My guest this week is Jamie Wright. Jamie is known online as Jamie the Very Worst Missionary, and recently published her first book, The Very Worst Missionary: A Memoir or Whatever. We talk about her book, as well as touching on criticism of mission work, evangelicalism, weirdos, and why the critique of 'only saying something negative' doesn't hold much weight.

My guest is Jamie Wright. After finding her faith at a suburban megachurch, Jamie trades in the easy life on the cul-de-sac for the green fields of Costa Rica. There, along with her family, she earnestly hopes to serve God and change lives. But faced with a yawning culture gap and persistent shortcomings in herself and her fellow workers, she soon loses confidence in the missionary enterprise and falls into a funk of cynicism and despair. Nearly paralyzed by depression, yet still wanting to make a difference, she decides to tell the whole, disenchanted truth: Missionaries suck and our work makes no sense at all! From her sofa in Central America, she launches a renegade blog, Jamie the Very Worst Missionary, and against all odds wins a large and passionate following. Which leads her to see that maybe a "bad" missionary--awkward, doubtful, and vocal—is exactly what the world and the throngs of American do-gooders need. The Very Worst Missionary (https://www.amazon.com/Very-Worst-Missionary-Memoir-Whatever/dp/0451496531) is a disarming, ultimately inspiring spiritual memoir for well-intentioned contrarians everywhere.
