  • Take a Mission Trip Right Where You Are - Interview with Mike Henry

    Click here to send Ryan a text message!

    Episode #138 

    What if you could go on a “mission-trip” right where you are?  In today's episode, we're talking about how you can do exactly that.

    For many Christians, the “overseas” mission is the mark of a true radical follower of Jesus. By withstanding some discomfort for a short period of time we, have shown we are committed. Would most of us be willing to withstand challenging conversations in the workplace? Can we show our commitment there? Why is there a clear difference between these two contexts?  

    Join me as I visit with fellow author and podcaster Mike Henry. As the founder and CEO of Follower of One, Mike aims to grow the biblical understanding that ministry is everywhere. Follower of One is an online community that supports believers as they learn to walk-out “missions” within the context of daily work-life. 

    In this episode: 

    1:10 – Introducing Mike Henry
    2:31 – The Follower of One ministry 
    3:20 – Is work a ministry?
    4:45 – Mike Henry’s testimony into ministry and why it did not include a full-time ministry vocation. 
    10:03 – Defining “Faith at Work” and exposing misconceptions 
    11:06 – When does it actually “feel” like we are serving God? How do we know what ministry is? 
    13:03 – The Market Place mission trip. A way for any person to connect to their calling to influence their workplace for God’s purposes. 
    22:50 – The simplicity of workplace ministry and partner with the Holy Spirit 
    28:02 – The vision and opportunity that Follower of One offers us all.
