Episode 180: Front Porch Missionaries: What if you never had to leave your home to go on mission?


Listen Later

What if changing the world started with your dinner table?

Today, I sit down with Ennie Hickman, co-founder of the Delray Collective, an organization dedicated to equipping people to be ordinary missionary disciples in their everyday lives. We dive into the quiet power of everyday hospitality—those small, intentional acts that build trust, create belonging, and speak louder than any grand gesture ever could. We’ll chat about how simply opening your home, sharing a meal, or listening with your whole heart can spark something way bigger than you might expect.

It’s not about doing more—it’s about being present. We’ll explore how love and joy in the ordinary can be one of the most powerful ways to live out your faith and impact your community. So grab a cup of coffee and join us as we talk about the beauty of showing up, being real, and letting light shine through the simplest moments.
