In this TALKS Episode, Tim engages in a profound conversation with Joash Thomas, an international speaker and theologian. They explore themes of decolonization, the impact of colonization on theology, and the cultural shock experienced by Joash as he transitioned from the Global South to the American evangelical context. The discussion delves into the importance of justice in the gospel, the role of empathy in changing perspectives, and the challenges posed by rising Christian nationalism in contemporary politics.
