Listen "Are We ‘Unhinged’? What Genocide, Assassination, and Other Current News Means for Missions"
Episode Synopsis
In this week's episode, we dive deep into the headlines that are shaping our world and explore how they intersect with the Great Commission. From the UN's warning of a “great fracture” to geopolitical tensions between Canada and India, we ask: What does this mean for the spread of the gospel? We also shed light on the plight of the deaf community, who are among the largest unreached people groups, and discuss the role of the church in natural disasters, as seen in Morocco. Lastly, we touch on the ongoing persecution of Armenian Christians. Tune in for a biblically grounded take on current events.
