Legacy

Fusion Movement

The Legacy Podcast from Fusion is about lives well-lived and a long obedience in the same direction. It is all about the long-term impact of student mission. When a student gives their life to Jesus, we join in with Heaven's celebration. But the story doesn't stop there. That fantastic moment of decision is the beginning of a complex, glorious story that goes on to influence the lives of thousands of other people.

In each episode, Luke Smith interviews someone who's lived as a disciple of Jesus for a long time. They might have become a Christian as a student or they might have worked with students for a long time. Each one will shed light on the rich tapestry of student mission.
