Local vs. Foreign Missions Part 1: How Generations See It Differently

Mike Miller and Coby Duren Season 5 Episode 6

On this episode of the Miked Up Podcast, the guys dive into the unique challenges of being a multigenerational church. They unpack how different generations approach missions—local versus global priorities, how money should be spent, and what it means to carry the gospel from our neighborhoods to the nations.


The conversation also looks at how the focus of the church has shifted through the years, including the call to get out and do something and the role of small group discipleship. From RAs and GAs to church plants and the cooperative program, the question remains: have older generations lost sight of local missions, and do younger generations fully grasp the impact of foreign missions?


Join in as we explore how Jesus’ command to 11 disciples who changed the world still gives us a blueprint for the church today.
