10. How to Contextualize Well (Part 2)

In the final episode of the season, Matt and Aaron examine the last three steps of contextualization: learn their perspective, speak truth, and be open to change. The good news of learning a new perspective is that the process can be fun. By hearing stories, watching movies and television, and building relationships with cultural informants, we can enjoy the journey of learning how others see the world. Then, after knowing our perspective and learning their perspective, we can begin to partner with locals to speak truth together. This is when contextualization happens best. ... “There’s culture happening all around you if you’re willing to watch, observe, and consume.” “God’s spirit lives in them just as much as He lives in you and He can work through them as much as He can work through you.” "In the long run, the local people will always do it better.” ...

09. How to Contextualize Well (Part 1)

As the season comes to a close, Matt and Aaron ask the final question, “How do we contextualize well?” Their answer is a five-step process, and this episode looks at the first two steps. Step One is to learn and grow in the discipline of contextualization, with Matt and Aaron sharing their favorite resources that they believe would be beneficial for those wanting to learn more. In Step Two, they discuss how a person wanting to contextualize must first examine themselves, learning the ways our understanding of faith is a product of contextualization that comes with its own strengths and weaknesses. ... “You need to see how the Christianity that you’ve understood and always practiced has been contextualized.” “Every culture has those blind spots, but sometimes we’re ignorant of our own and we’ve got to explore that.” "Be gentle and encouraging to others so that you can help lead others in that process later on.” ... Episode Highlights: ✨ Introduction to 5 steps on how to contextualize well (9:27) ✨ Step 1: Read - Do the Work and Learn (10:32) ✨ Step 2: Know your Perspective (31:40) ✨ Example of single perspective theology: the law (36:11) ✨ Challenges in examining your own bias (39:50) ✨ Conclusion - understanding Jesus’ heart & values (47:26) ...

08. An Interview with Dr. Scott Moreau

Dr. Scott Moreau, Dean of the Graduate School at Wheaton College, joins Matt and Aaron to discuss a variety of topics within the study of contextualization. Dr. Moreau is one of the world’s foremost voices on contextualization, having written numerous articles and books on the topic, as well as teaching courses on contextualization for decades in his time at Wheaton. His insight into the history of the topic, as well as the way in which it happens today both locally and globally, is an important piece of understanding how to contextualize well. ... “We tend to unconsciously find leaders who can act like us even when they’re not like us on the inside. The tendency is we reproduce ourselves through those we choose to become leaders in our own organizations.” “The Gospel is not naked. It comes in flesh in the language. It comes in flesh in rituals. It comes in flesh in stories we tell each other.” "You already are contextualizing. Become conscious of it.” ...
