3 Questions to DIscern Mission in the Local Church : PP132

Episode Description from the Publisher

In this episode, I get super practical about mission in normal-sized churches. We walk through three big questions: Is anyone hungry? 🍽️ Is anyone lonely? 🧍‍♂️ Is anyone not safe? 🛟 I talk about why "mission" can't just be a side project for a few passionate people, and why words like outreach don't really help us get clear on what we're called to do. Instead, I unpack mission, mercy, and justice in everyday language and connect them to what's happening right around your church building—your Jerusalem. You'll hear real-world examples of hunger, loneliness, and safety issues in local schools, apartments, and senior communities, plus how a church can pick one thing and do it really well. If you're tired of random programs and want your church to have a clear, meaningful impact in your neighborhood, this episode is a great place to start.
