Global mission increasingly moves “from everywhere to everywhere.” What does it take to work well with partners across cultures, especially when resources and influence are uneven? Released June 30, 2026, The Barnabas Factor: How Crosscultural Partnership Amplifies Global Mission draws on Barnabas’s example and the experiences of contributors from around the world. Edited by Josh Irby, it could be a worthwhile read for sending churches, mission teams, and agency leaders seeking to build more generous, trusting partnerships. Check it out: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GP94RB7W?. Have you read it?
I thought it was really good — a reminder to post my review on Amazon. Rooted in Scripture but exegeted by Christian leaders from a wide variety of contexts who also share their experience with one or more of the themes they see the life of Barnabas.
For those who’d rather listen, you can catch Irby discussing core ideas and telling stories from the book on a number of podcasts around the time the book came out, and now many of the contributors are continuing the conversation on the MissionShift podcast.
