Missional Renewal in the Age of Globalization – Rev. Dr. D. Elmo Familiaran
In this thought-provoking episode, I sit down with Elmo, Adjunct Faculty in the Doctor of Ministry in Contextual Leadership program at Palmer Theological Seminary, for a powerful conversation on mission in a globalized world.
Together, we explore how globalization is transforming the way we think about mission, evangelism, culture, race, and power. Elmo challenges us to imagine ministry that is both locally rooted and globally connected—calling the church to become a space of bridge-building and cultural interpretation.
We dive into the role of intersectionality in mission, unpacking how race, class, theology, and history shape the church’s public witness. Elmo’s insights will stretch your thinking on leadership and encourage you to engage today’s complexities with humility, courage, and missional clarity.
Whether you’re a pastor, leader, or simply passionate about the future of the church, this episode offers fresh vision for living out God’s call in a changing world.
