The Boundless Podcast

Red Letter Challenge - Going

In this concluding episode of the Red Letter Challenge, Pastor Ryan focuses on Jesus’ call to GO—a core teaching of Christian discipleship and Gospel‑centered living. Jesus sends His followers into the world with purpose, compassion, and Spirit‑empowered confidence. “Going” isn’t limited to global missions; it’s the everyday calling to live out the words of Jesus, share His love, and reflect His grace in our homes, workplaces, and communities. This message explores what it means to live as a disciple of Jesus, carrying His mission into ordinary moments. Through Scripture, practical insights, and real‑life application, we unpack how every believer is called to participate in the Great Commission, embody the love of Christ, and bring the Good News into daily relationships. The mission of God is not reserved for pastors or missionaries—it belongs to every Christian. If you’re seeking encouragement, clarity, and a deeper understanding of what it means to follow Jesus, this episode will equip you to step boldly into the life He has prepared for you. Discover how the ascended and living Christ sends you, empowers you, and works through you. You are called. You are sent. You are part of God’s ongoing story. ----- If this episode encouraged you, take a moment right now to make an impact. First—rate the podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you’re listening.

This Is Only the Beginning

This message proclaims the Ascension of Jesus Christ not as the end of His earthly story but as the beginning of ours. Drawing from Luke 24 and Acts 1, it highlights how the risen and ascended Lord launches the Church into a Spirit‑empowered mission. The Ascension reveals Jesus reigning for His people, sending His followers as witnesses of His resurrection, forgiveness, and kingdom. Rather than stepping away, Christ steps into His heavenly throne to continue His work through His disciples. ----- f this episode encouraged you, take a moment right now to make an impact.
