In this episode of Beyond the Cove, Pastor Luke sits down with Missions Pastor Jonathan Wilson for a powerful conversation about what it looks like to live as exiles both here at home and around the world.
They talk about how our missions team is engaging locally and internationally, and how God is using ordinary obedience to make an eternal impact. From serving our neighbors to partnering across nations, this episode highlights how we are not just called to gather, we are called to go.
The conversation also recaps Sunday’s message from 1 Peter 2:18–25 in our Exiles series. Pastor Heath reminded us that Christlike holiness in the face of unjust suffering glorifies God and flows from the gospel. Together, Luke and Jonathan unpack what it means to endure faithfully, trust the Father like Jesus did, and live for righteousness, not comfort.
You were not called to comfort. You were called to Christ. And Christ walked through suffering before glory.
Whether you are serving across the street or across the world, this episode will encourage you to follow the Shepherd and Overseer of your soul, even when it is hard.
