In this episode of the Be The Church Podcast, Luke Bilberry is joined by Joel Wayne and Pastor Steve Harrington for a profound look at what God is doing on the international stage. Moving beyond mere logistics and “success metrics,” the team explores how Be The Church is engaging the global mission field by prioritizing the one thing Jesus modeled most: intentional relationship.
Together, they discuss Steve’s story as a missionary in the UK, the “reverse culture shock” of returning to the United States, and how the global church’s theology of suffering challenges our Western pursuit of comfort. From the mission fields of Europe and Africa to West Michigan, this conversation reveals that the most powerful tool for advancing the kingdom isn’t a strategy—it’s a life willing to be known by others and shaped by God.
Whether you feel called to the other side of the world or just the other side of the street, this episode will challenge you to stop seeing people as projects and start seeing relationship as the primary vehicle for God’s transformative work.
