Alex serves with ABWE as Director of Communications, leads as an elder at Faith Bible Fellowship Church of York, and writes at the intersection of missions theology and cultural engagement. In this conversation, Chase and Alex work through one of the most contested and misunderstood concepts in modern Christianity: the ordo amoris, or the order of loves. Drawing on Scripture, Augustine, and the deep wells of Christian tradition, Alex makes the case that love is not flat—it is hierarchical, particular, and purposeful. They discuss how every current culture war issue is, at root, a question of disordered love; why the Good Samaritan parable actually supports rather than undermines ordered love; what a nation truly is and why it matters for both missions and politics; and why a missionary's love for the nations must be grounded in a genuine love for their own nation and people. Alex also responds to key objections—from progressives who claim the concept is unbiblical, to nationalists who want to abandon foreign missions altogether—and explains why he wrote the book to produce "missionaries with the heart of an activist and activists with the heart of a missionary."
