We will also discuss topics related to international missions, church planting, and the academic discipline of missiology.

    Community and Accountability on the Mission Field - EP181

    Missions poses a unique challenge to believers in that those who are sent both have a felt need for biblical community but also are being sent into a context where that kind of community sometimes does not exist. The question becomes, how do missionaries maintain spiritual health and biblical community while serving in a context with little to no access to healthy church community? On this episode of The Sent Life, Scott and Keelan talk about community and accountability on the mission field.   Thanks for tuning in to The Sent Life! We love hearing from our listeners.

    When the Missionary Isn't Seeing Results - EP180

Join us as we discuss how missionaries can endure through hardship and how churches can talk well about success metrics.   Thanks for tuning in to The Sent Life! We love hearing from our listeners.
