Pod # 2 Twenty Years Experience

We want to be a catalyst for church planting

In this interview, I talk to a man who has over 20 years’ experience in four different countries in the Middle East. I asked him about doing ministry as a couple, how the church in the ME has been shaped by the culture around it, and what are some helpful trends he sees in missions right now. We also talk about leading MMBs, being catalysts for organic growth, and the relationship between MBBs and CBBs.

      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.
