In this thought-provoking episode of The Missions Podcast, Scott and Alex delve into a critical review of Matt Rhodes' book, No Shortcut to Success: A Manifesto for Modern Missions, followed by Rhodes' response to the review. While they agree on various key points, such as the importance of deep language learning and solid biblical training, they also raise points of concern. Is slowness a virtue in missions? Should short-term missions focus on evangelism outside the heart language? What is the right balance between relational and cold contact evangelism? Join the conversation as they navigate these questions and encourage listeners to approach discussions with other believers lovingly and to think beyond labels and buzzwords.
