“Micah Matheus is a teacher and missions leader in the Middle East, and deeply believes that God wants to change the world, and He will use anyone who responds to His call. Pastors Banning Liebscher and Becky Johnson have a convicting discussion with Micah about the need for pastors and church leaders to fight against the cultural elements that interfere with following Jesus wholeheartedly, and call people in our churches to missions.
