125: What Christians Get Wrong About the Great Commission (with Harry Edwards)

Welcome to the Theology & Ethics podcast! In this episode, the KC team (and guest Harry Edwards) discuss global missions, how Christianity gets the Great Commission wrong, and the relationship between morality and customs.

Harry Edwards has a Masters in Christian Apologetics from Biola University, and is the founder of Apologetics.com. Through his apologetics and missions work, Harry is keen on pursuing and developing methods to help the church restore her preeminence as the source of truth, goodness and beauty locally and globally.
