This show is one of the few places where I have found a wonderful balance of trying to encourage people to go and yet also honoring those who give, play administrative roles, and raise up the next generation of Christians. I am so thankful and love to listen. Thank you!!
I love hearing the different missionary guests and their experiences, great balance between theology and real life mission experiences.
This podcast has been helpful for thinking through so many different facets of missions. I appreciate the evangelical, gospel-focused, church-centered handling of each topic and guest with a tactful bias toward reformed theology.
As missionaries, this has helped us think through our relationship to our supporting churches, evangelism, churches in East Africa, and parachurch organizations.
Thanks for your helpful teaching.
Alex and Scott, thanks for your commitment to God, His gospel, and the church. You are making an impact for Jesus Christ.
This podcast is GOLD in helping people consider how we can walk faithfully in the field of mission.
