This week's episode is a bit heavier but necessary. We take a close look at some examples of missions done badly as far back as Christopher Columbus and as recently as 2010. We also discuss the problem of the "white saviour complex" that exists in many areas of the world and deal with some common, unhelpful platitudes such as, "God doesn’t only use missions to change others; God uses missions to change us."
