Listen "08 - Bob Blincoe: Galatians, Acts, and the Two Structures of the Church"
Episode Synopsis
Why do we need mission agencies? And how should churches relate to them?
In this episode, Denver sits down with Dr. Robert Blincoe to discuss the two structures of the church: ecclesial bodies and apostolic bands. Bob believes there is good evidence that these two structures go all the way back to the first century, and he has studied their dynamic relationship throughout church history. As a leader and mobilizer of missionaries to Muslim-majority cultures, Bob is passionate about helping churches and mission agencies to cooperate as they recognize one another's unique contributions to God's kingdom purposes. Bob received his Master of Divinity and Master of Theology degrees from Fuller Theological Seminary, and he completed his PhD under Dr. Ralph Winter at William Carey International University.
