In this episode Adam takes off the gloves and throws down some real talk. It's not everyday that you have deep conversations about things that matter, but this is one of those times. We all go through trials, we all doubt and experience cynicism and hopelessness at some point, and we all are seeking the Good Life. That's one thing this show is built on. We are trying to learn how to live a good life. But too often we pretend to have it all together.

If you don't have it all together, this episode is for you. If you do have it all together, pat yourself on the back and keep moving. We all struggle, but the meaning is in the striving, not the perfection. If life has gotten you down and you feel like you're alone in that struggle, listen to this conversation with Adam. May God use it to lift you up.

For the past 12 years Shannon Hurley has been living as a missionary in Uganda with his family. He founded SOS - Sufficiency of Scriptures - Ministries in 2002 as a way to support mission work in a more tangible way. Four years after beginning SOS, Shannon, his wife, and six children all transplanted to Uganda to make it their new home.

Sufficiency of Scripture Ministries is a faith-based organization that exists solely for impacting the people of Uganda with the gospel. Its strategy for impact is sound Biblical teaching in God's Word, prayer, and the sacrificial demonstration of Christ's love.

In this interview, Shannon talks through what it means to live in the Kingdom and on mission for the King. He discusses some of the cultural differences between Uganda and America, and how giving his life towards mission work has changed and impacted him. You will get to here his unique background and how God brought him to his current role, as well as a helpful discussion on what "faith" really means.
