The Story Behind the Show

About

Helping goers think and thinkers go since 2017—on podcast, cable, and local TV.

Why We Exist

Hard questions about theology, missions, and practice.

The Missions Show exists to answer hard questions about theology, missions, and practice—to help goers think and thinkers go.

We are conservative, evangelical, and gospel-centered. We think missions should be about the glory of God, the salvation of his people, and the establishing of Christ’s church to be culture-making salt and light in every culture.

Every Monday, Scott Dunford and Alex Kocman dive into questions of contextualization, the local church, strategy, the implications of biblical theology, and best practices for senders and goers alike.
