At the core of everything we do here at MAPS Global is this fundamental truth: Jesus is Worthy. But what does it mean when we ascribe “worth” to Jesus? Many times we can be prone to religious rhetoric when we say the word “worthy”. It is not just the right answer to a Sunday School question. “Jesus is Worthy” is a cost statement that demands a response. In this episode, R.A. Martinez talks about the first “why” at MAPS; the matchless worth of the Lamb of God that is the fuel and the finish line of all we do.

R.A. Martinez sits down and discusses our perspective on the current war in the Middle East. Many are only seeing it from a geo-political perspective and seeking to take "sides". However, there is another perspective to look from and pray from. As a spiritual family we are praying and responding through the lens of God's heart for mercy and the Great Commission. Jesus is inviting us to contend for mercy in the midst of increasing conflict in the nations and to open a door in the region for the Gospel.
