Today we talk with Barrett's long time friend and fellow laborer, Michael Mettetal. It is a true treat to get to speak with Michael as he is one of the most thoughtful and deep people we know, a veritable font of wisdom. We talk about evangelism and how at its core, to be done correctly, it must be a selfless act.

It's movie night at The Rabbit Trails Podcast! We recently both watched a fascinating and moving documentary entitled "I'll Push You" and we discuss our reactions to it and what we learned from it. All this and a few more rabbit trails mixed in, tieing it all together with a reflection on what it means for missionaries.

We got to talk with Aaron Robinson, the director of student-led movements for Agape France. Aaron has lived in France for over 15 years and is an incredible practitioner of the gospel. Aaron really walks with God and he oozes joy. We know you will enjoy it.

What does it take to be successful as a missionary? As always, we verbally process our thoughts as we go. After a long time in many contexts, we reflect over the things that have led to whatever modicum of success we can lay claim to. In the process, we also discuss a little bit about what are the pitfalls of the stories about grand success that we believe. Thanks for stopping by!

We wrap up our discussion with the guys about our time on the Camino together...Giddy. That is the word that describes our mood over this episode and the next of The Rabbit Trails Podcast. We talk a lot about pilgrimage on here and today you get to learn some of why this metaphor of pilgrimage is so important to us. Back in September 2019, we got to walk the Camino de Santiago Thanks to the confines of COVID-19, we were able to get the gang back together to share about our 7 days on the trail together and what made it so meaningful. We put an easy two hours into talking about it, so we have divided it into two parts. Enjoy!

We are severely lucky to be joined by two very good friends and colleagues, Mike Schatzman and Joe Schlie. Mike serves in Lisbon, Portugal now but lived in Estonia before that, and Joe lived in France for 15 years and now works with Cru City in the US and calls Chicago home. These guys are Legends. There is no other way to put it.

What else could we possibly talk about? We take this moment in history to talk about the effects of Coronavirus on our lives, on the world and what ultimately will change and last? Will we forever be wearing masks and doing work from Zoom? Or is this a brief moment in history, an intermission after which a big social party begins?
