Podcasts about Missio Dei

Most of us have heard the word "mission" and felt one of two things: quiet guilt that we're not doing enough of it, or a vague sense that it belongs to other people. The particularly bold. The ones who pack up and move overseas. Either way, mission tends to feel like something outside ordinary life rather than woven into it. Missio Dei simply means "the Mission of God." The idea at its center is this: the mission doesn't belong to us first. It belongs to God. It has been moving through history since before any of us arrived, before the church existed, before Pentecost, before Bethlehem. God is a sending God. He sent his Son. He sent his Spirit. And in his grace, he invites us into the story he has been telling since the beginning of everything. These five weeks are not designed to make you feel more obligated. They are designed to make you feel more found and you don't need a passport or particular personality, or a theology degree to be part of this. What you need is what you already have: a life that is somewhere, a neighborhood that is somewhere, relationships that are somewhere. The mission of God is not looking for specialists. It is looking for people willing to show up. The mission of God is already underway. Welcome to the journey.

The Calling to missions is not reserved for a select few—it flows from the very heart of God and is extended to every follower of Jesus. From Genesis to Revelation, God reveals Himself as a missionary God, pursuing humanity and inviting His Church to join in His redemptive plan (Missio Dei). In the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19–20), Jesus commands all believers to “go and make disciples of all nations,” making missions not optional but central to our identity and purpose as the Church. And this calling begins with God’s initiative, not human ambition. Throughout Scripture, God calls His people—Abraham to bless the nations, Moses to deliver His people, the prophets to speak truth, and ultimately Jesus as the perfect missionary. In the same way, believers are called to go—whether across the world or across the street—living as witnesses of Christ. While some are called to specific ministries like missions or church planting, every believer shares the same purpose: to make Jesus known through both word and action. And Lastly, the purpose of missions is to glorify God by reaching those who have not yet encountered the gospel. Missions bridge this gap through proclamation and demonstration, meeting both spiritual and physical needs. At the same time, missions transform the messenger, cultivating dependence on God and shifting hearts from self-centered living to kingdom-centered living. Despite modern challenges, the mission remains urgent: to proclaim God’s name, live in obedience, and pursue eternal impact for His glory.

Missio Dei, a Latin term meaning "the mission of God," shifts our perspective from viewing the church as having a mission to recognizing that God is on a mission. This mission encompasses everything God has done throughout history and continues to do in our lives today. It's about understanding that we are not alone in our struggles and that God is actively working in the world, inviting us to join Him.

A sermon for Ordinary Time from rector Jon Odom, reflecting on Matthew 9:35-38.

Matthew and Ted's conversation with Dr. Ed Stetzer explores the meaning and history of missio Dei (the idea that mission originates from God, not the church). He traces how missions thinking has shifted over the past century, from “the Church has missions” to “God's mission has the Church,” and highlights both the biblical strength and the theological risks of that shift. While affirming that God is actively at work in the world and invites His people to join Him, the discussion emphasizes that mission must remain grounded in Scripture, with the church playing a central role in proclaiming the gospel.The episode also addresses a growing tension in evangelical missions today: the pull between a broad, holistic view of mission and the need to prioritize evangelism and reaching unreached people groups. Stetzer warns that when everything is labeled “mission,” the urgency of gospel proclamation can fade. The conversation calls for a balanced approach-one that embraces both gospel demonstration and proclamation, while ensuring that the church does not lose focus on its core calling to make disciples among the nations. The Mission Matters Podcast is a place to talk about the importance of our Mission as Christians. The Mission Matters is a partnership of Missio Nexus and Sixteen:Fifteen, who have a shared passion to mobilize God's people to be a part of His mission.

In this message from Revelation, we're given a glimpse of the end of God's story. Spoiler alert: it's better than you can imagine. Tune in as we explore how God invites us to live with confidence and hope as characters in the greatest story of all time.

Missio Dei - Part 8The End of the Mission | Revelation 5:1-10, 21:1-5How does God complete His mission?1. In Jesus, He redeems a global people (5:9-10)2. In Jesus, He restores our purpose (5:10)3. In Jesus, He renews all creation (5:10, 21:1-5)

Is a happy ending a sure thing? Can a clear vision of the future help us live well today? In this final message in the Missio Dei series, pastor Jeremy Writebol takes us to the end of the story, Revelation, to show how God is making all things new and fulfilling his purposes forever. 

Acts 2 reminds us that Jesus didn't leave us without a purpose. Instead, He entrusted the Good News to Christians everywhere. This sermon explains how the Church continues Jesus' work by making disciples and sharing the Gospel through the Holy Spirit's power. 

Big Idea: The church is sent out to continue God's Mission.Main Passage: Acts 1:6-8 John: 20:21-22, Matthew 28:18-20, Acts 1:8

Missio Dei - Part 7Missional God, Missional Church | Various TextsBig Idea: The church is a sent people.  How does the church fulfill God's mission?1. We continue the ministry of Jesus (John 20:21)2. Preach the message of Jesus (Luke 24:44-49)3. Make disciples who obey Jesus (Matthew 28:18-20)

Jesus didn't leave us without a purpose. Instead, He entrusted the Good News to Christians everywhere. This sermon explains how the Church continues Jesus' work by making disciples and sharing the gospel through the Holy Spirit's power. 

Missio Dei - Part 6Big Idea: Jesus brings good news for alll people.Luke 4:4-30

In Luke 4, Jesus begins His public ministry by announcing that God's promised salvation has arrived and is available to everyone. This message explores how Jesus fulfills God's promise of salvation and expands our understanding of God's grace. 

Missio Dei - Part 6Good News for All People | Luke 4:14-30Big Idea: Human beings are often most hostile to the very truths that could heal them.How is Jesus good news for all people?1. He fulfills the promise of salvation.2. He reveals the extent of God's grace.3. He exposes our prideful tribalism.  

In our current moment, what will it take to break the patterns of polarization and tribalism that exist? How can we rise above the ideology of "grace for me, but vengeance on them?" In this message from Luke 4, Pastor Jeremy Writebol continues the story of the mission of God by showing how Jesus' heart is for all people. 

Tim's Book - Confessing Jesus' Mission is finally out! Find it here:http://amazon.com/Confessing-Jesus-Mission-Pastors-Prayer-ebook/dp/B0FZW7MSTVThis is a very special episode of LEAD Time.On launch day of Confessing Jesus' Mission, Tim Ahlman joins the podcast for a different kind of conversation—not to defend a book, but to ask a deeper question facing the church today:Have we lost a shared sense of why the church exists?In this episode, Joe Beran interviews Tim about the growing fragmentation within the LCMS, the false binary between confession and mission, and why fear has quietly replaced courage in many of our conversations. Together, they explore how tribalism has shaped church discourse, why the Missio Dei must once again drive our priorities, and how the church can move from playing defense to faithfully going on offense for the sake of the lost.The conversation also touches on pastoral formation, leadership development, and why strategic thinking does not undermine Lutheran identity—but can actually serve it when rooted in Christ, the Means of Grace, and love for neighbor.This episode is not a manifesto. It's an invitation:- To leaders who care deeply about the future of the church- To pastors and lay leaders willing to have honest, collegial conversations- To anyone longing for unity without compromise and mission without fearTim also shares who the book is for, who it's not for, and how it's meant to be read—not in isolation, but in community, as a catalyst for deeper conversation and renewed clarity around the mission God has already given His church.If you've felt the tension between faithfulness and fruitfulness, confession and mission, or tradition and innovation, this episode is for you.Support the showJoin the Lead Time Newsletter!

In this message, we turn to Isaiah 42 to see how God promises justice and hope through His chosen Servant, Jesus. We'll explore how Jesus fulfills Isaiah's ancient promise and why God's mission has always depended on Christ alone.

Join us as we wrap up our Missio Dei sermon series with a message from guest speaker, Tory Campbell

What does it mean to be part of God's plan? In Exodus 19, we see God redeem His people, invite them into a relationship with Him, and call them to live holy lives. This message reminds us that our lives should serve as examples that point others to God.

Every Nation Campus National Direction, Pastor Ernie Kruger, joins us to continue our Missio Dei sermon series.

Where do you fit into God's plan and mission? Is there a part for everyone to play? In this message from Exodus 19, pastor Jeremy Writebol helps us identify what marked the nation of Israel uniquely in God's mission, and how believers are marked in the same way today. 

What does God's blessing look like in real life? In Genesis 12, we see God's promise to bless all nations through Abram. Listen in as we explore how Jesus fulfills this promise and unpack what it means for us today.

We continue our Missio Dei sermon series.

How do we respond to God when he calls us to his mission? We might believe that we have to have a significant résumé or education to be useful to God's purposes. Or we might feel that we have no part in his mission to be worshipped as the only God among all the nations. However, the story of God's call on Abraham challenges us differently. Like Abraham we have to consider how we respond to God's call. This message from Genesis 12:1–3 helps us see God's supply to us in his mission.

In this message, we explore the story of Babel and what happens when human ambition takes center stage. Rather than abandoning His people, God interrupts their plans to redirect them toward His greater mission.

We continue our Missio Dei sermon series to start the year.

What does it mean to be made in God's image? God created humans with a purpose from the very beginning. Genesis 1 explores how God designed humanity to reflect His image and spread His glory. Tune in as we uncover how God's design shapes who we are and how we live today.
