Kurt Klement, the executive director of Divine Renovation and a longtime Catholic missionary in the Diocese of Dallas, joins the BeatiDudes – Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein. Kurt shares a behind-the-scenes look at what it means to walk alongside others, whether through mission trips, street ministry, or formation in daily life.

Kurt opens up about his journey from a high school retreat conversion to leading mission experiences across borders and zip codes. From the heat of West Texas to the chill of Czech pubs, he’s seen that missionary work isn’t about distance traveled, it’s about intentional presence and radical receptivity to God’s call.

The Dudes and Kurt dive into:
• How real transformation starts with accompaniment, not agendas
• Why spiritual growth happens when you're uncomfortable
• The tension between planning for your ministry needs and letting God interrupt your calendar
• Leading with humility in a world obsessed with hustle
• How to foster “missionary eyes” in your everyday routine

This episode will inspire you to live as a missionary disciple, whether you’re crossing oceans or just crossing the street.
