The Roots Network Podcast
The Roots Network Podcast is a deep dive into the stories, struggles, and triumphs of mission work in East Africa. Hosted by Adam Koelling and Patrick Briscoe, this show explores what it means to live out the Gospel in places where others seldom go. From bioethics and cultural clashes to raw stories of redemption and community transformation, we invite you to join the conversation as we seek to see lives, communities, and cultures rooted in the love of Christ and transformed by the Gospel. We believe you will be challenged, encouraged, equipped, and entertained.
