Missions 2026: The Theology of Proximity

Vineyard Church Maryville by Vineyard Church Maryville

Episode notes

Your current location and relationships are not accidental but are a divine assignment to practice the "incarnational" love of Jesus. Drawing on the example of early Christian martyrs and the concept of the oikos (relational ecosystem), we are challenged to stop looking for a "shinier" life elsewhere and instead transform our own neighborhoods and workplaces through intentional, embodied presence.
