With Pastor Bob on vacation, Amy Huber steps in to co-host this packed episode featuring special guest Dr. John White, a longtime world partner serving in Ukraine. We kick things off with summer heat, sunscreen, and a quick look at the NBA Finals before diving into some of the weekend’s major headlines—from rising tensions in the Middle East to a Supreme Court decision with implications for families and faith.
Dr. White shares powerful on-the-ground insight into the ongoing war in Ukraine, how the church is responding, and what it really looks like to be a missionary in a crisis zone. We also explore his message from 2 Timothy 2 on how grace fuels the work of ministry, plus some memorable stories from his early years on the field—including one language lesson that changed everything.
An audience-submitted question sparks a thoughtful discussion on God's role in end-times deception and what it means for those who reject the truth. Along the way, we talk just war theory, Orthodox Christianity, the Chinese church’s bold vision, and whether “multiplicational” deserves a spot in the dictionary (jury’s still out).
Don’t miss the book recs, the Theology Sprint, or the challenge to be part of a church that sends and serves.
