    Lessons from Africa: Missions, Education and Preparing the Next Generation, with Karen Elliott (Encore)

    Africa remains important for the Church. In the coming generations, the continent will be home for a huge swath of the world’s population. And while there are many challenges facing Africa, including poverty, militant Islam and instability – there are also many exciting things taking place. Karen Elliott of the Rafiki Foundation joined the Christian Emergency Podcast in this encore episode to share about some of those exciting developments, along with valuable context. She leans on her 30+ years of experience serving as a missionary and leading a missions organization in Africa, the Rafiki Foundation. Karen discusses how Rafiki has launched classical Christian schools in multiple African nations, to bless orphans and the poor with an education that allows them to think and serve faithfully. The lessons she draws out shed helpful light on the situation in Africa, but also speak to circumstances facing the Church globally.

    The Perspectives Course: A Missionary's Caution, with Josh Manley (Encore)

    For years, the Perspectives Course has been a go-to training option for Christians eager to learn about cross-cultural missions. Thousands have been blessed by the insight delivered through the course and its training text, Perspectives on the World Christian Movement. Pastors, missions committees, future missionaries and even regular Christians hoping to learn more about God’s heart for the peoples have benefitted. And while much of Perspectives is wonderful, you should be cautious about certain teachings embedded in the course. So warned Josh Manley, a pastor serving in the United Arab Emirates. Josh joined the Christian Emergency Podcast in this encore episode to highlight his concerns, particularly with Perspective’s favorable treatment of Church Planting Movements. Church Planting Movements, or CPM, sound amazing. But as Josh pointed out, CPM is a specific methodology that, when looked at closely, may have problems. Is CPM more biblical or pragmatic? What do Christians taking the Perspectives Course need to consider? Listen in and learn as Josh unpacks this important issue, which has already made a profound impact on missions and the Church.

    126. Christ or Collapse, with Dr. David Haskell

    What happens to cultures and societies when they depart from Christian standards and norms? Intuitively, we know thatrejecting Christianity leads to troubles, for individuals, churches and even countries. But does the evidence back this intuition? Joining the Christian Emergency Podcast to answer these questions and more is Dr. David Haskell. The Canadian sociologist serves as a tenured professor at Wilfrid Laurier University. As a biblical Christian, teaching on a public college campus in Canada has proven challenging. Over his years as an academic, he’s studied the sociological data and impact of cultures either embracing or abandoning Christian norms. The conclusions were clear and compelling. Cultures that follow Christian norms enjoy greater productivity, societal trust, lower crime, and a host of other benefits. The results were so stark, that Professor Haskell abandoned liberal Christianity and embraced a biblical faith. Dr. Haskell also addresses other important topics, including the impact of mass immigration, Bill C-9 (now known as the Combatting Hate Act since it was formally enacted into law), and the rash of church fires across Canada.

    Christian Lessons from Turkish Prisons, with Andrew Brunson (Encore)

    From 2016 to 2018, Andrew Brunson struggled inside Turkish prisons. For the previous 23 years, the American and his wife had served as missionaries with Turkey’s small Christian community.
