Your life can look “successful” and still feel strangely small. Brittany sits down with Nicole Parks from Cafe 1040 to talk about why that happens, and what changes when we stop treating the Great Commission like a nice idea and start treating it like a clear calling.

Nicole explains how Cafe 1040 serves young adults through a highly intentional missions mentorship program: three months of pre-field mentoring, three months overseas with long-term missionaries (often in closed access contexts), and coaching afterward to help graduates take concrete next steps. We talk about why so many people feel called but never go, what it means to come back with your “yes on the table,” and how clarity and confidence can turn passion into long-term obedience.

We also get personal about the pull of the American dream, the impact of Perspectives, and why the Great Commission is a thread that runs from Genesis to Revelation. If you’re not 18 to 29, you’re not off the hook. Nicole shares practical ways “mature adults” and parents can join God’s global purposes right now through prayer, giving, welcoming internationals, mobilising others, and everyday discipleship tools like Joshua Project, a simple globe habit, and an oikos map.
