Craig Greenfield joins me on the podcast to talk about something I’ve been processing lately – missions. Specifically, Craig has written a book called Subversive Mission on how to serve well as outsiders. In the history of Christianity, Western missionary work has often equaled colonialism, and we need to be aware of how we still carry that with us. Our communal past need not prevent us from our current ministry though. We can make the necessary shifts in missions to coming alongside each other in mutuality and care.
