What is biblical missions—and how is it different from simply doing good? Pastor Tyler is joined by Communications Director Kim Warden and Missions Committee Chair Kortni Lasater to discuss how ministry and missions work together. They explain why genuine missions must include the gospel, how missional living takes place in everyday relationships, and why serving others should point beyond humanitarian help to reconciliation with God through Jesus Christ. The conversation also explores Fairview’s local, domestic, and international partnerships; the proper role of short-term mission trips; and the importance of strengthening local churches and long-term missionaries. Missions is not merely an event, trip, or financial contribution. It is the church gathering to be equipped, going where God sends, serving with purpose, and living each day for the advance of the gospel.

In this episode of the Family Table Podcast, Kim and Lydia sit down with Cole and Kortni Lasater to hear the story behind one of Fairview's families. From an unexpected college connection that began with a Facebook message, to building a home where four generations live together, their story is full of laughter, faith, and God's faithful direction. The Family Table Podcast exists to turn familiar faces into family by sharing the stories of the people who make up Fairview Church. We hope this conversation encourages you to know others more deeply and celebrate the ways God is at work through ordinary people. 👍 If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to like, subscribe, and share it with someone who could use the encouragement. #FamilyTablePodcast #FairviewChurch #MyFairview #ChurchFamily #FaithStories #ChristianPodcast
