Think Like a Missionary

In the interests of full disclosure, I should acknowledge that my missionary vocation and experience profoundly influence how I think about preaching and culture. I spent my teen years as a missionary kid in Central America. I have spent most of my adult life as a cross-cultural missionary as well. By default, I tend to think like a missionary.

“Thinking like a missionary” will kill any tendency to see culture as a monolithic beast to slay.
