I watched the documentary. I am a Puerto Rican Christian. This documentary was so one sided and clearly had Its own agenda to degrade Christian’s and missionary’s. It made no sense to me how this one x Christian and missionary ran the whole documentary. When you can clearly tell this man was burnt out by ministry. I think it’s funny how the “western world” continues to push that Christianity is a “western religion” and then leave out all of the orthodox Christians that aren’t white or from the west. All of the Christian’s around the world who are Christian. Multiple indigenous people who are Christian and don’t regret It. Of course they leave that out. Now do I feel there could have been a little more wisdom for that young man to go to the north sentinelese people. I feel like he could of gotten a little more creative with his approach. I hope and I pray he really was sent by the lord and he didn’t do this in his flesh. We will find out soon enough what the fruits of this situation will be. I know one fruit is I began to pray for the north sentinelese I pray other Christians will do the same.

I wonder if women missionaries went to the Island if they would be accepted? Like with the End of the Spear. Women are not seen as a threat.

Gotta go to North Pole… to find elves…

The arrogance these folks… Even Xenu would have puked.

It's global because colonizers destroyed the culture that was already in non Christian countries, destroyed temples to create churches. I have no sympathy for people trying to impose a believe in already formed cultures a who are ALLOWED to have different belief systems.

Christianity and your cult killed this man who ended up being justifiably murdered by this tribe who have no need to be "converted" to some cult group like Mary's group. She has blood on her hands.

Such an important conversation. Thank you to both of you for being wiling to highlight this.

The worst thing I heard a Christian say today is Christians are too tolerant. Tolerance will end Christianity.

You are not the victims, no one thinks you are "white supremacist" or whatever persecution you want to claim. We worry about you poisoning cultures and peoples, physically and mentally. Cut it out. If Jesus is as full of love as you say, he will let these people in.

We dont need to see the results...its Gods timing...and its God will...like in the case of the Aucas....just because you dont see anything happening doesn't mean God isn't at work...ultimately it is not about the world to see what happened its about the people coming to know Christ eventually

John Chau convinced himself that God had personally called him to "save" the Sentinelese. Sadly, the voice he told himself was God was actually just the voice of his own ego.

In response to Dr. Ho's comment that Christianity is a "global faith," yes, that is true. However, Christianity didn't arrive in Taiwan until the 16th century C.E. So the Christianity that came to Taiwan had already been filtered through a Western cultural lens for the preceding 1,500 years.

What I find ironic is the western atheistic world who believes morality is arbitrary and relative,subjective to accuse John of being immoral and unethical. Atheists want to live as if morals exist contrary to the nature of a reality they claim to believe in. Morality being objective, universal is the only thing that makes sense which of course points to a arbiter of morality who is God.

He went illegally on the island, bribed fishermen which is illegal. That alone does not glorify God's Name at all. He set under false teachings & clearly did not understand the Sovereignty of God, thinking that without him God would never reach those people. And how in the world was he gonna proclaim Jesus to them if he didn't speak the language?! Now these people even more unreachable. Guy died for absolutely nothing but his pride thinking he's gonna be the one to reach those people, become famous. Whoever is teaching that Jesus has not returned yet because not every single tribe has been reached is teaching false stuff & John believed that false stuff. Clearly, studying the Bible was not his priority. Actually, finishing ORU says it all, flse teachings & nothing more. He didn't glorify God's Name nor did he make any progress in reaching those people. I'd even question his salvation considering him going so far as to illegally go to that Island & bribing people who ended up in prison because of him after that trip.

This young man seemed to me to be obsessed about being the saviour of a people who wished to remain in their way of life without the interruption from the outside world. He deliberately broke the law by going to the island he knew he wasn't allowed there but his ego and his belief that he could break through the language barrier because he had God on his side. The people on Sentinel didn't want him there, his arrogance and self-entitlement took him there, not his god, regardless of all his consultation and research, he tried to invade a people who didn't want him there and he paid the price. Many people, apart from his family and church, will remember him as that fool who thought he could Christianise a tribe who have their own life and choose to live it their way.

@bobstrauss9413 3 hours ago John Chau was not a martyr but an obsessed fanatic who valued his obsession more than life. His life was wasted on that island and he knew it would be that way. Perhaps he had a death wish. Those people just want to be left alone. John's life could have been better spent ministering to people in prisons or inner cities. He could have taken at risk kids on nature hikes. But no , he deliberately chose death over life. His death was more like a suicide.

Jesus Christ couldn't save himself he couldn't save John Chou... These missionaries preach Jesus is the saviour. LOL 😂😂😂

I just watched this movie and was drawn to finding out more about John, and i found this video. I am so glad you guys touched on these themes throughout the movie documentary because I feel as though there really has been a huge attack on Christians and our faith, and National Geographic/Disney is leading it on in disapproval.

~RELIGION is BULLSHIT. There are NO GODS.I am sure he was a Good Guy, but CHRIST PSYCHOTIC!

Worst criminals are the missionaries

He was told not go and why. I have no sympathy, his savior complex got him kill3d. Leave people tf alone, especially uncontacted tribes that don’t want outsiders.

I came across this channel because of the John Chau's story, and it's been a blessing. Please keep doing it!

Wow 😭 thank you for this inspiring video. May God bless you!!! 🙌

23:37 I'm actually offended at the blatant disrespect for the Ancient Greek sky father god Zeus in this video. 🤷🏾‍♂️

These suspected white Supremacists just cant get through there brains that nun white people don't want to be colonized!

Thank you for this podcast, there was so many misinformation about His story. May the Love of Jesus overwhelm all the people that are speaking bad about Him and about missions, may their eyes be open to see that everything they are longing for it's just found in Jesus ❤

White supremacy? She is asian? You do know that japan sided with the nazis during ww2. They were called honorary aryans. Asians are racist in america.

What places did you missionaries convert, that did not get colonized?

Missionary mistakes. Bad actors😂😂😂

"False narratives"? A "study"?!? A "study" from whom? A "study" produced by whom? When have y'all ever *not* colonized people y'all have encountered? Please name a people y'all didn't colonize, persecute, pillage, oppress and violently subjugate when you all came into contact with them or in some way interact with? Please name the people you didn't colonize and didn't proliferate white hegemony and imperialism? Some missionaries have made "mistakes"? Been "bad actors"? Oh you mean like the British Empire, the Spanish Empire, the French, the Portuguese, the Dutch, the Germans, the United States? You people have consistently used missionaries to build global empires of exploitation, theft, murder and violent systematic subjugation for over half a millennium. All these empires were built on missionaries who were then followed by the merchants and then followed by the armies & navies who turned them into 3rd world countries! You people used/use Christian missionaries to build demonic satanic global empires! We have over 500 years of proof! From the Western Hemisphere to Africa to Asia to Oceania. The history of the world for 500 plus years up to our present world is the proof! Using "civilization" e.g. healthcare and technological advances as a argument for missionaries is the very same argument that the colonizers have always used as a poison pill. You people have no interest whatsoever in helping indigenous people. Having an Asian woman say white supremacy is obsolete and colonization was a "mistake" is profoundly absurd and insulting. White supremacy/white pathology, colonization and its omnicidal objectives was/is deliberate and it is still ruling and ruining the world.

Very disingenuous. What false native? It's the truth and we have historical data to back it up. White Christians are colonizers in the cloak of religion. Who did this extensive study? lol, all lies! You come in with religion, then you send the traders, and then bam the military. Next thing you know you have resorts on that island with people working for scraps for the very white people that colonizers-built resorts. John had no business there. It was illegal to go there, it was a crime, these people have been doing fine for centuries on their own, and he got what came to him. And I have no sympathy for him, his, family and friends. Trying to make this guy out to be a hero is devil work.

Which society that yall brought Christianity (beat Christianity into them and destroyed their original culture). But which one hasn’t actually been colonized.

I am a Christian living in London UK. Even though the documentary has some mistakes in it i really like it. I really happy with the churches/evanlegical world obsession with the great commission is being challenged. Most churches in the UK teaches you how to he a 'good Christian 'and being an evangelist. But hardly any preaching on our own repentance or walk with Christ. Time for this mindset to be challenge.

Your lyyyinngggg

Thank you for this conversation. Much needed.

This is another great video in many ways.

Thank God for videos like this in so many ways. Again and again, there are many myths and misconceptions about many things including the history of Christianity, especially the history of Christian missionary work.

Thanks for this interview.

Thank you for keeping us on this important topic and bringing in modern thinking to help us critique previous thinking. Even so, I think "people group" focus is biblically sound.

What a great discussion. Thanks, guys. Now I’m also feeling the urge to go shop for foot-pedals. Never saw that coming.

"PromoSM"

😒 ≋p≋r≋o≋m≋o≋s≋m

Please pray for the launch of Perspectives in France and the French-speaking world! On process!!

This show was fascinating. And so helpful as a way to answer so many non-Christians in their anti-colonialism arguments about Christian missions. Thank you.

This is a very inspirational video!

Matthew - curious where in West Africa your short-term trip was (I lived in Côte-d'Ivoire for a couple of years and have a heart for the region). Also, this video was fantastic!

I have been doing missions in my country for years but I want to go cross cultural boundaries

I recently read the book Facing Danger - A Guide *through* Risk (by Anna E. Hampton). As one who served in Afghanistan for many years with a young family, she has many apropos things to say on the topic and makes some helpful distinctions between the theology of suffering and the theology of risk.

Amen to your prayers. They suffer too well that the enemy would notice

Luke 5 Jesus tells Simon Peter to cast his nets at deep water. This means today christians are to take risk (deep water).
