  • A needed resource for the Church today

    The modern Church is privileged to have no shortage of books and podcasts making theology accessible to the everyday believer, but where are all the resources that do the same for missiology? Ephesiology is a needed resource to help the common believer understand how vital it is to foster a missiological theology as they live out their faith.

  • A game changer

    I think it really challenges the way we do ministry coming from a Western background. For years, I felt like I struggled a lot when it came to making disciples. Hearing from these guys really affirmed the difficulties I’ve faced but also encouraged me to continue down this journey as a student always wanting to learn and being open to making mistakes. Learning from the movement in Ephesus makes you wonder: why not here?

  • The absence of light is darkness

    This Podcast is another example of the systemic reduction of the gospel to an apology for how it makes people feel. Hope you find a real surge in listeners as you slowly reduce the light and promote darkness.
