Latitude
How do we live out the mission Christ has given us? Latitude is a conversation about what it means to serve, love, and meet needs in our community and beyond. Each episode unpacks the heart behind Christian missions—why we go, who we serve, and how we can make an impact. Through insightful discussions, biblical reflections, and real-life stories from those on the mission field, we bring awareness to pressing issues like healthcare, education, poverty, and more. Whether it's a local initiative or a global effort, our goal is to inform, inspire, and equip the Church to be the hands and feet of Jesus.
