You’ll never really get back home again..
If you lived in another country for, say, a year or more, and you do get back to your ”home country”, you might run into the situation that your “home country” does not feel like “home” anymore. Maybe not at all. You changed, your “home country” might have changed as well, and that is a thing you need to be aware of, in order to deal with it. But, is that bad…. Or is it a blessing?!
Culture shock!
Today we talk about culture shock. What is it, how to deal with it, and what are things to look out for when moving to another country?

Why (practiced) theology does matter!
Why is it so important that you have your own knowledge of God and God's word in good order BEFORE you go to the mission field, and how do you keep that up to date while you are on the mission field and how could it be, that it seems that this is not a primary topic in some organizations, and how can we improve that? A very fascinating Podcast with Pastor Kent Staton! For more info on this podcast series, see: https://www.emmy.foundation/en/category/podcast-en/
Being a missionary and “money”…
How do you deal with money as a missionary? Not only on the income side, but also on the spending part. What are the pitfalls, and who is there to know? An exciting Podcast to say the least. Also, take a look at https://www.compass1.eu/ which is about Financial Discipleship and https://relationalfundraising.com/ contains an excellent course for missionaries on the theme of fundraising. Both highly recommended! For more info about this podcast series, please go to: https://www.emmy.foundation/en/category/podcast-en/
Holiday for a Missionary?
Vacation, leisure time, rest... how do you do that as a missionary or pastor? Why is it necessary, and how does it work? What are the pitfalls for you, but also for those around you? An intriguing podcast! For more info about this podcast, see: https://www.emmy.foundation/en/category/podcast-en/
Where does God want me to go?
In one of the Missionaries Podcast, we talked about if you are being called as a Christian to tell the gospel to others. The answer to that was very clear, so now the question remains... where does God want me to go as a missionary and what does God want me to do as a Christian to tell the gospel to others.
And that's a critical question and something that you have to figure out, with God, before you do anything in missions. (in whatever form that is) To answer that question, we made a special podcast for you. It's a long answer / podcast this time, but please listen to the very end... it's critical for God's glory, your future and it's worth it. Enjoy, God bless and if you have any questions, please let us know.

Are you being called? (into missions)
We often hear the question: are you being called by God to evangelize / to tell God's great news to others? In this first part of this podcast series about calling and going into missions, we share some bible verses about that question and some of the things we see around us when people ask that question / are being asked that question.

Pastor's Kids, AKA PK's / Missionary's kids aka MK's. Lets talk about this... it's needed.
A special Podcast with Joseph. He grew up as a Pastor's Kids, AKA a PK. What were the challenges for him and others as Pastor's Kids / Missionary's kids, what are things that need to be talked about, and what can we do (better) to help them? A topic that is not commonly talked about, but that definitely does need more of our attention.
