The gospel was never meant to silence culture, but to redeem it. Learn how contextual worship and indigenous art are helping every people group declare the glory of God in their own voice. In this episode, Jason Watson speaks with Heber Negrão—missionary, scholar, and global voice in ethnodoxology—about how the arts can serve the Church’s mission by connecting the gospel to the cultural heart of every people group.

📌 Main Points & Takeaways
A field of mission that empowers believers to worship and proclaim Christ using their own artistic and cultural expressions.
Imported worship styles often feel disconnected. Heber explains how contextualized worship allows communities to own their praise of God.
