Thanks for tuning in to this episode of the Sword and Trial. Today, Graham and I get to talk to a friend who is a cross-cultural worker for advancing the gospel in Southeast Asia.

Dr. Edie Burns has written three books for Founders Ministries and his most recent one, Seeds and Stars, tells about the vital connection between genuine spirituality and gospel service and what it

means to be justified by grace through faith and how that kindness of God and granting us Christ

enables us to live lives that pursue holiness and that's important not just for missionaries

that's important for every Christian.

Dr. Burns has recently, through some difficult providences, found himself with much of his

financial support month to month being cut. And again, it's through no fault of his own. It's just

God's providence and rearranges some institutions. And if you'd like to know more about him

or become a supporter, which I would encourage,

then you can check out the links that are at the bottom of this episode and get connected to him

or contact me directly.

I'll be happy to tell you more.
