Arguably one of the most well-known missionaries from recent times, and Dr. Paul Akin's favorite, is Jim Elliot. It would be impossible to explain the impact that both Jim and Elisabeth Elliot's lives and ministry have made on the Church in such a short episode, but with us to talk about this very thing today is Dr. Danny Akin, president of the Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary.

Some of the questions addressed in this episode:

-What sparked Elliot’s passion for getting the gospel to the unreached? Specifically, what lead him to the Huaorani people of Ecuador?

-Tell us what happened with the martyrdom. What went wrong? Was it avoidable?

-Prior to their martyrdom, were they making progress with the tribe? Did any noteworthy thing happen?

Books mentioned in this episode:

-Through the Gates of Splendor by Elisabeth Elliot

-Shadow of the Almighty: The Life and Testament of Jim Elliot (Lives of Faith) by Elisabeth Elliot

-The Journals of Jim Elliot by Jim and Elisabeth Elliot
