Special thanks to Brazos Press, sponsor of this episode, and publisher of the new book, Exiles on Mission.
Many Christians in the West sense that traditional Christian teaching is losing traction in the public square. What does faithful Christian witness look like in a post-Christian culture? In Exiles on Mission, Paul Williams invites readers to embrace the language of exile and imagine a hopeful mission of the church in the post-Christian West. He shows a clear pathway for fruitful missional engagement for the whole people of God, helping Christians make sense of the world in which they live, more authentically integrate faith with everyday life, and orient all of their efforts within God’s missional purpose for the world.
