What does it really mean to live an adventurous life of faith and leadership?
In this powerful conversation, Rob Hoskins sits down with longtime friend and generosity leader Mart Green to unpack the meaning of “adventure partners,” the importance of governance, and why no leader should pursue big Kingdom assignments alone.
Episode Overview
Together, they reflect on nearly three decades of friendship, generosity, risk-taking, and shared mission—from producing films and rescuing institutions in crisis to shaping ministries that can endure for generations. Along the way, they reveal how strong governance, trusted relationships, and personal accountability are often the difference between leaders who flourish and leaders who fail.
Mart defines adventure as “a dangerous and uncertain undertaking,” and this episode explores why following God often requires stepping far outside your comfort zone. But the deeper message is this: the greatest adventures are never meant to be lived alone.
