Our conversation with all these leaders centers on the reality that though the center of gravity of Christianity has shifted out of the west, the center of power has not. What does that mean for engaging together in God\u2019s global mission?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This episode&#8217;s name comes from a talk Dr. Lazarus Phiri gave at Missio Nexus&#8217; Innovate 2021 Conference.
