Going: Where God is at Work is a Podcast that sits at the intersection of mission theory and practice. We are building a community of Great Commission workers who long to see the Gospel spread to the ends of the earth; and, are also convinced that our engagement with God’s mission in the world demands cooperation with God’s transformational process in us. Our conversations examine the why, the how, and the heart of cross-cultural ministry with a hope of providing both information and inspiration to equip modern missionaries for the work to which they were called.
