Join Pastor Clay Smith and Elder Mitchell Taylor as they dive into Genesis 12:1-3 and see God's heart for the nations.

This pivotal passage details God's call to Abraham, which is explored here as a foundation for global missions and God's pursuit of His people. Mitchell shares his compelling personal journey from a "transactional faith" to full surrender to Christ, setting the stage for a deep dive into the themes of decree, disruption, and discovery.

Clay and Mitchell discuss why God often works through disruption—challenging us to move beyond the "shallow end of the pool" by sacrificing our time and comfort to join His greater work. The conversation draws on the incredible, youth-led legacy of missions at Johnson Ferry, highlighting that the hardest part is simply choosing to "get on the bus," knowing that God's disruptions are always for our ultimate good and His glory.

Dr. Clay Smith is the senior pastor of Johnson Ferry Baptist Church, located just north of Atlanta, GA. JF, as it is affectionately called, is a healthy, vibrant church committed to helping people find truth, belonging, and purpose in Jesus.
