Culture shock is something that most people experience while being immersed long-term in a culture that's different than the one they call home. It is a disorienting type of stress that makes everyday tasks seem more difficult and exhausting. Today with the impact of COVID-19 across the globe, many people are experiencing this same type of shock without ever crossing an international border. In this episode we discuss some of the similarities of culture shock and the "COVID effect" and share a few thoughts on how to identify the symptoms and navigate through this unique challenge. Check out the following articles written on the same subject:  https://www.alifeoverseas.com/covid-and-culture-shock-feel-the-same-to-your-brain-and-heres-why/ and https://au.thegospelcoalition.org/article/culture-shock-and-covid-19-2/

What is "Member Care," and why is it so important in fulfilling the Great Commission? In this episode we give a brief overview of the ministry that we as a family have committed to pursuing. By investing in others, we believe that the Gospel will spread more effectively than if we tried to be ministry mavericks and do the work on our own. 

The Gospel-centered concept that revolutionized how our family viewed ministry. We are not only saved by grace, but we live by grace. This simple truth changes everything!
