The 20-Year-Old Who Moved To the Middle East and Never Came Back | Micah Studer | EP 018

Micah Studer joined "How Change Happens" to discuss his two-decade journey as a missionary in some of the most challenging regions of the world. Micah opens up about the "product of his environment" that led him to leave the Northwest at 20, the unexpected turn toward refugee ministry during the Arab Spring, and the humbling moments that reshaped his entire outlook on faith. This episode is a masterclass in "lifestyle missions," where honesty, ethics, and meeting practical needs serve as the loudest testimonies of all.In This Episode:▫️The Power of Discipleship: How a small church youth group produced 10 long-term missionaries by simply making the Great Commission a normal part of their vernacular.▫️Witnessing Through Conduct: Why research shows that observing a believer's life is often a more powerful catalyst for conversion than seeing signs or wonders.▫️The Shift in Philosophy: Moving from a "power of God, let's go" mindset to a discerning heart that looks for where God has already softened a "hard heart".▫️Seeing and Meeting Needs: The radical simplicity of Micah's life motto: identifying a local need—whether it's a washing machine for a widow or starting an anti-trafficking ministry—and simply saying "yes".📚 Sign up for a 60-day Free Trial with LOGOS: www.logos.com/thesend🌐 Sign Up for The Send Conference 2026: www.thesend.org/conference⛪️ Pastors & Church Leaders - Sign Up for The Activated Church: www.thesend.org/pastors🔥Follow Micah Studer on Instagram: www.instagram.com/micahstroodle/📲 Follow The Send on Instagram: www.instagram.com/thesend🔗 Stay updated: www.thesend.orgSyncID - MB01ZBIKG8M9LUM
