Religion EN ↓ 32 episodes

Navigating cross-cultural life and living on mission for Jesus as an emerging adult can be both exciting and scary. Listen to those who’ve gone before you as they share some things they’ve learned along the way; and hear stories of the way God has been faithful. This podcast is for the goer, the sender, the receiver, the returner, the TCK, and everyone in between. Together we’ll explore what it takes to be successful in the journey, remembering that at the end of the day God calls us to Himself, the rest is just geography.
