<p>Today in our fourth and final part of our <a href="https://restitutio.org/tag/postmodernism-series/">series on postmodernism </a>Pastor Jacob Ballard explains four key guidelines for cross-cultural ministry.</p>



<ol><li>Always change the language, but never change the message</li><li>Exchange meta-narrative for personal narrative or community narrative</li><li>Exchange certainty for humility, clues, hints, and mysteries</li><li>Exchange absolutist morality for personal accountability and communal action</li></ol>

374 I’m Offended (Sean Finnegan)

Restitutio is a Christian theology podcast designed to get you thinking about biblical theology, church history, and apologetics in an effort to recover the original Christian faith of Jesus and the apostles apart from all of the later traditions that settled on it like so much sediment, obscuring and mutating primitive Christianity into dogma and ritual.  Pastor Sean Finnegan, the host of Restitutio, holds to a Berean approach to truth: that everyone should have an open mind, but check everything against the bible to see  how it measures up.  If you are looking for biblical unitarian resources, information about the kingdom of God, or teachings about conditional immortality, Restitutio is the Christian podcast for you!
