This Mission Moment from The Expositor’s Mic shares the inspiring and sobering story of Karen Watson, a former detention officer who answered God’s call to serve in the war torn nation of Iraq. Despite great risk, she faithfully ministered to the people of Mosul before her tragic martyrdom in 2004. Her courage and legacy challenge us to embrace obedience and faithfulness in mission despite the cost.

This Mission Moment from The Expositor’s Mic tells the story of Martha Edmonia Moon, sister of the famous Lottie Moon. A trailblazer in her own right, Edmonia answered God’s call as one of the earliest single women missionaries, faithfully serving in China for over 30 years. Though lesser known, her quiet dedication helped pave the way for missions and left a lasting legacy.

Is wisdom enough on its own? In this episode, we challenge the modern idea that knowledge is the highest pursuit, turning instead to the Apostle Paul's powerful words in Colossians 2:1–5. Paul reminds the church that love not intellect is the foundation on which true wisdom must be built.

As false teachers threatened the Colossian believers, Paul urged them to stand firm not as individuals, but as a body united in love. We’ll explore how love fuels spiritual understanding, strengthens the church, and equips us to resist deception. If you've been trying to follow Christ in isolation or lean too heavily on your own wisdom, this message is a wake up call: we are stronger together, and love is the bond that holds the body of Christ in place.
