Description

The global church is exploding with growth—and at the center of it all is God’s scandalous grace. In this episode, Jim talks with Serge field worker and theologian Stephanie Black about how the gospel is transforming lives across Africa, Asia, and beyond. Come be encouraged: the Kingdom is advancing, Christ is at work, and His grace is far more powerful and global than we imagine.

In this episode, they discuss…

• Africa as the Center of Christian Growth (18:30)
• Contextualizing Scripture (25:26)
• Idols, Food, and Hospitality (38:12)
• Sonship: Legalism to Radical Grace (45:20)
