EP 42 | Why Theology Matters in Missions

Join us on Episode 42 of the Pastor | Scholar Podcast as we see that missions are not sustained by passion alone, but by truth rightly understood. Scripture warns that zeal without knowledge leads astray, and what we believe about God will shape how we proclaim Him to the nations. If Christ and His Word are not central, even well meaning missions can mislead. 

Chad Vegas is the founding pastor of Sovereign Grace Church in Bakersfield, California, where he has served since planting the church in 2006 after completing his M.A. in Theology at Talbot School of Theology. He is the founding board chairman of Radius International and Radius Theological Institute, the founding vice chairman of Providence Classical Academy, and the author of By What Standard? as well as a co author of Missions By The Book. His passion is to know Christ and to make Him known.
