Cross-cultural missions is an exciting calling. But Christians may be surprised to learn there are real problems in the missions community. The woke theology many believers have recently discovered in their midst is also being advanced overseas. These postmodern teachings arrived from our own shores through western missionaries. Biblical missionaries may find themselves shunned and shamed for holding to the ancient Gospel.

Christians preparing to launch into missions may have no clue this is going on. The pastors, missions committees and lay Christians who support these missionaries are likely in the dark too. How can churches discover exactly what is going on? How can you learn more and respond properly? How can we pray over this movement which has advanced quietly over decades?

Veteran missionary and author E.D. Burns joins the Christian Emergency Podcast to shed helpful daylight on this important topic. He shares thoughtful insights from his recent book, Ancient Gospel, Brave New World. Burns highlights both what is going well in today's missions efforts, and also areas for concern. But he also unpacks important lessons that will expand your understanding of theology, missions and evangelism. And if you really want to strengthen your understanding of these themes, get a copy of Burns' book: Ancient Gospel, Brave New World.
