248: The Mission Begins: Sent Before They Were Ready?

Jul 24, 2025    Rohan Bell, Jeanie Schwarz

Jesus sends out the twelve with power to heal, cast out demons, and proclaim a radical message: The Kingdom of Heaven is here. In this episode, Rohan and Jeannie wrestle with what it means to be sent on mission before fully understanding the mission — and why that’s exactly the point.


👀 What you’ll discover in this episode...


✅ Why Jesus gave full authority to flawed people — even Judas

✅ What the earliest missionary journey teaches us about dependence

✅ The powerful promise behind “The Kingdom of Heaven has come near”

✅ How hospitality reflects the heart of God — or rejects it

✅ Why miracles are signs of the kingdom, not the goal of it
