International Commission Podcast

In this episode of the International Commission podcast, Bucky Elliott and Grace Swanson begin with a deep dive into character development, as Grace shares her recent journey of learning to view others through "Jesus goggles", choosing to love even when it’s difficult and surrendering emotional frustrations to God. Bucky expands on this by distinguishing between "peacekeeping" and "peacemaking." How do we move beyond the passive avoidance of conflict to pursue biblical Shalom—an active and often costly commitment to restoration and wholeness? Why does reconciliation sometimes come at the cost of hurt?   The hosts round out the episode with a Top 5 Things ranking of their favorite travel essentials. Whether you are a seasoned missionary or preparing for your first trip, this episode provides a profound reminder that we are all called to the ministry of reconciliation, starting with the relationships right in front of us.

In this episode of the International Commission podcast, hosts Bucky Elliott and Grace Swanson offer practical encouragement for evangelical Christians considering their first missions trip. The duo addresses common anxieties about international travel to help you know what to expect when flying overseas and to lower the barriers to going into the field. The first segment explores the profound spiritual and personal benefits of building international friendships. Grace and Bucky share stories of "radical hospitality" encountered in places like Saudi Arabia and Kenya, highlighting how cross-cultural relationships can teach us about contentment, humility, and being "interruptible" like Jesus. They encourage listeners to see foreigners not as curiosities, but as neighbors to be loved and learned from. Then it's a "Take Some Advice" segment dedicated to demystifying the airport experience. From navigating security to handling the inevitable flight delays and diversions, the hosts provide a step-by-step guide to staying calm and intentional during travel. Whether you are a seasoned traveler or preparing for your first partnership, this episode serves as a reminder that while travel can be frustrating, it should never be a reason to stay home from the mission God has called you to. 🔔 Subscribe for more videos about Christian cross-cultural missions, inspiring stories, and practical evangelism tips! 🌐 Go on a mission trip: https://internationalcommission.org/go    Follow International Commission: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/internationalcommission Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/internationalcommission

International Commission's E&E Training presents "Tactics: How to Graciously Share your Christian Convictions" featuring Jonathan Noyse with Stand to Reason.

In this training you will learn: -What the two biblical roles are in leading someone to Christ. -The two most effective questions or "Tactics" you can use when you find yourself in the hot seat of a spiritual conversation. -How to respond to a difficult faith question you don't know the answer to.
