About this episode
This episode challenges listeners to actively participate in Christ's mission by seeing people through Jesus' perspective.
John Swadley | Matthew 9:35-38 This powerful message from Matthew 9:35-38 challenges us to move beyond passive belief into active participation in Christ's mission. We're invited to see people not as the world sees them—by their appearance, success, or social standing—but as Jesus sees them: souls in need of a Shepherd. This message calls us from the safety of observation into the transformative experience of joining Christ's rescue mission for a world that desperately needs Him.
