Summary

"Matthew 27 shows us the suffering Jesus endured to bring salvation to the world. How should seeing the cost of the cross deepen our sense of urgency for getting Scripture to those who haven't heard? In today's episode, Emma Dotter talks with Seed Company CEO and Watermark member, Davis Powell about Matthew 27-28. Davis talks about the importance of accessibility of the Scriptures for all people and explains how Seed Company is meeting this need in unreached people groups.
