This episode, we talk about the obstacles we face in missions work and the reputations that precede us. Do mission workers do more harm than good, even with righteous intentions? And do those intentions absolve them of responsibility? How do we introduce the gospel into a new culture without destroying it? And how can we advocate for international travel when it could be damaging our environment, especially in impoverished and developing areas?
