Has global missions strayed from a reformed foundation? In this episode of The Missions Show, Alex and Scott talk with Pastor Jerry Slate Jr. to discuss the theological foundations and practical realities of faithful reformed missionary work. The conversation centers on the question of what sustains missionaries through hardship, rejection, and long seasons of discouragement. Jerry, Alex, and Scott emphasize the central role of the local church in sending, vetting, and sustaining missionaries, warning against outsourcing this responsibility entirely to parachurch organizations. The episode highlights the need to tether missiology firmly to historic Christian theology, confessional faith, and biblical ecclesiology.

John Burrough, CEO of Partners International, is a former mission trip leader and played in the NFL—including playing in a Super Bowl. Listen as he shares how taking a mission trip completely changed his outlook and how that experience could impact and change your perspective in every area of life. Partners International began in the early 1940s with a missionary to China, Duncan Roberts, and from there continued to support and grow local leaders advancing the gospel in China. Later, the ministry's work expanded into Latin America, Africa, and Southeast Asia. The focus today is on reaching the unreached parts of the world for Christ. John will share how Partners International invests in local ministries and church networks advancing the gospel in the 10/40 window, and how they come alongside locals to help them go further and faster in achieving the mission God has given them. "All missions begins with prayer," John says, and shares how the Lord is mobilizing prayer for the unreached in restricted nations and hostile areas. Listen for the amazing story of a former Boko Haram member in West Africa who came to Christ while spying on a Christian leadership training session. The former terrorist is now advancing the gospel among the people he used to work with.

Jesus left us the church with a task: Proclaim me throughout the whole world. To every nation. My argument is that churches must be the primary means to accomplish this task and the end-goal of this task.

Space exploration relies heavily on the interest of the public — the voters, and taxpayers, who are ultimately footing the bill. But that support and excitement can be fickle. When space missions go well, and deliver new insights, the payoff is cheering crowds and increased support. But when they don't, the result can be reduced funding, canceled missions — and even deaths.That means, with each mission, the pressure is on to push boundaries, break new ground, and get everything right. Even a small mistake or malfunction could potentially lead to absolute disaster.On this episode, we look back at three historic NASA missions and how they shaped the course of space exploration. From the awe-inspiring triumph of the first unmanned spacecraft landing on Mars in 1976, to a devastating national tragedy in 1986, to the long-game Pluto mission launched in 2006. It was the mission that was supposed to reignite the public's interest in the work of NASA — the Space Shuttle Challenger, an orbiter that, in January 1986, would carry six astronauts and one civilian, a teacher named Christa McAuliffe, into space. But on the day of lift-off, tragedy struck — the Challenger exploded 73 seconds after launch, killing all seven crew members. We talk with author Adam Higginbotham about what led up to the mission, what went wrong, and the lasting impact it had on both NASA and the public's perception of space exploration. He's the author of “Challenger: A True Story of Heroism and Disaster on the Edge of Space.” In 2006, NASA launched New Horizons — an interplanetary space probe slated to become the first spacecraft to perform a flyby of Pluto, a journey of roughly 10 years. Pulse reporter Alan Yu tells the story of the mission's difficult beginnings, what we learned, and the dramatic moment that almost derailed everything.

If a corporate partner had to tell a story about working with your nonprofit, what would they say? What companies want from nonprofit partnerships has FUNDAMENTALLY changed. That's why I'm excited for you to meet a great friend of mine, Matthew Sutton, Director of Corporate Partnerships at United Way of Greater Atlanta, to talk about how corporate partnerships are evolving and what nonprofit leaders need to understand right now. Matthew shares why companies are going deeper with fewer partners, why a multi-layer approach matters, and how nonprofits can become collaborators in a shared narrative.We're digging into real-world examples too, including a 24-month relationship-building process, and the growing role of social enterprise as nonprofits look for more predictable revenue.Resources & LinksConnect with Matthew on LinkedIn or send him an email at matthewsutton2018@gmail.com. Check out Matthew's book recommendations, including my book, The Monthly Giving Mastermind, and Beyond Checks & Halos by Cynthia Eads Currence.

On today's podcast:1) President Trump expressed confidence that the European Union would continue to invest in the US even if he imposed new tariffs related to his quest to take control of Greenland, a proposal that has angered leaders on the continent. The president’s rare appearance in the White House briefing room came ahead of his departure Tuesday night from Washington for the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where he will confront European leaders who are furious over his bid to take over the territory of a fellow NATO ally, Denmark. Earlier Tuesday, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said that Trump’s threats were a “mistake” that would violate the deal he forged last year with the bloc. Officials in Europe have begun drafting plans to retaliate, which could set off a tit-for-tat that may scuttle the accord.2) Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent cautioned European nations against ramping up their military presence on Greenland and assailed France over calls to conduct a NATO exercise as European leaders brace for President Trump’s arrival at Davos. Bessent questioned the message European allies were sending following the recent decision by Denmark and seven other NATO countries to deploy a handful of officers to the island, which Trump has said he wants to make a part of the US.3) Months after President Trump attempted to fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook over unproven mortgage fraud allegations, the case will get a hearing before the Supreme Court. The justices are scheduled to consider whether Trump can oust Cook while the legal fight over the allegations proceeds. The case is one element in an effort by Trump to exert more control over the Fed and pressure officials to significantly cut interest rates. Trump has repeatedly attacked Fed Chair Jerome Powell, who has resisted the president’s demands to resign.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What if the smallest monthly gift unlocks the biggest lifetime value? We're digging into our second Monthly Giving Prediction for 2026: lower entry points will become the norm in monthly giving - and they'll outperform the high-ask mindset many of us grew up with. Donors aren't less generous; they're less willing to overcommit. That's a signal, not a setback, and it's time to design programs around the easiest yes.We break down recent data trends from major giving moments showing growth in recurring signups alongside smaller average amounts, and explain why that's good news when you care about retention and lifetime value.Drawing on lessons from the subscription economy, we look at how streaming and SaaS brands prioritize momentum over pressure, starting with doable plans and earning trust over time. The same playbook works for nonprofits: invite people in with a low, human entry point, then nurture them with clear impact stories, flexible options, and upgrade moments that feel earned.This conversation is a practical roadmap for nonprofit leaders, fundraisers, and digital teams who want sustainable revenue, wider reach, and a supporter community that stays. Subscribe for more predictions, share with your team, and leave a quick review to help other nonprofits find the show.Letter Labs is the proud presenter of Missions to Movements.

ASK A QUESTION – TELL A STORY – CONNECT WITH US This week on the Beyond Sunday podcast, Josh Hensley, Michael Shearon, April Oatts, and Hannah Buttram gather around the table for a wide-ranging conversation that's thoughtful, funny, and deeply rooted in everyday faith. A listener-submitted question sparks an honest discussion many people quietly wrestle with at the start of a new year: Where do you even begin when it comes to reading the Bible? The conversation explores different starting points, personal rhythms, and why Scripture is meant to shape us—not overwhelm us. The episode also takes a turn toward missions with a fun game that highlights upcoming trips and reminds us that God is at work everywhere—from small towns to global cities. Along the way, the team reflects on how faith shows up in different cultures, why presence matters more than pressure, and how mission isn't just about going far, but faithfully loving right where you are. It's an encouraging listen that blends wisdom, laughter, and a fresh vision for how God invites His people to join what He's already doing.

In this week's episode, Alex and Scott welcome pastor Aaron Menikoff (Atlanta, USA) and pastor Harshit Singh (Lucknow, India) to discuss how evangelism and missions function through the local church, particularly in the Indian context. Drawing from their book Prioritizing Missions in the Church, Menikoff and Singh argue that missions should not be treated as a side program but as an outflow of ordinary, faithful church life. They emphasize that preaching, prayer, discipleship, and the ordinances—when practiced consistently—form the foundation through which God raises up and sends missionaries to the nations. The conversation highlights how this church-centered approach applies across cultures, including settings with limited resources and growing opposition to Christianity. Key Topics Missions as the beating heart of the local church, not a side program The role of ordinary means of grace (preaching, prayer, ordinances) in global missions A biblical definition of missions as crossing cultural, linguistic, and geographic barriers Practical ways churches can embed missions into regular church life Discipleship and long-term theological training for future missionaries Do you love The Missions Podcast?
