Episode Synopsis

The bags are unpacked, but the journey isn’t over. For many students, the hardest part of an overseas trip isn’t the culture shock of going—it’s the "reverse culture shock" of coming home.
In this episode, we dive into the critical window of reentry and debriefing. We explore how to help student teams process their experiences, navigate the transition back to campus life, and integrate their global perspectives into their local college ministry. Whether you are a student leader or a staff member, learn how to turn an overseas experience into a foundation for long-term spiritual growth.
In this episode, we discuss:


The Art of the Debrief: Questions to help students process what they saw and felt.


Navigating Reentry: Handling the "disconnection" from friends and family who didn't go.


From Missions to Campus: Strategies for re-engaging with college ministry.


The Long-Term View: Ensuring the lessons learned overseas don't stay overseas.
