For more than a century, the American church has been arguing about the exact scope and boundaries of God\\u2019s mission. Is the gospel narrowly about the redemption of people\\u2019s souls, or does it also care about redeeming the world, society, and broken systems? In other words, is justice part of God\\u2019s gospel mission? The way we answer that question has massive implications for what work we believe ultimately matters. This debate has torn the American church apart, but it\\u2019s not one shared by many of our sisters and brothers around the world where a holistic vision of God\\u2019s mission is just assumed rather than contested. Pastor Luis Luna from Honduras joins Skye Jethani to discuss why he doesn\\u2019t separate the care of people\\u2019s souls, from the care of their bodies, or the reformation of society. And how this holistic approach to mission sometimes creates problems when well-meaning American Christians bring their narrow definition of the gospel to Central America.
