Can Scripture be translated into animation and be faithful to the text?
In this episode of the Missions Podcast, Alex and Scott talk with Steve Cleary, founder of Revelation Media, about his groundbreaking work in creating the iBibleâan animated, visual translation of the entire biblical narrative from Genesis to Revelation. Steve Cleary launched a global multimedia project that seeks to reach oral and visual learners through a new medium of Scripture presentation, particularly in underserved regions.
The conversation also addresses deeper theological and strategic implications of visualizing Scripture, especially for oral cultures and generations increasingly disengaged from print literacy. By producing these high-quality, biblically faithful episodes and offering them freely, Revelation Media aims to serve global missions with impactful tools that reflect the whole gospel.
Key TopicsThe vision and development of the iBIBLE projectThe gap in oral and visual Bible access worldwideChallenges and theological considerations in adapting biblical content visuallyThe theological safeguards and review process for script accuracyThe importance of narrative in missions and reaching oral/visual learnersDownload the transcript for this episode.

What does the data say about Christianity in the American church today?
In this episode, Alex and Scott explore the emerging cultural and spiritual shifts among younger generations, particularly Gen Z, with guest Dr. Adam Rasmussen, Cultural Research Fellow and Dean of Arts & Humanities at Arizona Christian University. Drawing from recent data and studies by the Cultural Research Center and the American Bible Society, Rasmussen outlines a growing openness to spirituality and Christianityâespecially among young menâdespite the rise of secularism.
Together they also examine the mental health crisis and its correlation with worldview, revealing that a stronger biblical worldview significantly lowers struggles with anxiety, depression, and more. Rasmussen warns of the post-COVID decline in biblical worldview and church attendance but sees signs of revivalâparticularly in increased male engagement and hunger for authentic, biblical discipleship.

Should Christians reject or embrace wealth and prosperity?
In this episode of The Missions Podcast, Scott talks with Josiah Stowe, co-founder of Dominion Wealth Strategists, on the often-overlooked yet vital subject of money and prosperity theology in the context of missions and ministry. Their conversation explores the tensions missionaries face regarding financesâespecially retirement planning, family provision, and legacyâwhile challenging the assumption that piety must equate to poverty.
Josiah argues that wealth-building can and should align with biblical stewardship and that Christians are called to be faithful stewards who multiply their resources for Godâs glory and the good of future generations. Their discussion critiques both the prosperity gospel and the poverty gospel, emphasizing a balanced, exegetically rooted theology of money. Finally, Josiah emphasizes the importance of legacy planningâwills, trusts, insurance, and investmentsâas essential tools for sustaining ministry impact across generations.
Key Topics CoveredMisconceptions about wealth in missions (piety vs. poverty)Biblical foundations for wealth buildingDistinction between biblical stewardship and prosperity gospel teachingsThe moral imperative for Christians to build and steward wealth wiselyThe need for long-term financial planning including retirement and legacyWith over 3 billion people in the world who have never heard of Jesus, the global need is tremendous for workers to go into the harvest fields (Matthew 9:37-38).

Has modern evangelicalism forgotten about key aspects of who God is?
In this episode of The Missions Podcast, Alex and Scott welcome Dr. Peter Sammons, Associate Director of Academic Development at Founders Seminary, to discuss the "forgotten attributes" of Godâthose less-discussed incommunicable aspects of God's nature. Sammons argues that modern Christians tend to focus on God's relational and communicable attributes (like love and kindness) because they are easier to grasp and more emotionally resonant. Sammons stresses that a proper understanding of God's essence and metaphysical attributes is crucial for true worship and doctrinal precision.
The discussion also explores why understanding God's immutable nature is essential, especially in missions. Many pagan and world religions depict gods as moody and human-like, but the Christian God stands apart as wholly other, unaffected by human emotion or manipulation. This, Sammons emphasizes, highlights the necessity of theological depth for missionaries. Without it, missionaries risk portraying God as just another tribal deity.
Key PointsForgotten Attributes: Focus on God's immutability, impassibility, and aseity, which are often overshadowed by more "relatable" attributes.Essence of God: Importance of understanding God's essence versus merely his relational attributes.Modern Challenges: Cultural and intellectual laziness has led to theological illiteracy and avoidance of difficult doctrines.Missional Importance: Proper theological understanding is critical for distinguishing the Christian God from false deities in missions work.Training Solutions: Founders Seminary offers a Master of Arts in Cultural Apologetics and Missions to deepen theological literacy for missionaries, even remotely.Do you love The Missions Podcast?

Are we thinking about persecuted Christians incorrectly? What should our and the church's response be?
In this episode of The Missions Podcast, Alex and Scott talk with Andy Coleman, president of the Christian Emergency Alliance and author of the new book In Days of Darkness: A Manual for Ordinary Christians Facing Unusual Times. The discussion explores the realities of Christian persecution worldwide, especially in regions like Syria and Nigeria, and how Western believers should respond both spiritually and practically. Coleman, who has years of on-the-ground experience in conflict zones, offers a measured, informed perspective that resists both sensationalism and apathy.
Coleman emphasizes the need for âconnective tissueâ in the global Churchâawareness, prayer, and meaningful support between believers in safer contexts and those in peril. He discusses the nuanced and often hidden complexities of persecution, where violence is often localized, and government complicity or neglect plays a key role. The conversation also introduces his book, which seeks to equip everyday Christians to stand firm and act faithfully amid increasing pressures, both abroad and closer to home.

How can missionaries use the prevailing cultural narratives and longings of the heart to awaken others to the gospel without sacrificing the truth?
In this episode of The Missions Podcast, Alex and Scott continue their conversation with Dr. E.D. Burns, focusing on cultural apologetics and its application in missionary work. E.D. shares insights into different approaches to apologetics, including cultural, presuppositional, classical, and evidential apologetics. He emphasizes the importance of appealing to the imagination and âlongings of the soulâ to awaken a deeper interest in Christianity. Finally, E.D. details how the Celtic Sun Cross is a great historical perspective of cultural apologetics.
Key Points:
Distinctives of apologetic approachesThe importance of asking good questions to uncover worldview inconsistenciesThe universal longings of the soul for home, belonging, and truthHistorical examples of cultural apologetics with the celtic crossApplication of cultural apologetics for missionariesWhen was the last time your church did a missions conference, and how did it go?

How can missionaries and apologists connect the gospel to the longings of the human heartâwithout watering it down?
In this episode of The Missions Podcast, Alex Kocman and Scott Dunford sit down with Dr. E.D. Burnsâmissionary, author, and professorâto unpack the concept of cultural apologetics. Drawing from the legacy of C.S. Lewis, Dr. Burns explains how cultural apologetics appeals not merely to logic but to the imagination and desires of the soul.
He contrasts this approach with evidential, presuppositional, and classical apologetics, emphasizing how cultural apologetics helps us engage the heart without compromising biblical truth. Sharing stories from his years on the field in Thailand, Dr. Burns shows how this method resonates in honor-shame contexts and how missionaries can faithfully and compellingly contextualize the gospel message.
This conversation explores the importance of storytelling, the beauty of the gospel in every culture, and the role of imagination in helping others see the glory of Christ.
Key topics:
What sets cultural apologetics apartHow C.S. Lewis shaped modern apologeticsPractical strategies for contextualization in missionsWhy storytelling and beauty matter in gospel proclamationAvoiding syncretism while engaging the heartGod has already called many people to the mission field, but they need your support to get there.

In this week's episode of The Missions Podcast, Alex and Scott sit down with Dr. Joshua Howard to discuss how to handle theological conflict among Christians.

Who gets to call themselves a missionary, and why does it matter? In today's episode of The Missions Podcast, Alex and Scott sit down with Matthew Ellison and Denny Spitters to revisit the question, "who is a missionary?" There is still great confusion in the church about what the Great Commission is and the need to go to the lost and unreached. Does missions require crossing cultures? What is the biblical definition of missions? Whatâs the big deal if we say that every Christian is a missionary?
Matthew Ellison is president of 1615, an organization that helps churches clarify their global mission, develop mission strategies, and take steps toward that strategy. Denny Spitters is a Coach with 1615. Together, they are releasing the second edition of their book, "When Everything is Missions". They also host their own podcast, When Everything is Missions.
