How can we change culture without being changed by culture? In our new book, “Joyful Outsiders,” we explore this question and share six ways that Christians are called to navigate and transform the world around them. In today’s episode, we’re focusing on the trainer, or someone who changes the world by discipling others, changing habits, and introducing people to the Bible and prayer. Dirk Smith, VP of Eastern European Mission, joins Patrick to provide one such example. Through EEM, Dirk is taking Bibles and Bible-based materials into 30+ countries in over 20 languages. Hear Dirk share a specific example from Ukraine, where he helped place Bibles in over three-fourths of their public schools and has seen measurable impacts on their society as a whole. Plus, what are some lessons that the Church needs to learn from trainers? What would he say to churches that are tempted to be fixated on politics over evangelism? Listen now!

Are you a trainer too? Or maybe you’re an artist, protester, builder, advisor, or ambassador? Find out by taking our quick quiz now: https://hubs.li/Q034ztC30

Note: This episode is from our previous podcast, Truth Over Tribe. We’ve kept a few of these conversations on our feed because they're worth revisiting, but the tone and focus have shifted from what we’re doing now on Not Just Sunday. For new episodes focused on how Christians can live out a full-time faith, check out Not Just Sunday, right here on the same feed.
