  • Very helpful, and informative

    I have friends and family that are in missions locally and abroad. While my husband and I are not, we want to know how to bless, pray and care for the missionaries we support, as well as keep tabs on how the kingdom is moving forward and the resources out there! This is the podcast for you if that’s what you’re looking for. Highly recommend!

  • Biblical, diverse & Spirit-filled podcast!

    I found this podcast when a guest shared the episode he was in on a missions fb group I am a part of! I absolutely love it! I have recommended it to several others and learn so much every episode I listen to! The guests on the podcast come from all over the world and come from various different backgrounds, which is so important and rare! Everything is focused on Jesus, the Bible, and prayer with the desire to make the gospel know to the most unreached, unengaged parts of the world! As a future ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

257: A Closer Look at Barnabas – Josh Irby
Q: What practical steps can churches take to improve partnership and visibility with marginalized communities?
Methods include reverse seminars, listening-first approaches, and actively transferring the technology and know-how that enable local churches to sustain mission work.
257: A Closer Look at Barnabas – Josh Irby
Q: How should the Global South shape Western involvement in missions today?
The conversation argues against paternalism and urges ongoing participation and mutual learning, emphasizing listening to local partners, sharing leadership, and balancing sending with capacity-building.
257: A Closer Look at Barnabas – Josh Irby
Q: Could you introduce the Barnabas Factor and what makes this book different from other treatments of Barnabas?
The Barnabas Factor compiles twelve global perspectives from leaders around the world, written collaboratively to present a holistic, relational view of Barnabas' life and mission leadership, rather than a single author's interpretation.
256: Are Global Missions Colonial? – Edward Smither
Q: What parts of the colonial-era criticism of missions do you think are fair, and where is the bigger picture missing?
The fair parts acknowledge real power imbalances and the fact that some mission efforts were entangled with colonial agendas; the bigger picture includes counterstories of care and mutuality, ongoing shifts toward indigenous leadership, and the reality that Christianity and mission are polycentric today.
254: Tensions and Trends in Global Missions Today – Ted Esler
Q: How does the Global South influence these trends?
There is a shift toward more conservative, locally grounded approaches, with movements like GAFCON and a push for reforming mission structures to reflect local contexts and leadership.
