Description
Inspiration and insights from front-line ministry, "To the Nations" is a podcast of Wheaton College, Illinois that features Wheaton College Graduate School alumni, primarily Billy Graham Scholars, around the world. They share stories of God's activity in their lives and where they serve. The title reflects the nature of Jesus, the Son and Word of God being sent to the nations (Gen. 26:4, John 1:9), and His followers also being sent to the nations. The podcast also hopes to be, in a small way, an extension of Dave Howard's 2001 book, From Wheaton to the Nations.
