This episode, we dig into what the Great Commission actually says in Matthew 28, what "make disciples" meant to a first-century audience, and why the word translated "witness" in Acts 1 is the same word that gives us "martyr."
Along the way: costly signaling, the medieval shortcut of just converting the king, and why celebrity endorsements are doing far more conversion work than anyone at baggage carousel nine.
