  • Solid, Biblical Foundation for Healthy Churches in Missions

    Great job proclaiming the importance of building up healthy churches overseas just as we want to do that here in the US. Pragmatic missiology not grounded in Scripture is more than problematic — it’s dangerous and leads to great harm for those we may have intended to help. I can’t wait to hear you guys dig in to how to apply these biblical principles to missions work.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

On Setting Strategic Priorities for Missions Sending from your Local Church (Ep. 60)
Q: Ryan, you're worried about binding people's current conscience. What do we do?
We have to be careful. If missions only centers around unreached language groups, it might bind consciences unnecessarily, especially when the scripture does not call for this exclusivity.
On Setting Strategic Priorities for Missions Sending from your Local Church (Ep. 60)
Q: Jeffrey, we often hear of different priorities and missions, whether that's unreached language groups or Bible translations or particular places in need of the gospel or people groups that have less than 2% of a population that's evangelical. So if a church sets a strategic priority and a specific aspiring missionary does not fit that specific church's priority, how should that church respond?
It's good to be clear whether that priority is biblical or arbitrary. It's worthwhile to think about where certain statistics come from and ensure that the aspiring missionary's work aligns with the church's goals.
On God's Sovereignty and Missions (Ep. 59)
Q: Any words for missionaries that are listening in on how they can rest in God's sovereignty?
This doctrine can provide comfort during discouraging times, reminding them that God is in control even when the results are not visible.
On God's Sovereignty and Missions (Ep. 59)
Q: How can a misunderstanding of God's sovereignty lead people to disobey the Great Commission?
Misunderstanding can lead to inaction, thinking that if God is sovereign, individuals are not needed in evangelism, overlooking the command to go and spread the gospel.
On God's Sovereignty and Missions (Ep. 59)
Q: AJ, how do we think about prayer in the missionary task in light of God's sovereignty?
Prayer is essential; underlying prayer for salvation is the belief that God is sovereign, acknowledging that only He can bring about salvation.
