Know Your Place: How to Identify and Study Your Mission Field

Do you know your neighbor’s worldview? What is your personal mission field? Scott Dunford answers.

In today’s technology-saturated world, we can “be” anywhere—except where we actually are. Place matters. So how can we identify what our “mission field” is around us and know the way it thinks? In this episode, Scott and Alex dive into the book of Acts for answers about worldview, context, and missional living.
