For today’s season finale of The Missional Leader, Rob gets the privilege of sitting down with his dad—Bob Hoskins, evangelist, missionary, and founder of OneHope—for an inspiring conversation reflecting on Bob’s life of courageous hope and relentless obedience to God’s call.

From preaching his first sermon at age seven to launching global outreaches in war zones and restricted nations, Bob shares the extraordinary journey chronicled in his new autobiography, Courageous Hope. Together, father and son reveal how humble prayer, unwavering faith, and a willingness to risk everything shaped a movement that has now reached over 2 billion young people with God’s Word.
