that we are entering a new era of mission in spiritual history. This era is marked by the missionizing of believers in the marketplace. ‘On Mission’ is the new mode of every believer in every sphere of society. My book, Managing Your Metron, launched this Metron Manager Project with the aim of providing a reformational understanding of Work, Mission and Meaning.

The vision of the Metron Manager Project is to provide training, resources and theology that will recover the dignity and mission of vocation. Billy Graham’s prescient statement about the next move of God coming through believers in the workplace is a vision of the future that I and many others believe has now arrived. It is time to rethink mission and the Kingdom of God as a new era is upon us. Spiritual history is demanding a broadening of our understanding of what it means to respond to the Great Commission. (Matthew 28:18-20) I invite you to join in this journey to become a Metron Manager and recover the dignity and mission of your vocation.
