About

This is a news and comment site, exploring culture and current events through the lens of Christianity. Blogs, podcasts, and other media shared here are mostly the opinions of writer, producer, and podcast host Stace Massengill. However, every attempt is made to keep a biblical perspective on each topic.

Founder

Stace Massengill established Great Commission Ministries in June of 2011, with the launch of the GC web-series. He is the youngest of four children and grew up as a son of a preacher in west Tennessee.

“I was raised in church,” says Stace, “but I came to realize at some point that I wasn’t going to coast into heaven on Mom and Dad’s coat-tails.” Indeed, he learned through some personal trials and study of the Word that he needed his own experience with Jesus – His own relationship with God.

“I try to share the lessons I’ve learned with others,” he adds, “because the Bible tells us plainly, ‘Freely you have received, and freely you must give.’ We weren’t meant to keep the knowledge or blessings of God to ourselves. We are blessed to be a blessing. And the Great Commission is every Christian’s duty.”

Origins

The GC web-series ran for 7 seasons, and it was where Great Commission Ministries began in 2011. That was followed by a handful of videos in a series called “67 Seconds of Encouragement.” Meanwhile, GCM’s online ministry grew to include blogs, podcasts, and more.

Great Commission Ministries joined with long-standing production partner CaveMedia to become Great Commission Media. We’re still GCM, only better.

GCM Today

Now that ministry continues here on The GCMedia website through carefully sourced news stories, podcasts, videos, social media posts, blogs, as well as the podcast transcripts found in blog form on this site. And don’t forget our internet radio station, Kingdom Radio!

GCM has expanded its scope somewhat, but it still has the same goal as always – to advance the Kingdom of God and the Great Commission by spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ to the world via the internet.
