Culture, Not Committee: Doing Missions That Outlast the Going | E58
In this final episode of their four-part series on how every believer can invest in the global church, Jared and Leanne tackle a question that matters more than most churches realize: are we doing missions in a way that actually lasts? They walk through the diagnostic questions 21C has learned to ask over years of cross-cultural ministry — did we bring something that was actually needed, or something we wanted to give? What happens the week after we leave? Is any of this sustainable without us?
From there, they talk about what long-term missions calling actually looks like in Scripture (less mystical than we've made it, more communal than we expect), and they close with a challenge that might reframe how your church thinks about the Great Commission: the goal isn't to build a church where everyone becomes a missionary. It's to build a church where everyone understands that they belong to a missionary God.
