In multi-cultural America, there are numerous worldviews and cultures all around us. This presents many challenges for Christians who genuinely want to reach their neighbors and co-workers for Christ. How can local churches reach "the nations" right next door? Calvary's Joshua Paxton explores this issue with Dr. Mark Hedinger, Executive Director of CultureBound, which exists to train Christians for life and work in an unfamiliar culture, and how to view your neighbors in a different and positive way.

What if a right understanding of the distinctions within humanity is found in looking closely at the nature of God — specifically, the fact that He has revealed Himself as "triune" (three in one). "One of the arguments leveled against Dispensationalism is that it divides the people of God, which we cannot do because there is one God, one salvation, one Savior. But then if we recognize that there's distinctions in the one God, why can't there be distinctions in the one humanity?" said Adrian Isaacs, Professor of Dispensational Theology at Canada Christian College in Toronto, in this week's Calvary Conversation with Calvary's Dr. Mike Dodds.

America is divided on many issues including the “refugee crisis.” The real question is: How should we as Christians respond to this global crisis when it comes into our own cities, towns and villages? Shaun LePage discusses the issue with Rich Casebolt, founder of RefugeKC which "exists to welcome refugees as our new-American neighbors with Gospel-focused ministries of mercy so they might know, love and follow Jesus into His Kingdom."

All who seek to serve Christ will need to serve people from a different culture at various times and in various ways which presents many challenges. Tim Hange draws on many years of cross-cultural leadership to provide illustrations and advice for all who seek to lead and serve well.

How can Christians creatively and positively respond to the refugees in our midst? Celeste Williams explains that Global FC was formed during a time of protesting around the resettlement of refugees in the US, using soccer to connect with kids and make a positive impact on their lives and their families.
