America, Love It, Leave It, or Both? Reasons Christians Should Travel Overseas, with Benj Giffone

Christians often talk about missions, hospitality, and loving the stranger. But few American believers ever test those convictions by stepping outside their own cultural world. This episode explores the reasons Christians should travel overseas, not as tourists chasing novelty but as disciples learning how God forms His people through displacement, cross‑cultural life, and the humility of being a foreigner.Benj Giffone has lived, taught, and ministered across Lithuania, India, South Africa, Singapore, and beyond. His story gets us thinking about how overseas experience reshapes how Christians read Scripture, helps us to think differently about war, immigration, and national identity. The episode argues that travel can be a spiritual discipline that exposes idols, expands empathy, and clarifies what Christian responsibility actually demands.What follows is an editorial‑style overview of Giffone’s argument — why global life matters, how it sharpens libertarian instincts, and what Christians should weigh when considering whether to stay, leave, or sojourn for a season. But to get the whole argument, you'll need to listen to or watch the episode!Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com Come meet fellow Christian libertarians, sharpen your thinking, and be part of a growing movement rooted in faith and freedom at the Christians for Liberty Conference.Lunch is included in the price of the ticket.
