September 24, 2024 • Team I’m Telling God About This • Season 1 • Episode 32

In this episode of the 'I'm Telling God About This' podcast, we discuss the complexities and implications of short-term missions, particularly in the Western context. We share personal experiences, critique the effectiveness of such missions, and explore the value of cross-cultural experiences for young Christians. Our conversation delves into the evolution of missions, the role of ethnocentrism, and the importance of honesty in church missions programs. We explore the evolving landscape of missions, emphasizing the need for cultural relevance, skilled labor, and effective training for leaders. We also discuss the shortcomings of traditional mission trips, the importance of understanding local contexts, and the potential of business as a mission strategy to fund and support church growth.
