The Practical Missions Podcast
Pod # 19 A Reformed Missionary
I want to plant a healthy, biblical church
In this Pod, I talk with a guy who approaches missions from a Reformed Baptist perspective. We have a fascinating conversation about what the church is and isn’t, the role of the local church in missions, what he thinks about CPMs and DMMs, how loneliness is apart of his experience, and much more.

People think working with the local church is a waste of time. But I want to see the local church became a model of what a biblical church could be.
