In this week's episode of The Missions Podcast, Alex sits down with Stephen Atkinson and Gregg Kite from Christian Witness to Israel (CWI) as they discuss the cultural, theological, and political misunderstandings that are present in the American church today as it relates to evangelizing the nation of Israel who are in our own neighborhoods.

Does your church worship bring people together or divide them? This week on The Missions Podcast, Alex and Scott talk with author and pastor Zac Hicks. In an age where worship through music is so critical and critiqued by Christians and non-Christians alike, what should our worship services look like? How do church leaders balance the need to sing hymns and more theologically deep songs with the pressures of contemporary music? And finally, what does this mean for when we are picking music for churches in a cross-cultural context? Zac Hicks pastors and helped plant Church of the Cross in Vestavia, Alabama. He has been a worship pastor in both big and small churches in his career. He wrote the books: Before We Gather: Devotions for Worship Leaders and Teams and The Worship Pastor: A Call to Ministry for Worship Leaders and Teams.
