A week early and a world away, we hit record to share why Dave is actually in Germany while you’re listening—and what a true vision trip looks like when mission work moves from idea to action. We open up about how partnerships start, why trust matters more than speed, and how an established team serving Ukrainian refugees can guide our church toward meaningful, sustainable impact. Along the way, you’ll hear the practical side of alignment: listening before leading, matching strategy with the Great Commission, and deciding when to send teams versus when to strengthen from afar.
The conversation shifts gears into everyday life—our podcast queues, the tension between curiosity and discernment, and how easy it is to snack on stories while starving for truth. That sets the stage for our midweek devotion in Mark 4. We sit with the parable of the sower and those striking lines about the “secret of the kingdom of God,” drawing out a simple but demanding pattern: those who seek, ask, and stay close to Jesus receive understanding. It’s not about ticking the quiet-time box; it’s about a hungry heart that goes straight to the source.
By the end, you’ll see the thread tying everything together: mission strategy and spiritual growth both begin with humility, patient listening, and a desire for wisdom that changes us. Whether we’re meeting pastors navigating postmodern Germany or praying over future steps in Africa, we want our yes to be faithful, our help to be useful, and our hope to be rooted in the gospel that breaks through hard ground.
