Both: Living Outside the Either/Or of Your Faith (Unabridged‪)‬

What if we didn’t have to choose?


Why is the idea of “missions” often presented as a checkbox on a holy to-do list?

Are you frustrated by strategies that champion evangelism but don’t address the practical needs of families and communities?

Are you tired of humanitarian approaches that dismiss spiritual needs altogether?

Do you long for a more vibrant, love-out-loud approach to missions?


What if we expanded our definition of missions? What if it were less about handouts and more about truly loving our neighbors? What if it were more about helping people thrive on Earth and not just getting to heaven? What if we didn’t have to choose between the physical and spiritual when meeting people’s needs? What if it could really be about both?


Living a life of faith—one that embraces the sacred value and messy humanity of others—is the next revolutionary chapter of “missions” as we know it. In Both, Noel presents a compelling vision for what modern missions can be: a robust and holistic expression of embodied faith “on Earth as it is in heaven".
