In this episode of The GC Collective, Bay Area Send City Missionary James Westbrook joins Sarah Graham and Francis Chung for a thought-provoking conversation on how globalization is transforming the landscape of ministry in California. From the shifting identities of urban and rural churches to the call for pastors to think like missionaries, James challenges leaders to see the Great Commission not as a distant assignment but as a local one. Together, they unpack what it means to engage the harvest in our rapidly changing communities—and why “go and tell” must replace “come and see.”
