This conversation with Doug Anderson of Masterworks and Garden of Hope explores calling, training, and submitting to the heart of God. Education matters—but only when it forms disciples who obey Jesus and can help others do the same. In this episode, we explore how training, academic depth, and real-world disciple-making come together to shape churches that can multiply under pressure.
