Thinking about mission trips might excite you or it might make you nervous that God will call you to sacrifice more than you have planned. This conversation explores the mission field that doesn’t require travel.

Mekdes Haddis shares her story of growing up in Ethiopia, coming to the states for college, and quickly realizing how the western church approaches global mission work - often without the input of people who know the culture, language and landscape.

This episode is for anyone interested in loving their neighbor locally or globally, while asking better questions about what help looks like and how to offer it with curiosity, humility and human dignity. Share this with a ministry leader to encourage their outreach to have an even greater impact.

Science and faith are often pitted against each other in a battle where only one can be believed to be true. But neuroscientist Dr. Lee Warren argues that, not only can they co-exist, they are mutually beneficial.

This episode provides scientific data, as well as practical applications, for how you can make structural changes to your brain in order to become more mentally and physically healthy. You can heal from trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, worry and loneliness without spiritual platitudes to live the whole life that God created you for.

Political strategists often teach from an agenda, with the motive of changing your mind. But Justin Giboney doesn’t want to convince you to vote with him. He is modeling a better Christian witness: one that chooses love of neighbor over partisan loyalty.

This episode is for everyone who is tired of the finger pointing, demonization that blames the other side without carefully reflecting on it’s own shortcomings. You’ll learn to exit the culture war, stay rooted in scripture, tell the truth without contempt, care about justice and hold on to hope without losing your soul.
