Episodes
You can’t legally own a Bible, you can’t safely say names out loud, and you definitely can’t “do missions” the way most of us picture it, yet people are meeting Jesus and choosing to follow Him anyway. We sit down with Chris, Lori, and Heather from FBC to tell the story of a recent Middle East mission trip and the quiet, courageous work happening through trusted local partners.
We trace how Perspectives and...
What if joy isn’t a reward at the finish line but a sign you’re already on the right path? We sit down with our friend Faith, a teenager learning to trade fear for peace and tight control for open hands, and watch how Scripture, mentors, and missions weave into a coherent, hope-filled life. This isn’t theory. It’s a bus ride to the airport with a brave smile, Psalm 23 spoken over a nervous commute, and a simple list...
What if the safest place is not where risk is lowest, but where God has called you? That question threads through a wide-ranging conversation with Faith, a high school student whose quiet prayer for boldness grew into a clear mission identity and a heart for the nations. We share how surrender loosens our grip on control, how prayer became her lane of courage, and why simple presence can change a room—whether in Mex...
A high school senior named Faith tried to dodge a demanding missions course with every excuse in the book—time, cost, workload. Then the excuses crumbled, doors opened, and a quiet prayer for boldness began to change everything. What followed was a vivid dream about Jesus’ return, tears at youth camp, and a defining moment of surrender that turned fear into joy.
We sit down to talk about the subtle pull of ...
What if the strongest call on your life isn’t a U-turn, but a re-aiming of everything you already know how to do? That’s the heartbeat of this conversation with Sandra, a veteran educator whose “halftime” moment turned administrative chops and classroom empathy into fuel for global missions and church planting across the Middle East.
We walk through the unlikely path from a bulletin announcement about Peru ...
The songs reached us before we saw the faces—women in white dresses who had ridden hours in the back of a truck to greet us at the airport, singing it’s true, they’ve come. That moment set the tone for ten days in Masinja Village, Malawi, where radical hospitality, daily child feeding, and a hunger for Scripture collided into a story we’re still processing. We came to serve with Kelly and Greg and their partner New ...

What if multiplication looked less like a stage and more like a living room? We sit down to unpack a journey across North India—from the dusty lanes of Bihar to the radiant Golden Temple in Amritsar—and trace how a quiet network of relationships has become t...
A dusty road, a two-room house, and eighty neighbors pressing in to sing at full volume. That’s where we watched despair give way to freedom and a young farmer—months into his new faith—open his home night after night until ten house churches sprung up along a single stretch of road. We went from the weight of ritual in Bodh Gaya to a leader gathering that pulsed with joy, and the contrast reset our hearts: three mi...
What if a nation of 1.4 billion held entire communities who might live and die without ever hearing the name of Jesus? We sat down to talk through our recent journey to India, why we sent both our senior pastor and missions pastor, and what we learned as statistics turned into stories and faces. The scale is staggering, but the questions we asked were simple: Are the reports of explosive growth real, what does disci...
What does it really take to uproot your family and move to one of the most spiritually unreached regions on earth? J & C pull back the curtain on their remarkable two-year journey serving in North Africa, where Christians represent less than 1% of the population and open evangelism is prohibited.

What began in 2005 as a crisis hotline has evolved...
