Hello and welcome to The River Foundation Podcast! Today, Dan speaks with Jason Tucker and Pastor Seth Dinney of Steubenville Baptist Church in beautiful Monticello, Kentucky. Both are lifelong Kentuckians who have been able to extend their passion for Christ by providing an international perspective. Pastor Seth shares the story of how a humbling mission trip to China during the outbreak of 2020's global pandemic led him to finding his calling working with Jason Tucker to make Monticello a launchpad for global missions, showing that the winding paths of faith always lead to where the need is.
