Dr. Jackson Wu is the theologian in residence at Mission One in Phoenix, AZ. His 15 years spent as a missionary and training church planters in East Asia gives him a unique perspective on Western Christianity, and especially - you guessed it - Individualism. We cover a LOT of ground, including: the “decolonizing”  language that’s part of our Deconstruction “moment,” the inherent tension between “belonging” and our Individuality, and how American Evangelicalism’s hyper-focus on Individualism precludes the Gospel’s resolution of unaddressed shame.
