137 | Are you called to be a missionary?

The Resident Strangers crew is back from spring break and excited to jump back into conversations on topics that matter today! Over the next two weeks, Steve, Rich, and Sarah will be talking about missions.

Rich kicks things off with an important question: Why should followers of Christ engage in mission work at all? The answer becomes clear when we look at the Great Commission: Jesus’ final instruction to His followers to go into the world and make disciples.

Steve quickly points out that missions isn’t limited to being “somewhere overseas.” Every follower of Christ is called to live on mission right where they are. When we think of missions only as something that happens “over there,” we can easily miss the calling God has placed right in front of us. Missions isn’t simply a trip we take, it’s a way of life.

Serving others with a genuine heart is one of the most powerful ways to minister to people. In the conversation, Steve also addresses some of the questions and controversies that can surround intentional mission work.

We hope this discussion offers a fresh perspective and encourages you to live on mission today!
