In this episode we’re talking about something that might sound like it’s only for pastors or missionaries, but actually applies to all of us: mission.

I’m joined by Eric Rafferty and Jon Hietbrink, two of the authors of Reviving Mission: Awakening to the Everyday Movement of God, and we’re digging into what it means to live with purpose, not just someday, but right now—in your dorm, your classes, your friend group, your part-time job.

Whether you’re wrestling with faith, seeking more meaning, or just wondering if God is at work around you, this conversation will challenge and encourage you in a down-to-earth way.

In this podcast we discuss:

Why this book is so important for this moment in higher education
What has been lost in how we think about mission, and why it needs to be regained
The four-fold pattern of mission that is central in Scripture and unpacked in their book
How students can live on mission in the midst of their busy lives
Why students are qualified to be “on mission” even when they don’t feel they are
Some traps students should avoid as they try to live out their faith “on mission”
How to develop missional rhythms while in college that last beyond the college years
A first small step to joining what God’s doing on campus
