Show Notes Chapter Markers

We talk a lot about partnership at Baptist Mission Australia, but what does it really mean? What makes a healthy ministry partnership? Why is working together sometimes so hard? And is true, equal partnership across cultures even possible?

In this episode, Nathan, Suzanne and Marbz explore these questions and more. Suzanne is preparing to head to the Silk Road Area, joining our intercultural team. And Marbz works at the Baptist Churches of NSW & ACT and has many years experience partnering with community development projects and other organisations. 

It's a thought provoking conversations that tackles the way power dynamics play out in a partnership and impact outcomes, as well as what true empowerment looks like.

Suzanne and Marbz also explore what they take away from Paul's letter in Philippians 1:3-6.
