EVERYONE GETS TO PLAY
In this 5-part series on the podcast, we’re unpacking the idea that in God’s kingdom, everyone has a part to play. We’re so encouraged to see that in the church, it's often the most unlikely people, who as they are being faithfully obedient, are bringing so much fruit to the kingdom. In this collection of conversations, we talk about how women, Afghans, and youth, among others, are playing pivotal roles in the growth of the Persian-speaking church.
Ordinary people are impacting the church in extraordinary ways every day. We’re honored to share their stories with you.
