Together, they unpack why watchfulness is essential for every believer, practical ways to cultivate it through daily time with God, confession, accountability, and repentance, and how a life of watchfulness prepares us for the return of Jesus Christ.

Living Life On Mission

In this Season 1 final episode of Beyond the Sermon, we explore what it truly means to live a Life on Mission—both right where you are and around the world. Inspired by our current sermon series, we unpack the difference between everyday missional living and the specific call to cross-cultural missions. Greg and Dan dive into real-life, practical ways people are using their unique gifts to live missionally—whether through business as mission, mentoring, or serving in local communities. They also talk honestly about the cost of going and sending, and remind us that while not everyone is called to be a missionary, every believer is called to live life on mission—right where they are.
