Others take a more humanitarian approach, dismissing spiritual needs altogether. It's exhausting and frustrating. But it doesn't have to be this way. What if I told you there was a more vibrant, love-out-loud approach to missions? What if I told you we were made for more?

He lived in the wild, wore weird clothes, had an appetite for bugs, and an aptitude for berating people. But, despite John the Baptist’s eccentric appearance and lifestyle, Jesus claimed “there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist” (Matt. 11:11). Who was John the Baptist? What made him so great? Perhaps, most importantly, what can we learn from him about true greatness in God’s kingdom?
