About this episode
Today in our fourth and final part of our series on postmodernism Pastor Jacob Ballard explains four key guidelines for cross-cultural ministry.
- Always change the language, but never change the message
- Exchange meta-narrative for personal narrative or community narrative
- Exchange certainty for humility, clues, hints, and mysteries
- Exchange absolutist morality for personal accountability and communal action
