Everyone is a missionary. Yes...and no. Missions serves a purpose in God's kingdom and we think its specific role should be well understood and preserved. 

Stefan Paas is a Dutch theologian, missiologist, and church planter. He knows from experience what it means to labor in tough circumstances and brings a vast amount of experience, reflection, and good theology to the practice. We hope to have him on again soon as his insights are so important and we feel like we just touched the surface. 

The name of the podcast is called Rabbit Trails for crying out loud. We didn't have a clue where this was going. I'm not really sure I still do. Vintage Barrett and Garrick.

You all know how much Garrick and Barrett talk about the Camino de Santiago and in one of our earlier podcasts, we talked about the documentary entitled I'll Push you, the story of two friends walk along the Camino one in a wheelchair and the other pushing. Patrick Gray and Justin Skeesuck join us to talk about their journey, faith, life, and a few laughs as well. Check out all of their work at https://www.illpushyou.com/

We take some time to reflect and ponder the great guests we have had on lately. What are our takeaways and what struck us?

No, not that Randy Newman. Randy David Newman is a fellow with the CS Lewis Institute, and a fantastic mind and resource when it comes to evangelism and things we should be focusing on in secular western contexts. 

Maxwell Thomas is a pastor, missionary, Minnesotan, and all around great guy. Maxwell comes from a family of missionaries who gave it their all in Papau New Guinea and is heading out with his own family to the Middle East this week! He brings some really great insights into what it means to follow Jesus in a real way and shares his thoughts on being comfortable as a Christian in western society. Maxwell also hosts a podcast entitled Upon This Rock. Give it a listen here

Shawn and Deb live in Spain and have started an initiative to minister to the secular peoples of Western Europe. They have done a lot of serious, important thinking on what it means to be secular and have some really great thoughts to share. Thanks for stopping by!
