The RAW Mission Podcast]]>In this special episode, we team up with RAW Mission, the podcast from Frontiers UK, sharing real-life stories from those carrying the Good News to the 1.9 billion Muslims worldwide who have little or no access to the gospel. RAW stands for Radical, Authentic and Worldwide — and this conversation lives up to all three.

We're joined by Matt, who spent years as a missionary in Pakistan, for an honest look at what it means to share the love of Jesus with Muslims both overseas and right where you live. Matt shares stories from his time in Pakistan and unpacks the fears and misconceptions many Christians carry about Islam and Muslim communities. Together we explore why building genuine friendships matters more than winning arguments, how to move past the awkwardness of that first conversation, and the small, practical steps anyone can take to reach the Muslims already in their neighbourhood — whether that's a colleague, a classmate, or the family next door.

Whether you feel called to the mission field or simply want to love the people around you well, this conversation offers encouragement, honesty, and a hopeful reminder that the gospel is good news for everyone.

Duane Frasier]]>In this episode, we sit down with Duane Fraiser, Joshua Project's Director of People and Culture, to unpack why people group thinking is at the heart of finishing the Great Commission. We explore why mission strategy looks at ethnic groups rather than just political borders, what makes the frontier people groups so often overlooked, and how God is bringing many of these least-reached peoples right into our own communities through diaspora migration. Duane shares practical, hopeful ways to recognize and strategically engage the unreached neighbors God may be placing next door.

Rotimi Akenpelu]]>In this episode, we sit down with Rotimi Akenpelu, Director of People Group Adoption at Joshua Project, for a warm and powerful conversation about the role of the local church in finishing the Great Commission.

Together, we unpack the Frontier People Group Adoption process, why it may be the most strategic missions step a church can take, and how prayer, partnership, and long-term commitment can change eternity for entire communities with little to no gospel access.

Rotimi shares stories, vision, and practical insight into how churches across the world are uniquely positioned to help carry the gospel to Frontier People Groups. This episode is both an invitation and a challenge.

Rotimi Akenpelufull<![CDATA[Mobilizing the Next Generation | Feat. Billy McMahan]]>What does it look like when God begins to redirect a life from one form of ministry into something unexpected? And what does the church need to do to make sure the next generation is ready to respond? 

In the first episode of the Joshua Project Podcast, we sit down with Billy McMahan, a mobilizer with Africa Inland Mission. Billy shares his own story of his calling and how God led him, step by step, toward a focus on frontier missions and mobilization. From there, the conversation goes deep into the local church: why Billy believes Gen Z has remarkable potential for the future of missions, and why 1-on-1 discipleship and mentorship aren’t just good spiritual practices. They may be the most important thing the church is doing to prepare the next wave of missionaries. 

If you’ve ever wondered whether you might be called to something bigger, or whether your church has a role to play in reaching the unreached, this episode is a great place to start.
