    Barriers to Missional Generosity - Negative Stereotypes & the Racial Other

There is a better way for Christians, but to help effectively, we must recognize the barriers that stand in our way. In this episode, Drs. Badriaki and Price discuss negative stereotypes, the concept of "the racial other," and how such hidden barriers can so easily impede our missional generosity.
