We are back with the second half of our discussion with missionaries John & Raluca Tirla. In this episode we talk about what sustained zeal without burnout looks like, the truth about the effectiveness versus costs of short-term mission trips, and pursuing a purpose-driven life. We also get to hear some more testimonies of Afghan refugees coming to Christ.

Join us in this first half of our conversation with missionaries John and Raluca Tirla! We discuss how they each were called by God to enter the missions field, how they met, and how the Lord led them to have a special place in their hearts for the Afghani refugees.  We discuss what their day-to-day looks like, hear heartbreaking testimonies of pain and suffering, but also the love and peace that Jesus Christ brings, and discuss issues of trauma counseling and cultural differences as well.

In today's episode we sit down and chat with David Popovici on his and his family's ministry work in a majority Muslim country and what missions work looks like in that area of the world. David also shares his testimony with us of how the Lord radically transformed his life, as well as his heart and burden for the modern church. You don't want to miss it!

To hear more about David's life and ministry work, we recommend tuning into Ekklesia Life's interview from earlier this summer.

In today's conversation we discuss what we see as challenges that the modern church is facing in light of culture, the spirit of the age, and across generational gaps. We point out things that we've observed in our own churches as well as discuss ideas that Christian cultural commentators have also brought up.

We continue our conversation with Daniela Kovacs as she shares the story of how she met her husband, and how God took the both of them through a decade-long period of infertility in their marriage. We believe that Daniela's story of hope, faith, and perseverance will encourage us in our own similar or different stories of waiting, no matter what the outcome may be.

In this episode we answer a listener question on what the biggest differences between the Romanian Pentecostal and American evangelical church are. We cover what we enjoy about both church contexts, as well as dig into things that we believe both could improve on, and what a healthy Christ-centered church looks like in the end.
