Discovering Purpose: Purpose on Mission

About this episode

The episode discusses the true essence of being a missionary and discovering purpose through local engagement and discipleship.

Being a missionary isn't about traveling to distant countries or learning new languages. It's about making disciples who follow Jesus, are changed by Jesus, and are committed to His mission, right where you are. Purpose isn't something to hunt for but staying close to Jesus and taking your next step with Him. Through stories like Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch, IDES disaster relief, and Team Expansion, we see that God uses ordinary people who are simply willing and available. The key is looking for needs around you and taking one practical step to meet them, trusting the Holy Spirit to guide you along the way.
