Ever found yourself confused by cultural “rules” you didn’t even know you were breaking? Wondering why some of your most sincere efforts aren’t landing the way you hoped? And how do you build real connection when it feels like you're speaking a different language—even when you're technically not?
In this perspective-shifting episode, we talk with Dr. Linda Saunders—a former missionary, scholar, and cross-cultural mentor. Together, we explore how cultural dynamics affect everything—from your relationships to your gospel witness—and why many of us need a refresher once we’re actually on the field. (Spoiler: It’s like reading a parenting book after having kids—it just hits different.)
