In this episode, we discuss different models used when the church gathers to worship. In particular, we compare and contrast the traditional western model with the models used in pioneering fields around the world. Are we sacrificing church health with these models? Are these models pragmatically chosen because they reproduce? Find out in this episode.

In this episode with Nik Ripken and Pastor Wade Stevens of Longview Point Baptist Church in Hernando, MS we discuss the scarcity of men accepting the call to serve in overseas missions. We hope the men who listen to this episode are challenged and spurred on to go, to lead their families, and to develop their boys into godly men who are willing to go.
