In this episode, Daron and Eric discuss the concept of the “great omission” in the church and how Christians can reconnect with the true purpose of the Great Commission. They explore the idea of making the gospel good news again by focusing on the story of God and His faithfulness, rather than making it all about ourselves. They also share practical steps for building influential relationships with non-believers and serving the community. Don’t miss this insightful conversation on living out the Great Commission in a meaningful way.
