Beyond Borders: Why People Group Thinking Matters in Missions | feat. Duane Frasier

In this episode, we sit down with Duane Fraiser, Joshua Project's Director of People and Culture, to unpack why people group thinking is at the heart of finishing the Great Commission. We explore why mission strategy looks at ethnic groups rather than just political borders, what makes the frontier people groups so often overlooked, and how God is bringing many of these least-reached peoples right into our own communities through diaspora migration. Duane shares practical, hopeful ways to recognize and strategically engage the unreached neighbors God may be placing next door.

The Missing Piece in Modern Missions: People Group Adoption | feat. Rotimi Akenpelu

In this episode, we sit down with Rotimi Akenpelu, Director of People Group Adoption at Joshua Project, for a warm and powerful conversation about the role of the local church in finishing the Great Commission. Together, we unpack the Frontier People Group Adoption process, why it may be the most strategic missions step a church can take, and how prayer, partnership, and long-term commitment can change eternity for entire communities with little to no gospel access. Rotimi shares stories, vision, and practical insight into how churches across the world are uniquely positioned to help carry the gospel to Frontier People Groups. This episode is both an invitation and a challenge.

Mobilizing the Next Generation | Feat. Billy McMahan

What does it look like when God begins to redirect a life from one form of ministry into something unexpected? And what does the church need to do to make sure the next generation is ready to respond?  In the first episode of the Joshua Project Podcast, we sit down with Billy McMahan, a mobilizer with Africa Inland Mission. Billy shares his own story of his calling and how God led him, step by step, toward a focus on frontier missions and mobilization. From there, the conversation goes deep into the local church: why Billy believes Gen Z has remarkable potential for the future of missions, and why 1-on-1 discipleship and mentorship aren’t just good spiritual practices. They may be the most important thing the church is doing to prepare the next wave of missionaries.  If you’ve ever wondered whether you might be called to something bigger, or whether your church has a role to play in reaching the unreached, this episode is a great place to start.  To Learn More Visit Joshuaproject.net [http://Joshuaproject.net] Free Resources [https://go.joshuaproject.net/p/resources] Light the Nations Prayer Map [prayermap.joshuaproject.net] Subscribe to our Newsletter [https://mailchi.mp/joshuaproject/newsletter]
