Summer Lecture Series: Understanding and Using Worldview Frameworks in Missions - EP192

About this episode

The episode discusses the importance of understanding worldview and culture in missions and how to effectively implement this understanding in evangelism strategies.

Understanding worldview and culture is vital to our contextualization efforts as missionaries. However, knowing how to take our understanding of a culture and implement it wisely in our missions strategy and Gospel communication can sometimes be unclear. On this episode of The Sent Life, Scott and Keelan seek to answer the question, to what extent should we utilize worldview frameworks, like honor-shame, in our cross-cultural evangelism? And how do we ensure that the Gospel is accurately portrayed in this process? We hope you enjoy this installment of The Sent Life's Summer Lecture Series! Thanks for tuning in to The Sent Life!
