In this opening episode, hosts Bill and Christi introduce the heart behind The Journey Podcast and the burden that led them to create it.

Drawing from decades of missionary experience across Asia and the Arab world, they discuss why lifelong learning matters for Global Workers, how easy it is to drift into survival mode or ministry autopilot, and why formation—not just training—is essential for long-term fruitfulness.

Whether you’re prefield, in your first term, or decades into ministry, this episode invites you into a learning posture that helps you stay effective, reflective, and aligned with God’s mission over the long haul.
