Pod #38 Missions takes a toll on the body
When a breakthrough does come, a lot of heaviness comes with it
In this Pod, I talk to a couple who address the challenges of moving countries and people groups during a season of high success. We also talk about the toll and stress missions has on the body, what kind of boundaries you need to get rid of and which ones you need to keep. And finally, we have a very interesting conversation about mixed motives on the field and how pride and pure desires are mingled together in the heart of the worker.

Don’t expect to come out of these kinds of experiences without being marred in the end. After we saw an amazing breakthrough and the prayers of hundreds of people were being answered, I started to feel this kind punch-in-the gut a kind of yuck feeling.
