Neglecting the Unreached?

Our podcast hosts wrestle with the importance of both reaching the unreached and discipling existing Christian movements.

Are Scott and Alex underemphasizing the importance of pioneer ministry to the unreached? What heresies are spreading in the Middle East?

We explore these questions and more, diving into the nuances of what it truly means to reach every nation, tribe, and people group with a fully mature body of believers, and the critical need for maintaining doctrinal integrity in mission fields. Tune in for an enlightening discussion on navigating the challenges of global missions with faithfulness and insight. See full show notes….
