EP 58: Beyond the Savior Complex in International Ministry | John McCollum

Let’s talk about what international ministry work looks like. Not the performative stuff. Not the savior complex. But the kind that actually honors God and the people you're called to serve.

In this episode, I sit down with John McCollum, Executive Director of Asia’s Hope, to talk about:
-His raw, personal journey with Jesus
-How Asia’s Hope is flipping the script on traditional ministry
-What it takes to build something lasting, ethical, and Christ-centered

This isn’t your typical feel-good ministry convo. It’s honest, challenging, and necessary. If you care about global ministry, justice, or walking in obedience—this one’s for you.

🎧 Hit play. Then let it change how you think about calling, impact, and faith that actually shows up.

📖 "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world" - James 1:27
