What is Edge of the Map?

The frontier of mission is shifting. The old maps don’t match the reality of where the gospel is advancing today. Cultures are changing, new voices are rising, and the church is being planted in places long considered unreachable. Yet the Commission hasn’t changed. The Edge of the Map podcast is about pressing into those uncharted spaces - pushing the boundaries, redrawing the frontier lines, and asking what it means to do whatever it takes to carry the good news further. This is the Edge of the Map podcast, a ministry of GO International.

The Church in a War Zone (feat. Stephanie Quick)

The modern Church often talks about faithfulness in theory. Stephanie Quick lives it in practice. Speaking from northern Israel near the borders of Lebanon and Syria, she shares how a series of unexpected acts of obedience led her to a region she never planned to call home.The conversation explores life during conflict, what it means to minister in a place shaped by uncertainty, and how proximity to war changes one's perspective on worship, calling, and dependence on God. Stephanie reflects on the grace that accompanies obedience and the surprising peace that can come when God places someone exactly where He intends them to be.The discussion then turns toward the deeper challenges facing the Church. From polarization surrounding Israel and the Middle East to the temptations of tribalism within Christian communities, Stephanie argues that the cross remains the great equalizer. In an age dominated by outrage, platforms, and competing narratives, believers are called to keep a tender heart, stay rooted in Scripture, and bear faithful witness to Jesus.<h2>Key Takeaways</h2><ul><li>Obedience often leads where comfort never would.</li><li>Living near conflict exposes what we truly trust.</li><li>The cross dismantles tribalism and calls believers to love even those they consider enemies.</li><li>Ministry is strongest when it functions more like a table than a platform.</li><li>Scripture must remain the Church's primary source of formation in a distracted age.</li><li>The Church must resist offense and cultivate spiritual resilience.</li><li>Faithfulness requires both conviction and humility.</li></ul><hr /><h2>Chapter Markers</h2>00:00 Introduction and Stephanie's journey to Israel03:00 Living near the borders of Lebanon and Syria05:15 Worship, discipleship, and faith during conflict11:45 The story behind Emmaus Table14:30 Theology, Israel, and ministry in the Middle East19:45 Why the cross confronts tribalism24:30 Loving enemies in polarized times27:00 A message to the Western Church31:15 Keeping a tender heart in the last daysWant to learn how GO International is planting the Church where it isn’t - and what that could look like for you?Visit<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.gointernational.org?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_blank"> GO International</a> to give, go, or grow the movement.To explore more of Stephanie's teaching, films, podcasts, and biblical resources, visit<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.theemmaustable.world/?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_blank"> The Emmaus Table</a>.

The Village No One Visits (feat. Larry Montgomery)

Places most people will never see.In this episode, we talk with Larry Montgomery about what it actually looks like to go there. Together we unpack the logistics, partnerships, risks, and spiritual realities behind ministry in hard-to-reach places.But this conversation goes deeper than stories of travel and hardship.

From Revival to Mission (feat. Zach Meerkreebs)

Revival has never been the finish line.Throughout history, moments of spiritual awakening have always pushed the Church outward - toward evangelism, justice, and the nations.Yet today many believers feel uncertain about mission.
