In this week’s episode of Wordsmith, Pastor Clay Smith sits down with Meredith Stuart to explore Romans 15 and the heart of Paul’s mission. They dive into Paul’s personal reflections, his passion for preaching the gospel to the Gentiles, and the profound connection between our identity in Christ and living out God’s calling. Meredith shares her own journey as a missionary in China, the joys and challenges of cross-cultural ministry, and how God’s plans often redirect our ambitions for His greater purposes.
Together, Clay and Meredith discuss practical ways to live faithfully in the workplace, navigate life’s unexpected twists, and grow in a Christ-centered identity that fuels meaningful mission. Whether you’re exploring your calling or seeking encouragement in your daily walk, this episode offers insight, inspiration, and biblical wisdom for living fully in Christ.
