What is it like to live in Asia and share the Gospel? The Rev. Matthew and Kali Wood (serving the Lord in Indonesia) and Mindy Thews (serving the Lord in Taiwan) join Andy and Sarah to talk about their work in the places where they serve, how they share the Gospel with those around them, what they’ve learned about the local culture, and what life is like in their communities. They also share what’s ahead as they prepare to return to their respective mission fields. Learn more about the Woods at lcms.org/wood. Learn more about Mindy Thews at lcms.org/thews.

As you grab your morning coffee (and pastry, let’s be honest), join hosts Andy Bates and Sarah Gulseth as they bring you stories of the intersection of Lutheran life and a secular world. Catch real-life stories of mercy work of the LCMS and partners, updates from missionaries across the ocean, and practical talk about how to live boldly Lutheran.
