PMPod Mini Episode: A Jumble Sale of Thoughts

Today on the Pod, I share a quote from one of my heroes, Martin Luther about his conversation, and also one from the Puritan Richard Baxter, about pressing into Scripture so we can treasure God more. I share four temptations cross-cultural workers might face, a few things I'm learning from my injury, and then we cap off this jumble sale of a podcast with a little comparison between our glorious Gospel and Islam. • Luther’s struggle with Romans 1:17 and the discovery of righteousness as God’s gift through faith • Baxter’s challenge to study deeper when Christ does not feel enough • Four temptations for cross-cultural workers: sloth, self, silver, sex • How legalism and burnout can hide behind “productivity” on the field • Financial anxiety, support pressure and future fears under the pull of silver • Why sexual temptation can derail ministry and why singleness can fuel idolatry • What injury reveals about receiving love, hidden idols and judging others • A hard look at impatience, harsh words and pride disguised as passion • Christianity and Islam compared through outward rules versus heart transformation it’s okay to be normal.
