Missions Sermons You Should Listen to...

Yes, these are all Piper sermons, but he just happens to be the clearest and most helpful Bible teacher on these topics in my experience. I can recommend other sermons from other pastors if you contact me.

  Missions Exists Because Worship Doesn't
An excellent sermon on the "fuel and goal of missions"
  Do Not Be Conformed to this World
A powerful and easy-to-understand and thoroughly Biblical teaching on how to live and share Christ cross-culturally.
  The Pride of Babel and the Praise of Christ
God has a glorious purpose for making a world full of diverse languages and cultures, a purpose for His church in that world, and He used a spectacular sin and judgment toward that purpose at the start of it all.
  Christians Care About All Suffering and Injustice
A thoroughly Biblical case for how Christians should weigh and prioritize care and concern for physical needs and injustices in the light of eternity and the weight of God's glory.

Other Podcasts

Bridge to God's Word Podcast Bridge to God's Word
A friend of mine, from Moody Bible Institute, has a podcast similar to mine, except much more focused on going through the text of the scripture line-by-line and dealing with translation issues. Kind of a Bible study from the perspective of a translation expert.
Global Missions Podcast Global Missions Podcast
Discusses important issues involved in participating in the great commission, especially as a sender. Disclaimer: What I've heard so far is good, but I can't guarantee that they won't ever feature a guest with whom I don't agree 100% on every point. That being said, even in that case, you will be more aware of issues involved and better able to participate meaningfully in the great commission.
The Mission Matters Podcast The Mission Matters Podcast
Discusses important strategic issues in world missions. Disclaimer: not everything said by everyone in every episode necessarily reflects my viewpoint, but even in those case, it is worth engaging in and thinking biblically about these conversations.
VOMRadio (Voice of the Martyrs)
Voice of the Martyrs raises awareness and prayer and support for our persecuted brothers and sisters throughout the global church.
Joshua Project Unreached People Group of the Day Podcast Joshua Project Unreached People of the Day
A brief 1-minute summary of an unreached people group to pray for today.
Pray the Word with David Platt Pray the Word with David Platt
David Platt reads a passage of scripture, leads us in praying through it, and ends with a prayer applying that promise to an unreached people group that we're praying for today.
