Time is a vapor — here for a moment, then gone. And in the brevity of this life, there are still countless people who have never once heard the name of Jesus spoken as good news. That reality stirred something deep in Keneesha Saunders Liddie, and in this episode, she invites us to let it stir something in us too. The Great Commission was never meant to feel distant or reserved for the exceptionally called — it was given to all of us, right where we stand, with the people already in our lives.

Think about the faces you see every week — your neighbor who waves from the driveway, the coworker who eats lunch alone, the family member who has never quite found their way to faith. Each of them is someone Jesus died for, and each of them deserves the chance to hear why. Keneesha also reminds us that for those God has called to go further — into remote, dangerous, and unreached places — our prayers and our generosity are not optional extras. They are our participation in the mission. Somewhere out there, someone will be the last person to hear the gospel and make a choice. Until that day, we are the hands and feet of Jesus. May we live — and speak — like we believe it.

Today's Bible Verse

"And he told them, 'Go into all the world and preach the good news to everyone.'" — Mark 16:15

Ponder Today
The Great Commission starts close to home — personal evangelism with our neighbors, coworkers, and family members is just as vital to the kingdom as overseas missions.
Not everyone is called to go, but every believer is called to something — whether that's going, giving generously, or praying faithfully for those on the mission field.
People cannot choose Jesus if they have never heard about Him — we carry a responsibility to share the gospel so that every person has the opportunity to respond.
Boldness in evangelism doesn't mean being pushy — it means asking God for wisdom and the right timing, then trusting Him to open the doors.
We show the world we love them by caring about their eternal destiny — compassion for the lost is at the very heart of what it means to love God and love people.

Today's Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You for the gospel — the greatest good news the world has ever known. Thank You for those who have answered the call to preach it in remote and dangerous places; protect them, provide for them, and keep their feet beautiful as they go. Help me give generously to support world missions, and remind me to pray faithfully for those on the front lines. And right where I am, use me as a mouthpiece for Your truth — to shine Your light and share Your good news boldly and lovingly. In Jesus' name, Amen.
