EP#19 - Missiology in times of unravelling - with Martin Rodriguez and Greg McKinzie

Al Roxburgh and Jenny Sinclair talk with the co-hosts of The Missiology Podcast, Martin Rodriguez and Greg McKinzie to discuss mission. They discuss how the churches have been affected by modernity, and how mission needs to change. Sharing the disorientation they encounter among church leaders, they explore the tension between missiological scholarship and relationships with real people. And, drawing on their conversations with missiologists and missionaries, as well as their own missional experience - in South America, China and the United States - in prisons, with the homeless, and in their own neighbourhoods - Martin and Greg share how their grounded relationships shape what they know about justice.

Martin Rodriguez is Family Life Minister at the Hollywood Church of Christ in Hollywood, and served as a missionary in China mentoring emerging leaders and planting churches.

Martin also holds an MDiv from Fuller Theological Seminary and a degree in Religion and International Studies from Pepperdine University, California. He is also a content editor of Missio Dei: A Journal of Missional Theology and Praxis, a member of the team at missiology.com and co-host of The Missiology Podcast.
