The Repairing of Shalom. Today, hosts Mike Erre and Tim Stafford reflect on the intersection of faith and culture, particularly in relation to government actions that affect Christianity. The conversation shifts to the role of missions and evangelism, questioning traditional motivations and methods. Finally, they explore the concepts of sin and salvation, emphasizing the importance of community in embodying faith and justice.

To go deeper, Mike and Tim discuss the profound implications of the New Testament teachings on the communal aspects of sin and salvation, emphasizing the role of the Spirit in new creation. They explore how Jesus redefined community through his teachings and actions, highlighting the importance of justice and unity within the body of Christ. The conversation culminates in a reflection on the true nature of the gospel and its implications for missions work, advocating for a community-oriented approach to faith.
