Are We Overcomplicating Missions? + Do Missionaries Need Formal Training? + Are Parents Discouraging Missions?

Greg Gifford fills in for Todd to rethink some common assumptions about missions. Who should go, how should they prepare, and could Christians be making the whole thing more complicated than it needs to be?

Segment 1

• Are parents unintentionally talking their kids out of missions?

• Does serving overseas really require giving up your career?

• What if the traditional missionary model isn’t your only option?

Segment 2

• What does biblical counseling have to do with the Great Commission?

• Missionaries aren’t the only people overseas who need discipleship.

• Could a skill you already have meet a major need on the mission field?

Segment 3

• Can you meaningfully serve people across the world without moving there?

• What does “teaching them to observe” actually require after someone is converted?

• Your 9-to-5 may be more useful to missions than you realize.

Segment 4

• Do missionaries need formal training before they go?

• Think you’re called to missions? Your pastor may see something you don’t.

• Who takes care of missionaries when they’re the ones who need help?
