In this episode, we explore Romans 10:13-15, where Paul emphasizes the importance of spreading the gospel. He reminds us that "everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved," but how can they believe unless someone tells them?

Responding to the Call: Have you been sent? Each of us is called to play a part in God’s mission, whether through sharing our faith, supporting missionaries, or living out the gospel in our daily lives.
