373 Postmodernism 4: Cross-Cultural Conversations

Today in our fourth and final part of our series on postmodernism Pastor Jacob Ballard explains four key guidelines for cross-cultural ministry.

1. Always change the language, but never change the message
2. Exchange meta-narrative for personal narrative or community narrative
3. Exchange certainty for humility, clues, hints, and mysteries
4. Exchange absolutist morality for personal accountability and communal action
