Episode 138 - The Most Strategic Christian Harvest Field You've Never Heard of, Todd Funk

This chat was recorded at the Truth Matters Conference - and it wasn’t even supposed to happen! Todd Funk stepped in at the last minute to fill in for astrophysicist Dr. Luke Barnes, and with no prep and no plan, we hit record and went with the flow. What came out was one of the most genuine and inspiring conversations as Todd shared his passion with us.

Todd talks about how the 4–14 window is the most strategic - and often overlooked - harvest field in the Christian world. From his work with Launch Pad (Bible in Schools) to Children’s Bible Ministries at Camp Raglan, Todd has a FIRE in his belly for the kids of New Zealand, and I’m so thankful we have him! We also touch on his apologetics work and tackle the question, “Why does truth matter?”.
