What exactly is Christian mission? Is it inevitably linked to empire, to neocolonialism, to power dynamics? Do missionaries inevitably trample on the host culture with ethnocentric arrogance? Shouldn't we just leave others alone, with some kind of detached pluralistic indifference or vague anthropological notion of 'pristine' tribal people who ought not to have contact with or influence from outsiders?This episode with author, Will Maxson addresses these questions, as we reflect on his latest book about mission and colonisation.Will spent a few years in Afghanistan and now resides in the States.

Not many people realise that India, in spite of being a majority Hindu country, is also the world's 3rd most populous Muslim country (with over 200 million Muslims). Moreover, in spite of dynamic church growth and movements to Christ in some parts of the country, it remains the nation with the largest number of unreached people groups in the world. The Joshua project estimates that 95 out of 100 Indians live in an unreached people group (less than2% Evangelical and less than 5% Christian Adherent). And 3 out of 4 Indians live in frontier unreached people groups (less than 0.1%Christian Adherent, i.e. the most unreached). And the workers there are SO few compared to the numbers in Africa and Latin America. (For more details, look at the bar charts in this excellent Why India document.)In this episode Matt talks to a young couple who've been living in an Indian city for the best part of a decade. They share fascinating stories of life and ministry there, with its many ups and downs. Dodging cows and camels, trying not to get electrocuted and raising a family in a Muslim-majority neighbourhood... there's rarely a dull moment! Send us a message!Support the show_________________________________________________________________________________Do get in touch if you have any questions for Matt or for any of his guests.matt@frontiers.org.ukYou can find out more about us by visiting www.frontiers.org.ukOr, if you're outside the UK, visit www.frontiers.org (then select from one of our national offices).

In this episode Matt hears the testimony of a well-known ex-Muslim from Yemen, called John Ghanim (aka Yemeni John).  John came to faith in Jesus as a refugee in Greece a decade ago, but he had already abandoned Islam years earlier while walking around the Kaaba in Mecca, Islam's holiest place. John is full of infectious joy and he's a passionate evangelist who loves to share the good news of the God who offers us so much more than mere religion. He has lost much. He has regular threats on his life and a Fatwa declared against him for apostasy.

She's paid off $130,000 in debt, earned her German passport, and is about to launch her second tech startup. And she did all of it from Europe, where blueberries cost a dollar and a minor surgery runs you 300 euro — total.In this episode, Vanessa and I are getting into ALL of it: what it actually looks like to build a career, a business, and a life abroad. How she navigated work visas, taxes, and even burning down a GmbH to the tune of $100K of her own money to rebuild her startup in the US. We're talking passport diversification as the new financial strategy, why the American dream was always a lie, and how her new job platform Go Onwards is coming for LinkedIn's neck.If you've been thinking about leaving, this is your sign to stop playing and start moving.WE GET INTO:00:00 - Intro: The Baddie Who Left America in 2013 and Never Looked Back02:51 - Why Vanessa Said "Bye, America" at 21 with $2,000 and a Dream04:20 - The World Tour: China, London, Syria & Germany05:42 - What Her Life Would Have Looked Like If She'd Stayed08:42 - How to Actually Get a Job Abroad: Visas, Work Permits & What Nobody Tells You10:22 - How to Choose Where to Move13:20 - Grocery Bills, Free Healthcare & Why She Can Never Come Back16:16 - From Masterclass Girlie to Tech Founder: Her Creator Evolution18:57 - The Gap in the Market That Built Go Onwards21:55 - Why LinkedIn Doesn't Give a F*ck About Job Hunters (and She Does)23:33 - Pricing, Features & What You Get with Go Onwards24:44 - The $100K Founder Mistake She Made in Germany28:36 - The Real Tea on European Taxes31:33 - Digital Nomads, Remote Work & What 100% Remote Actually Means Abroad32:03 - How She Made $310K and Paid $26 in Federal Tax35:22 - Passports Are the New Insurance Policy36:03 - The (Very Legal, Slightly Gray) Way She's Bringing Her Family to Europe38:08 - How to Financially Prepare to Move AbroadKEY TAKEAWAYS:Getting a job in Europe as a US passport holder is more doable than you think — but you need to understand how work permits and visa sponsorship actually workThe Foreign Earned Income Exclusion lets you exclude up to $130K of foreign income from US federal taxes — stack it with tax credits and you'll be shocked at your billPassport diversification is the new financial strategy — multiple citizenships give you options that no investment account canGo Onwards filters out ghost posts, non-English jobs, and low-paying roles so you only see high-quality opportunities with visa sponsorship across all 30 EU economic areas + the UKYou don't need to fundraise to fund a startup — Vanessa liquidated part of her stock portfolio at peak to self-fund, treating it as diversification into a revenue-generating assetLiving abroad doesn't have to be expensive — Vanessa's all-in monthly budget in Berlin (including rent, health insurance, CrossFit, and Ubers home) is $2,500RESOURCES MENTIONED:Listen to Vanessa's past episode of the podGo Onwards (Vanessa's job platform)CONNECT WITH VANESSA:InstagramWebsiteTAKE THE NEXT STEP:Yo Quiero Dinero Private MembershipRead my book, Financially Lit!Leave me a voicemailThis episode of Yo Quiero Dinero was produced by Heart Centered Podcasting.

In this episode Matt talks with an old friend and mentor, Dr. Tim Green. Tim and his family lived in Pakistan, Jordan, the UK and South East Asia for many decades. He is a trainer, an educator, a writer and friend of many Muslims who have come to Christ in many different contexts. He's particularly interested in the global church listening to and learning from the voices and experiences of believers from a Muslim background. What happened when terrorists attacked the school in Pakistan that Tim and Rachel's children attended? How should one respond when an African student of a fundamentalist Islamic madrassa in your city (where the students have had weapons training in Afghanistan) asks you for a bible? These are just a few of the stories that Tim shares with us.To access the brilliant courses and resources that Tim has authored or helped to create, visit: https://word.org.uk/Come, Follow Me is the discipleship course particularly for believers from a Muslim background. Joining the Family is to help churches to understand and to welcome Muslim-background Christ followers into fellowship. Support the show_________________________________________________________________________________Do get in touch if you have any questions for Matt or for any of his guests.matt@frontiers.org.ukYou can find out more about us by visiting www.frontiers.org.ukOr, if you're outside the UK, visit www.frontiers.org (then select from one of our national offices).

This is the testimony of Esther, an Iranian lady who grew up as a Muslim under the Ayatollah's Islamic regime. Her story is a powerful one - of religious rituals and rules, of strict segregation, of being silent and unseen.She had only 8 hours to flee the country at one point because of a particular threat of being reported to the government. Her husband got caught and imprisoned on that day. In the UK, Esther began a journey to Jesus that involved visions, paintings, Scripture that came into her mind (though she had never seen a Bible) and a powerful dream. This is an amazing story of freedom - in more ways than one.Support the show_________________________________________________________________________________Do get in touch if you have any questions for Matt or for any of his guests.matt@frontiers.org.ukYou can find out more about us by visiting www.frontiers.org.ukOr, if you're outside the UK, visit www.frontiers.org (then select from one of our national offices).

In this episode we meet Ron, who spent decades with his family living in South Asia with nomadic peoples - shepherds and goatherders who spend the winters on the plains and the summers up in the mountains. We'll hear about the many dangers that they face and the many tragedies they endure.We also learn about how the nomadic life and mindset can teach us much about the various cultures and historical contexts of the Bible. In what sense are we, as the people of God, also nomadic? What is significant about the theme of 'tabernacle' throughout the Scriptures?To learn more about nomads or working with nomads, do check out The Nomadic Peoples Network here.

This is an excerpt from a patrons-only episode. To hear the full thing, and dozens more like it, visit Patreon.com/LoveMessagePod to sign up. In our final episode of 2025, Jeremy and Tim spend some time exploring the life and times of Bruce Springsteen. Tracing his life from his early career up to 1984, they unpack specificities of the Boss's politics, his particular aesthetic, and the often confused reception of his repertoire. We hear about the sense of place in his music, the influence of Dylan on his writing, the iconography of the small town and the big car, and his various attempts to express a white vernacular working class experience. Jeremy describes how Springsteen's songs of New Jersey post-industrialisation were heard in the cities of North West England, Tim interrogates his endorsement of Obama, and both try to understand his unique mass appeal in the USA, with callbacks to Zohran and our recent Dylanology episode.This is our last show of the year - thank you everyone for coming with us on this long strange trip. We return in early 2026 for more music, dance floors, sound systems and counter culture. www.LoveistheMessagePod.co.ukYou can read Tom Williams' article on Springsteen, ‘The Only Boss We Listen To', on Tribune at: https://tribunemag.co.uk/2022/11/the-only-boss-we-listen-toTracklist:Bruce Springsteen - Blinded by the Light Bruce Springsteen - 4th Of July, Asbury Park (Sandy) Bruce Springsteen - Thunder Road Patti Smith - Because the Night Bruce Springsteen - Badlands Bruce Springsteen - The River Bruce Springsteen - Atlantic City
