0:00.0	Hello, friends. Welcome back to another episode of Theology in the Ram. My guest today is Dr.
0:03.9	Brad Vaughan, formerly called Jackson Wu. He does explain why he went by that pen name for a
0:09.5	couple of decades. We get into that towards the middle, middle end of the podcast. Brad has a Ph.D.
0:15.8	and applied theology from South Eastern Baptist Theological Seminary, earned his M.D.
0:20.1	from Gordon Conwell Seminary and M.A. and Philosophy from Texas A&M. He's the author of a few books
0:25.9	saving God's face, reading Romans with Easter Nies, seeking God's face and the cross in context,
0:31.6	and Brad has become kind of an expert in understanding honor, shame cultures and how that influences

1:32.3	that as a compliment. Yeah, we could both be it. We could both be idiots.
1:38.9	So you were a minister. Do you like to term missionary? I just had a conversation with another guy
1:44.3	who says, I think we need to determine missionary, but you were, it's fine. I'm because I'm less
1:50.0	American than I used to be. I don't, I'm not into some of the word police thing that I'm seeing
1:54.0	in American culture. So yeah, I'm a cross-cultural worker missionary, whatever. Okay, cross-cultural
1:58.7	work. I like that a lot better. So you were a cross-cultural worker in China for how long? A
