461 Living on Mission: Sent Like Lambs Among Wolves (Lk 10:1-16)

from The Daily Grind · host John Spencer

Monday, March 10th: Jesus sent out 72 disciples with a mission: proclaim the Kingdom of God. In Luke 10:1-16, He tells them the harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Their mission requires total dependence on God—going out with nothing but faith. He warns them it won’t be easy, saying, “I am sending you out like lambs among wolves.” In this episode of The Daily Grind, John Spencer explores what it means to live like we are truly sent. Are we living as if there’s a war on, or are we too comfortable? We’ll unpack the cultural and historical background of this passage, Jesus’ call to pray for workers, and the reality of facing rejection. What does it look like to be focused, undistracted, and fully engaged in God's mission? Join us for a powerful challenge to step boldly into the calling Jesus has for each of us.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email me your questions, comments, and suggestions.
