Is everyone called to go on a mission trip? In this episode, we break down the true meaning of missions, the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19 ), and whether every Christian is required to travel to fulfill God’s calling. We also address misconceptions about missions work, the role of the local church, and why obedience looks different for each believer.

Some say, “Everyone should go on a mission trip.” But is that biblically accurate? We discuss the difference between personal calling and general commands, challenge traditional views, and bring clarity to an often misunderstood topic.

👉 Should YOU go on a mission trip? Listen and decide for yourself.
