    How Do Hard Things Mold and Shape Our Resiliency?

    What if the hard seasons we want to resist are the very things God uses to prepare and equip us for His calling?  In this episode, Jeff and Iris share how God used uncertainty and surrender to build a resilient faith—one that could say yes when He called them to go to Africa to reach people who had never heard the Gospel and stay faithful in years of fruitlessness. Their story reveals how endurance is formed in hidden places and how obedience is often shaped long before the fruit is seen. This conversation invites us to see our own hard places as preparation, not delay.

    Secrecy Is the Place Sin Grows: A Conversation with Victor Marx

    Child exploitation—not just trafficking—is the deeper issue, and the solution begins long before an arrest is made. Riaan and Britt unpack the real gap between advocacy and activation, and how parents, single men, and the Church can fight back through accountability, purity, and intentional discipleship. You’re not called to make people comfortable—you’re called to make them holy.

In this episode, Riaan and Britt share personal stories of hardship on the mission field and why the Church must stop unintentionally wounding its missionaries through ignorance or silence.

    You Cannot Give Away A Fire You Don't Possess

    The Great Commission is not divided between Matthew 28, Mark 16, and Acts 1—it’s one call, for every believer, especially pastors. Riaan and Britt continue their conversation with Cameron Brice, confronting the disconnect between the pulpit and the mission field. You can’t give away what you don’t possess—so get in the field, carry the fire, and love the missionaries you're sending.

    Disappointment Happens in The Gap Between Expectation and Reality

In this episode, Riaan and Britt sit down with Cameron Brice to discuss the tension between expectation and reality on the mission field. They dive into why obedience always impacts more than just you. If you’re anchored in the truth that God is setting the stage, you’ll find strength to keep saying yes, even when it’s hard.

    Safety in Ministry is Just an Illusion...

    In this episode, Cameron Brice, pastor of Covenant Love Church, shares his journey from growing up a pastor’s kid to answering the call to missions. His life has been driven by a hunger for authentic expressions of God’s presence, and Cameron’s story is a powerful reminder that our “yes” to God is settled by His faithfulness, not our comfort. If you're wrestling with fear or wondering what obedience looks like, we pray this conversation will challenge and propel you forward in your walk with Jesus.
