Learning the language of a people group that doesn't know your native tongue is essential for effective communication, especially when it comes to sharing the Gospel. But even in cultures that may know and converse in English (or another language), learning and communicating in a person's heart language helps us to get below the surface and share the treasures of the Good News of Jesus Christ. Matt, a missionary and speaker of over 4 languages is with us on the podcast today to discuss the importance of language learning.

Some of the questions addressed in this episode are:

-What is the relationship between language and culture?

-What is the appropriate level of language competency and cultural awareness necessary for effective missions?

-What are some of the language learning strategies that you use?
