REPLAY: What the Church in Haiti Taught Me About Church in America • S3E11

What does the global church have to teach the American church? Probably more than we'd like to admit.

In this episode, Jason sits down with Paul Parisian, director of Mission Haiti, for a conversation that starts with Paul's story — growing up in Haiti, losing family in the 2010 earthquake, finding his way back to faith — and opens up into something much bigger. They dig into the role of voodoo and syncretism in Haitian church culture, the gang violence that forced Mission Haiti to shut down operations and flee, and what it looks like to rebuild.

But the most convicting part of this conversation is the mirror Paul holds up to the American church. The obsession with time. The isolation. The vices we've made peace with. The way we give God an hour a week and call it enough.

Paul isn't pointing fingers. He's got a foot in both worlds — and a lot of love for both.
