So many significant issues are found at the intersection of theology and missions, yet people often speak about one to the neglect of the other. We ask questions about contextualization, honor and shame, biblical interpretation, and the church's mission in the world. Hosted by Jackson Wu, Werner Mischke, and Carrie Vaughn, discussions and interviews seek answers that are biblically faithful and culturally meaningful.

How did Paul reframe humanity’s universal problem in his letter to Romans? Today we’ll be taking a lens to Romans in order to contextualize the text for the present day. We’ll break down all the ways that Paul relativized, reframed, and re-narrated ideas of collective identity and status within Romans. Then, we use this perspective to explore status & identity in our modern culture in comparison to the Biblical world. Join us for a compelling journey of contextualization throughout Romans!
