  • 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.

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?
