Description

In this episode of The Go and Send Podcast, hosts Mike Tapia and Cody Hall sit down with longtime teammate and design engineer David Palmer. With over a decade of experience at SonSet Solutions, David shares his heart for missions, discipleship, and how God has uniquely used his background in engineering to further the gospel.

Now stepping into a new role in mobilization at SonSet Solutions, David unpacks what it means to mobilize others into the Great Commission. From his own calling through short-term trips and college ministry to mentoring youth and equipping churches, David offers practical wisdom for anyone wondering what their role is in God’s mission to the nations.

You’ll be challenged to consider how your life fits into the Great Commission—and encouraged that God can use your gifts, your story, and your obedience to reach the unreached.
