Global Mission as a Christian Colony and the Return of Ecclesiastes

Over the last several years, you have maybe heard Brandon speak about his Anabaptist tendencies towards culture. But what does that mean? And how does that apply to global mission? Perhaps somewhat overdue, in this episode Brandon is flying solo to share a brief vantage point around what it means to operate more as an alternate society or a Christian colony both in the states and as it pertains to transformational development. In the second segment, we’re diving into Ecclesiastes 3 as Brandon shares an important update regarding the future of the podcast.
