关于这一集
Polyphonic: Mission After Empire is an 8-episode narrative podcast hosted by Imer Santiago and produced by Missio Nexus. If you've ever wondered whether "mission" and "empire" can be untangled—or if we've been pretending it's simpler than it is—this show is for you.
Imer brings his experience as a musician and teacher into conversations with historians, missiologists, practitioners, and everyday voices-tracing what we inherited, what we missed, and what we might need to admit before we can move forward. Music isn't background here—it's the glue, the metaphor, and sometimes the argument.
This isn't a definitive answer guide, because we probably won't get all the answers before Heaven. It's a place to start listening-polyphonic in the truest sense: many voices, each with its own melody, heard together.
