  • #150 IS MODERN MISSIONS IMPERIALISTIC? | The Future of the Church with Ric Olsen

    Are we doing missions wrong? In this deep-dive episode of Christian Podcast, Beto and Mili sit down with Ric Olsen to challenge the status quo of modern missionary work. From the "Double Orange" in California to global war zones, we explore a shifting landscape where the Western church is learning to move from a position of imperial power to one of true servant-heartedness.

    Ric Olsen—pastor, fire department chaplain, and leader of Love Orange—brings a unique perspective on what it means to actually "love your city" and how global missions are being turned upside-down as missionaries from India, Japan, and Brazil are now being sent to reach the U.S.

    In this episode, we discuss:

    • The Power Trap: Why the church often defaults to "Empire" structures and how to break free.
    • Cultural Redemptions: Finding the Gospel in unexpected places—from the Grammys and Bad Bunny to movies like K-pop Demon Hunters and The Magician's Nephew.
    • Local Missions: How "neutral playgrounds" like Love Orange are bringing government, business, and churches together to serve the community.
    • The Future: What will the church look like in 50 years? Ric shares his "Spectrum of Belief" on where we are headed.

    "Jesus never talked about leading; He always talked about serving." Join us for a conversation that invites the Holy Spirit to challenge our preconceptions and inspire a new way of living out our faith.

    **I CAN ONLY IMAGINE 2: The Mind-Blowing Spiritual Truth Behind the New Movie! | Brent McCorkle**


    What do you say when you’re "held to the flame"? In this powerful episode, we sit down with Brent McCorkle, the director of *I Can Only Imagine 2* (and co-director of *Jesus Revolution*), to dive into the deep spiritual themes behind the new film.


    Based on the MercyMe song "Even If," the movie explores a different side of Bart Millard’s journey—this time as a father struggling to connect with his son. We discuss the beautiful tension between suffering and the goodness of God, the importance of being a peacemaker in a fearful world, and the life-changing power of gratitude.


    Brent also shares the incredible real-life inspiration behind the character of Tim Timmons and his "Sharpie X" gratitude practice. Whether you’re a parent, someone walking through a "fire," or just looking for a reason to hope, this conversation is for you.


    **In this episode, we discuss:**

    * **The "Even If" Faith:** Finding hope when God chooses to leave mountains unmovable.

    * **Healing Trauma:** How parenting can trigger our own past wounds and lead to deeper healing.

    * **Empathy through Suffering:** Why our darkest moments are often what allow us to see others most clearly.

    * **The Immigrant Journey:** Beto and Mili share how these spiritual truths resonate with their 20-year journey in America.


    *I Can Only Imagine 2* releases nationwide on February 20th! We encourage you to see it in theaters and, as Brent suggests, follow it up with a "movie and a dinner" to keep these vital conversations going with your loved ones.
