    Mission Post | From Finals to the Field with VSM Students

    From Navy diver to missionary in Colombia—this is a story of adventure, calling, and surrender. In this episode, Chesley shares how a life spent chasing adventure—from the U.S. Navy, MMA fighting, commercial diving, and underwater robotics—ultimately led him to something greater: the call of God. Raised in a pastor’s home, Chesley first sensed God’s calling at a young age—but like many, life took him in a different direction. It wasn’t until years later, at the height of a successful and exciting career, that God made it clear: it was time to go. Now serving as a missionary in Medellín, Colombia, Chesley reflects on what it means to leave everything behind, trust God fully, and live with eternal purpose. 👉 If you’ve ever wrestled with God’s calling, purpose, or missions, this conversation is for you. Key Themes: • Calling vs. comfort • Purpose vs. adventure • Christian missions testimony • Obedience to God • The urgency of the gospel SUBSCRIBE to our podcast "Mission Post" on all platforms.

Quotes: 🔥 Calling & Purpose “I don’t care what I do in life—I just want adventure.” “If I don’t do it now, I’m never going to do it.” “It wasn’t that I wanted to go—I had to go.” “My job lost its meaning when God made His calling clear.” “There’s no way I could stay and ignore what God was telling me.” 🌍 Missions & Burden “There are millions of people who have never heard the gospel.” “It’s not worth all the money in the world if someone dies without Christ because I didn’t go.” “People all around the world are waiting to hear—and someone has to go.” “God already knows what’s under the ocean—but there are people who’ve never heard His name.” ⚔️ Surrender & Obedience “I asked God to help me, because I couldn’t make that decision on my own.” “When God calls, He will help you say yes.” “Loving God means responding when He calls.” “The past is the past—but God can use all of it.” 🧭 Upbringing & Preparation “Everything I went through was preparation for where I am now.” “Growing up, I saw the struggles—and now I know they’re coming, but I’m ready.” “God gives us tools early in life that we don’t fully understand until later.” “My childhood was an adventure—and it prepared me for this one.” ⚡ Adventure & Perspective “I chased adventure—but the greatest adventure was God’s calling.” “All the things I chased never compared to what I found in obedience.” “What once felt exciting eventually felt empty without purpose.” #ChristianTestimony #Missionary #FaithJourney #GodsCalling #Missions #Purpose #Gospel #ChristianPodcast #Medellin #Colombia #Obedience #FollowGod #Testimony #Evangelism #FaithStory #Chestley Howell

    Mission Post | Bible Studies That Plant Churches with Pastor Steve Hall

    How do you plant churches and make disciples one person at a time? In this episode, Pastor Steve Hall shares decades of ministry insight on using one-on-one Bible studies to reach the lost, disciple believers, and plant healthy churches. This conversation is especially helpful for missionaries, church planters, pastors, and ministry leaders who want to stay focused on what matters most: seeing people saved and trained to teach others. You’ll learn why the first part of the Great Commission is often neglected, how personal Bible studies lead to genuine conversions, and how to find people to teach anywhere you go—from church visitors to door knocking, everyday encounters, and follow-up relationships. This episode challenges the danger of becoming too busy with administration and reminds us that abiding in Christ and teaching the Bible is the foundation of fruitful ministry. Topics Covered: • Teaching the Bible to lost people • One-on-one discipleship and evangelism • Church planting through Bible studies • Witnessing vs. teaching • Keeping soul-winning the priority in missions • Training believers to make disciples If you’re preparing for the mission field—or already serving—this conversation will refocus your heart and sharpen your ministry.

Key Quotes from the Episode “The Great Commission has two ‘teachings—and most churches miss the first one.” “Teaching the lost is just as biblical as discipling believers.” “If you’re too busy to teach lost people, your church will be too.” “Never get so full of administration that you forget why you’re a missionary.” “Churches grow best one person at a time.” “Witnessing is the gateway to teaching.” “Faith comes by hearing—and hearing happens best one on one.” “You don’t need ten people for a Bible study—just one willing heart.” “If someone will give you six Bible studies, God usually saves them.” “One of the greatest joys in life is having a spiritual baby.” “Heaven rejoices over one sinner who repents.” “Don’t live vicariously through other people seeing souls saved.” “If nobody’s being saved, ministry becomes miserable.” “You’ll never have a Bible study if you never ask for one.” “The Bible is the most interesting book in the world—let it speak.” “False converts disappear, but disciples stay.” “Why are you a missionary? So people might be saved.” “Train people to do the work—you can’t add staff on the mission field.” “Abiding in Christ always leads to fruit.” “Don’t forget the best thing: teaching the Bible and seeing people saved.”
