What does it mean for churches to become truly cross-cultural?
In this episode, Jason Roach is joined by Usha Reifsnider and David Wise to explore how God’s Spirit breaks down barriers of language, ethnicity, class and culture.
Drawing on Acts, Revelation and years of church leadership experience, they discuss how hospitality, humility, curiosity and patient relationship-building can help communities welcome, disciple and empower people from every background.
From food and small acts of kindness to Greenford Baptist’s journey as a “tapestry” of cultures, this conversation invites churches to reflect God’s diverse kingdom and make space for all to be fully seen in Christ.
