Hi there, Friend!
Welcome back to your curated Missio Roundup—trending articles, recent podcasts, hand-picked resources, and timely news to serve you. It has been an incredibly strange and trying season since our last Roundup was sent in February, to say the least.
We have expanded this edition to include the best of our summer content; we trust this curated roundup is helpful to you and your team as we head into the fall. Thank you for your continued support.
