What ideas about safety and risk would a well-meaning person have to say this? In a blog post titled "Fear and the myth of safety" David Hare lays out two points to discuss with someone who has an undeveloped theolgy of risk.

1. Safety is a Myth
2. Vague ideas lead to fear, not wisdom

Life involves risk. Missions involves risk. Jesus calls us to count the cost, which involves using wisdom. We should not naively, blindly rush into situations without taking actions to "mitigate" the risk (e.g. Driving is high risk, but since we put a high value on mobility, we mitigate the risk by wearing a seatbelt.)

Read Dave Hare's suggestions on three ways to mitigate risk in missions.

In Desiring God, John Piper exhorts us to remember the 'why' of suffering in this life. We will rise! This puts taking risks for the glory of God among all nations in proper perspective. The reward is so worth the risk of loss.

In this thought-provoking conversation, Mark Matlock, Executive Director of Urbana and Senior Fellow at Barna Group, unpacks what younger generations are really searching for and why many are not as concerned with “Is Christianity true?” but rather “Is it beautiful?”

From global missions trends to the church’s discipleship crisis, this episode explores the spiritual hunger shaping Gen Z, the future of missions mobilization, and what it will take for Christians to authentically reflect the transforming beauty of Jesus in a skeptical culture.

Mark Matlock joins Ted Esler and Matthew Ellison on the Mission Matters Podcast to discuss Gen Z, discipleship, and the future of global missions through the lens of decades of ministry experience and research.

Livingstone wrote back, “If you have men who will come only if they know there is a good road, I don’t want them. I want men who will come if there is no road at all.”
Livingstone disappeared into the interior of Africa and explored areas that no white man had ever explored. He once lost contact with the outside world for six years. Those on the home front urged he be cautious. “If we wait till we run no risk, the gospel will never be introduced into the interior,” he wrote back.
