Behold, our God.

Welcome to Scattered Abroad. This Is Our Story.

In Acts 8, the Church was very young and very persecuted. Six chapters had passed since the thrilling events of Acts 2. The Church was still confined to Jerusalem. And things were not going well. In Chapter 7, they killed Stephen. In 8:1, “a great persecution arose against the church.” In 8:3, Saul “made havoc of the church.” The Church was scattered. It was separated. It was struggling.

Or was it? They were separated – but not stopped. 8:4 says, “Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word.” They were scattered, yet still sowed the seed. That is the goal of the Scattered Abroad podcast network. Our team is scattered throughout the United States, but we all have the same goal: to preach God’s Word to as many people as possible. We hope you’ll join us on our journey to plant, water, and trust God to give the increase.

A team that wants to help you get to Heaven.

Clemson fan (him and Daniel aren't on speaking terms), Braves fan (so isn't on speaking terms with Chase, Caleb, or Michael), played college baseball. Just generally an accomplished human. Just had twins, so hasn't slept in months.

Daniel Webster

Youth minister. Grad school student. Designer. Outdoorsman. Loves disc golf a little too much. Roll tide.

Daniel is the associate/youth minister at the Mabelvale Church of Christ in Little Rock, AR. Somehow, he's graduated from both the Memphis School of Preaching and Amridge University. He is also currently slogging through a Master's of Divinity degree. If you're wondering how he became a host, his design company does the design work for Scattered Abroad, and we wanted a discounted rate. (Not really.) When he's not studying or designing, you can usually find Daniel playing disc golf. If he's not doing that, he's probably playing a different sport or reading or losing in fantasy football.

Thursday: Did That Really Happen? (SUMMER)

Solomon wrote, "A merry heart does good, like medicine." Given that, this podcast may just be just what the doctor ordered. Get ready to laugh (and maybe even cry) as you hear these stories of Kingdom service.

Highlights (SPECIAL)

TL;DR: highlight different good stuff going on in the Church today.
