Listen "If you’ve got good news, you want to share it"
Episode Synopsis
MINI-SERIES: World — Mission Is for EveryoneMission doesn’t just belong to a few — it’s everyone’s call.Joel, Tim, and Jai continue the service team mini-series on World, unpacking why God’s plan has always been for His salvation to reach all nations and how that shapes the life of the church today.They trace the theology of mission through Matthew 28, Psalm 67, and Isaiah 49, showing how Israel was blessed to be a blessing, and how Jesus’ death and resurrection brings salvation that explodes out to the whole world. Mission isn’t an optional extra for “professionals” overseas — it’s the daily call of every believer. If you’ve got good news, you want to share it.They explore how Soul Revival approaches mission: intergenerational ministry that naturally creates missional opportunities, long-term partnerships with CMS and Indigenous leaders in North West NSW, and supporting global mission through financial and prayer support. They discuss how prayer unites us across cultures and continents, reminding us that God is the one who grows His kingdom and graciously includes us in His work.Along the way they reflect on evangelism as simply sharing what you love, the challenge of awkwardness when talking about faith, and how kindness, gentleness, and genuine relationships open doors to gospel witness.📌 Episode Timestamps 00:00 – Intro: Dua Lipa memes, Banksy, and the speed of culture 10:04 – The World Team: mission is for everyone 20:12 – Theology of World: God’s salvation for all nations 42:01 – Strategy of World: local, regional, and overseas mission 58:30 – Practice of World: prayer, partnerships, and living it outDiscussed:Dua Lipa t-shirt meme goes viralLife of Brian "You're all individuals"Shock Absorber episode with Michael Duckett
