Mission Focus SundayGuest Speaker Ben HoschLBIM Missionary to Taiwan

This week's episode is special because it marks the launch of a new Colossus show: Glue Guys. My guests this week are the hosts of the new show, Shane Battier, Alex Smith, and Ravi Gupta. Shane, Ravi, and Alex's stories are remarkable. Each has been at the very top of their profession. Shane as an NCAA and NBA champion. Alex as the first pick in the NFL draft, 3 time-pro bowler, and 16-year NFL veteran. Ravi as a leader at KKR, and then as a critical leader turning around & building Instacart, and now as a partner at Sequoia. But those parts of their stories pale in comparison to the stories you'll hear on Glue Guys.  Glue Guys is an unfolding manual for HOW to be a professional, a teammate, a leader, and even a friend and family member. In this episode of ILtB, we explore the general concept of glue guys—the people who are obsessed with helping the team win, whether they are the leader or newest member of the team. Please enjoy this conversation with Shane, Alex, and Ravi.

Have you ever been on a mission? Maybe you've served in the military and have been sent on missions full of intense complexity. Maybe your mission has looked more like having to find the correct brand of almond milk from the grocery store. Either way, mission demands a certain mindset. A laser focus on what you set out to accomplish, and a passionate loyalty to see it through to the end. This attitude of mission is exactly what we as believers in Jesus are called to carry every day. The intensity is high because the stakes couldn't be higher. People every day are dying, separated from the One who can bring them hope and life. As the Church we are called to carry the powerful message of the Gospel, to make disciples, and to lovingly care for each other as we push one another on to see the mission accomplished. I will be honest with you... It's not an easy thing... But you were made for it!  Join us this weekend to finish up our "Seeing Clearly" series with a deep look into the mission before us. - Pastor Ben Main Passage: Matthew 28:18-20 For Scripture, notes, upcoming events, & more: http://bible.com/events/49299627
