Learn Your Neighbor’s Names | Episode 66

What does it mean to live on mission at home, not just abroad?

In this episode, Pastors Micah and Shireen reflect on a recent trip to Serbia and what it revealed about the challenges and rewards of sharing the gospel in spiritually resistant places. From seeing old friends at Lifegate to serving in unreached areas, the trip stirred a fresh missional heart and reminded them that the gospel always bears fruit, even on hard ground.

They talk honestly about how easy it is for Christians in America to downplay their faith. We tend to flip the switch on for mission trips but turn it off when we get home. It’s a real look at what it means to live out your faith day to day, without feeling weird about being “too Christian,” and how standing out for the right reasons is actually part of the point.

As you listen to this episode, reflect on the following questions:

Am I sharing Jesus through both my words and relationships? What does it look like to live missionally in my neighborhood? Do I believe my life is not my own, and does my calendar reflect that?
