Pod # 21 The Joy of Surrender
No one is refreshed after binge-watching Netflix
In this Pod, my guest has some amazing things to say about discipleship and what to do with a new believer. He also shares some interesting details about how his family is part of his ministry. Then we get down into the weeds of spiritual practices like solitude, fasting, and rest. Every word is worth listening to.

We shouldn’t assume that every worker has a genuine, deep walk with Christ, that they are people of prayer, that they themselves are actually living by the word of God, feeding on it and being obedient to it.

Pod # 16 I talk about God who can completely lift my shame
I talk to someone who clearly knows a lot about doing missions in the Arab World. We talked about forgiveness in the Arab context, some keys to longevity, and bringing the Gospel to the least reach women in the region. We also take an important look at raising children on the field.
Pod # 3 I thought by ignoring the challenges of re-entry, they wouldn’t show up
I talk to a good friend of mine who left the field several years ago. He speaks very vulnerably and honestly about his post re-entry doubts, anxiety, and depression, and how he managed to hold on to his faith.
