episode Global Mission, Local Neglect cover

Description

We raise money for nations we’ve never seen, while ignoring neighbors we pass every day. We’re passionate about missions overseas—but quiet about the need next door. In this episode, Global Mission, Local Neglect, we confront a hard question the modern church often avoids: How did we become so committed to helping far away while overlooking what’s right in front of us? We talk about unused church kitchens, untouched communities, selective compassion, and how good intentions can turn into comfortable excuses. This isn’t about criticizing global missions—it’s about exposing imbalance. Because loving the world should never come at the cost of neglecting your own backyard. If faith doesn’t move us locally, was it ever meant to travel globally?
