What would you do if you found faith in the most unlikely of places? Join us as we sit down with Derek Mack, who found his calling to serve in long-term ministry from the backseat of a police car. In an enlightening conversation, Mack shares his extraordinary journey that began with a life-changing encounter with Christianity and led to his involvement with YWAM, the world's largest missions organization, and the Circuit Riders, a collective dedicated to spreading the gospel in academic environments.

In this episode we explore:


• How Derek’s experiences with YWAM and Circuit Riders shape his unique perspective on faith, truth, and personal transformation.

• What Derek learned from a transformative two-year journey in New Zealand 

• How to better understand the impact of radical love in the Western world.

• Insights on the influential works of Francis Chan and Amy Carmichael and the importance of knowing and preaching the word of God, even in public spaces.

Finally, we tackle the bigger picture - how do societal influences, like social media, impact our worldviews and faith? We delve into the complex territory of cultural engagement and faith deconstruction and the challenges of preaching truth in a postmodern world.
