What makes someone pack up their life, move across the world, and step into the unknown for the sake of the gospel? How do missionaries keep going when the sacrifices pile up and the rewards feel far away? Missionaries—you know you’re unique, but do you know how? What sets us apart?

In this episode, we sit down with the author of The Mind of a Missionary, David Joannes—a longtime missionary himself––to talk about the highs, the lows, and everything in between. From smuggling Bibles into China and facing interrogation to the lessons learned from missionary heroes, David shares what fuels those who say yes to God’s call—even when it gets tough.
