Very few people have heard the full story of Pastor Shane and his walk to Gethsemane. Parts of his story are difficult to hear, but perhaps that's because many people, including myself, can relate to his emotions, struggles, alcoholism, abuse, etc., and not in that order or of any relevance to some. Pastor Shane had so much to bear and so much weight to carry at a younger age that he wasn't sure what to do with the stresses of life and the consequences of others. As he grew up and moved to Idaho from California it was supposed to be a re-start. A new life. A difference.

Is there a disconnect between the Gospel and the life that you live? Listen carefully as Dr. James Runcorn visits with Pastor Shane.

Again, the purpose of Culture Crux is not to judge or demean the guest because of their experiences or beliefs. Culture Crux is an open discussion, and it's purpose is to share in prayer as the discussion unfolds. Parts of the discussion may be difficult to understand or listen to.

When you're engaged with others...hear their story, hear where they come from, and earnestly pray for the guidance of the Holy Spirit to assist you as you build your relationships.
