The easiest thing that you can do as a Christian is to give and to pray. And if you're not doing those two things as a Christian, then what are you really doing?
Ever wondered how the Great Commission fits into your everyday life? In this episode, hosts Phil and Kevin team up with Pastor Shawn Casto to break it down for you. The conversation kicks off with a nod to the previous episode on discipleship, highlighting the essential teacher-student dynamic aimed at fostering growth in one's spiritual journey. The trio emphasizes that everyone is both influencing and being influenced, shaping their worldview in the process.
Pastor Shawn, a discipleship and mobilization pastor, dives into the church's mission to mobilize believers for global impact, urging us to see our faith as a launchpad rather than just a landing zone. They discuss the universal call for all believers to engage in the Great Commission, debunking the myth of 'mission-less Christianity'. Worship is framed as the ultimate goal, with missions existing because worship doesn't—an intriguing perspective that adds depth to the discussion.
Practical steps are shared, from prayer and giving to going and sending, all aimed at building momentum within local communities and beyond. The episode wraps up with a heartfelt call to action, encouraging listeners to take their first steps in mission work and experience the joy and freedom that come from participating in God's plan.
