I’m thankful for this series and don’t mean to offer the following as a negative review—more as an attempt in engaging with one of the episodes. Dr. Sittser’s stories about risk-taking missionaries are admirable in some ways, but I’m curious about what to make of the relational casualties these figures left in their wake. For example, leaving a dying wife behind for the mission field. Or arriving uninvited to a foreign community and asserting yourself as an authority, often to the benefit of a c... more
I love this series. I’ve listened to every episode, but someone please tell J.M to let the professor speak without interruption. Other than that great podcast.
I really wanted to make it through this series as the topic is so wonderful, but the interruptions are just insufferable. I ordered the book and will enjoy that way.

I love the content but speaking over your guests to interject just how much you also know about the subject is distracting. Why have a guest if you’d like to share all the information yourself?
