What are some practical ways that your family can start to explore living on mission?  Listen in as we give some thoughts on where to start.

Part of living missionally as a family is exploring other cultures.  And this exploration is not for intellectual pursuit or simple curiosity, but with the intention of friendship, understanding, and being a light in this world.  Join us as we talk about inviting open and honest conversations with our friends from all around the world.

Living on mission doesn't always mean serving outside of our time zone, but it almost always means serving, at least a little bit, out of our comfort zones.  How do we embrace this in order to lead our family toward missional living?   Give this episode a listen for some ideas.
