This week on the Missions Podcast, hosts Alex and Scott sit down with Emily Bennett, the general editor of the insightful book, Before You Go: Wisdom from Ten Women Who Served Internationally (2023). As someone who heeded the call to take the gospel to the nations, Emily shares a wealth of experience aimed at preparing those poised to step into the mission field. Our enlightening conversation journeys through the core themes of the book, delving into discerning one’s calling, embracing the sacrifice of leaving the familiar, and fostering a spirit of unity while serving on a team overseas. Whether you are about to embark on overseas missions or are a seasoned missionary, this conversation with Emily Bennett is a treasure trove of wisdom.
