Why do churches in America send people on mission trips when Christianity is on the decline?

Christianity is shrinking in the U.S.… so why are we flying overseas? 🛫📉

In this clip from Episode 150 – From Worthwhile to Christian Tourism, Nate and Pastor Joseph get into the awkward reality of American churches sending people across the globe while their own backyards are spiritually starving.

Is it misguided? Is it noble? Is it just a really expensive group selfie? 🤔 They unpack the intent behind mission trips, the optics, and whether it’s helping or hurting the Church at large.

Expect sarcasm, conviction, and probably a little guilt—but the good kind.

🎙️ Hosted by Nate & Pastor Joseph
📍 Topic: The tension between global outreach and local decline
