Welcome to the Mission Stories Podcast! This episode dives into the number one lesson for having an impactful and joy-filled mission: making a conscious choice.
Shawn and Lauren explore why some missionaries have life-changing, joyful experiences while others don't, often coming down to consecration and decisive commitment.
Discover the profound difference between being 'hot or cold' versus 'lukewarm'—why indifference can be more detrimental than making the "wrong" choice, as discussed in Revelation 3:15-16 and 1 Kings 18:21. Learn how owning your mission builds a firm foundation on Jesus Christ, preventing you from being "tossed to and fro" by challenges, as described in Ephesians 4:14.
Hear powerful stories, including the Shawn's own MTC realization about the importance of opening your mouth and making a firm choice, and why even difficult paths can lead to humility and repentance. This episode emphasizes that your mission's success, joy, and conversion depend on choosing to serve with your whole heart and continually seeking that "better and best reason" for being there. Ultimately, it's about choosing to be chosen for an extraordinary, growth-filled journey!
