The Mission of the Church with Trillia Newbell
In this episode, Hunter chats with Trillia Newbell on the mission of the church.

We pray this episode aids your understanding of what we have been called to as Christ followers, to go into the world by the power of the Spirit with the goal of making disciples by proclaiming the gospel for the glory of God and for the good of the world.
