Father's Radical Turn From Partying To Mission
- The speaker recounts his father's college years and transformation after mission trips to Kyrgyzstan that reshaped his priorities.

Witness Starts At Home And Spreads Out
- Jesus commissions witnesses to begin locally: Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, then the ends of the earth.
- Luke frames witness as testifying that Jesus is the world's true Lord and kingdom authority before global expansion.
