“We are pilgrims in a strange land, we are so far from our homeland. With each passing day it seems so clear, this world will never want us here.” (Petra)
As American Christians, we have gotten very comfortable with the idea of living in a land which embraces the God of the Bible. In the 21st century, however, the tide has seemingly turned away from these biblical roots. While we have been building our campuses and setting down roots, the American church has forgotten we are strangers and aliens in this world. Perhaps it's time to remember our unity is not bound up in places but in our love for God and each other. Perhaps it's time pull up stakes, to wander far and wide, and share the message of hope found in Jesus Christ alone.
We are very pleased to introduce you to our friends, Zach and Leah Morrison.The topic for our discussion is the call to missions, and more specifcally, to long term foreign missions. Join us as we share how God moved each of our hearts toward sharing the gospel with people in other countries, the difference between long and short term missions, the need for partnerships with other Christians to facilitate missions, the struggles, and the desire to serve God in another country.

Do you struggle with prayer? Do the words get stuck on your tongue or perhaps you feel as if all you are doing is reciting a laundry list to God? Well, if you can relate to any of this then you are not alone. Most Christians struggle with prayer.
This week on Vagabond Christian, we are talking about the new Pew Poll results which reflect the changing religious landscape in America. We discuss five points of contention for the Millennial generation which the Church needs to find better ways of addressing, the need to live the Gospel, and the spiritual warfare we all face as Christians every day.

In our first (ever) Vagabond Christian podcast, Thom and I introduced ourselves and the reason we feel it is important to find a new way to interact as Christians in a post-Christian America. Thom and I talked about the tragedies which have occurred in Nepal, Chile, and Baltimore (after which we experienced a rather hair-raising experience which was recorded on the audio!). Some of the other topics covered included Bruce Jenner, the Oregon Bakers who have now been fined $135,000 for refusing to bake a cake for a lesbian wedding, and where the American church seems to be heading in the next 20 years. We also included a review of a new worship album by Christy Nockels and share what is coming next in our ministry.
