Episode notes
Radical Discipleship Requires Higher Standards
- Radical discipleship means measuring ourselves against Christ and extreme examples like Brother Andrew, not the weak Christianity around us.
- Eric Ludy cites Brother Andrew saying If I could live my life over again I would be a lot more radical, provoking deeper self-examination.
Peace Child Framed Missionaries As Legend Makers
- Don Richardson's Peace Child frames the gospel as a 2,000-year-old invading message confronting Sawi values of treachery in Southwest New Guinea.
- Richardson describes missionaries as "legend makers" bringing love, prayer, and faith to conquer entrenched darkness.
Old School Missions Required One Way Commitment
- The older missionary model demanded total abandon: one-way tickets, lifelong devotion, and costly sacrifice as the norm.
- Leonard Ravenhill contrasts old-school permanence (Jackie Pullinger, Amy Carmichael) with today's ease of travel.
