I’m really wanting to listen to this podcast but it won’t play. All the other podcasts I follow on Castbox are working. Is there something going on on yawls end?
This is seriously the best podcast. I've been trying to find fellow former missionaries who saw the bullshit like I did, and I couldn't find them! I have sooooo many things to talk about. Do you talk about "donations and support" vs. Actually being paid for a qualified job? Or youth missions encouraging people to come and not pay for their stay and say "it's ok if you have debt God wants you here" or making them pay thousands or tens of thousands of dollars to live somewhere and work without pay.. Omg seriously so much bullshit in this system. Good job for this podcast!!
