  • Culture or cult?

    Culture of authority wielded predatorily

    Sending cultus is an idol, merely,

    Upon whose altar gleefully

    They sacrifice humility

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Are Muslims Leaving Islam? with Dr. Ant Greenham - EP184
Q: When we say that perhaps people in the Islamic world are leaving at a higher number Islam, what does it look like to evangelize an atheist Muslim?
Evangelizing an atheist Muslim involves engaging their quest for truth, validating their questions, and presenting Christian claims through rational examination (like textual criticism), while avoiding hostile polemics and aiming to lead them toward the cross rather than simply debunking Islam.
Are Muslims Leaving Islam? with Dr. Ant Greenham - EP184
Q: Can you help define this idea of attrition for us? What we mean when we talk about that?
Attrition refers to Muslims from Muslim backgrounds who distance themselves from Islam due to doubts or conflicts between their experiences and the beliefs or rules of the faith; it can involve remaining in the community outwardly while questioning or discarding core beliefs, or leaving the community altogether and pursuing other affections.
How Does Theological Ed Fit in the Missionary Task? with Dr. Will Brooks - EP182
Q: Why is indigeneity and contextualization so important in missionary work, and how do you balance fidelity to scripture with local expression?
Indigeneity means the church should look like it belongs in a given place while preserving biblical truth; contextualization requires ongoing collaboration between missionaries and local believers to adapt forms (music, dress, communication) without compromising the gospel, to avoid simply transplanting Western models.
How Does Theological Ed Fit in the Missionary Task? with Dr. Will Brooks - EP182
Q: What is the Global Theological Initiative, and how does it differ from other sending offices or offices that train students to go abroad?
The initiative concentrates on national partners—seminaries and denominations overseas—to train leaders locally, pursue healthy theological education, and ensure sustainability by indigenizing leadership and pedagogy, contrasting with purely sending or front-end mission models.
How Does Theological Ed Fit in the Missionary Task? with Dr. Will Brooks - EP182
Q: Tell us a little about yourself and what brought you from the field back to Southeastern?
Will Brooks describes his journey from working in East and Southeast Asia focusing on theological education and leadership development, and explains his role directing the Global Theological Initiative and the aim of empowering national partners rather than creating long-term dependence on Western institutions.
