In this special episode of Everyday Reformation, Pastor Brandon Scroggins and Nick Carter welcome a beloved brother, missionary, and friend of Reformation Baptist Church—Joe Barnes. From his Mississippi roots and early spiritual wrestling to his life-transforming encounter with Christ, Joe shares the full arc of his journey to the mission field of Puno, Peru. Together, we explore the beauty and burden of planting a confessional Reformed Baptist church among indigenous and Catholic syncretistic cultures. With humility and clarity, Joe shares how God sovereignly used loss, discipleship, marriage, and pastoral mentorship to shape a calling rooted in the Great Commission. Tune in to hear how the Gospel is bearing fruit at the ends of the earth.
