Scroll most church websites or social media feeds and you’ll find one thing consistently: everyone looks the same. In a world full of so many different cultures, races and types of people, why does church feel like it’s the most segregated? We believe Jesus called his church to be diverse and multiethnic, and we have scripture to back it up.

Welcome back to the unSeminary podcast. I'm excited to be talking with Mark DeYmaz, who planted Mosaic Church in Arkansas and is co-founder of Mosaix Global Network. We're nearly a quarter of our way through the 21st century and yet some churches are still operating on models from the 1960s. In spite of good intentions […]

Mark DeYmaz, founder of Mosaix Church and the Mosaix Global Network, passionately articulates how the multi-ethnic church is the visible sign of the Gospel. In this wide-ranging conversation, Mark shares the origin story of Mosaix Church and his conviction that “if a people group or an individual is missing, then we're actually missing part of the beauty of what God is revealing.” From a gripping football metaphor to scriptural analysis and an in-depth reflection about the economic and demographic challenges for churches today, this fast-moving, hopeful, and challenging conversation is not to be missed! Quotations“Formation isn't a Christian idea. It's a human one. All of us are always being formed.” (1:14)“In the New Testament, men and women, Jews and Gentiles, rich and poor all walk, work and worship God together as one, in local churches.” (11:59)“If the Kingdom of Heaven is not segregated, why on earth is the church?”(14:12)“We live in a Matthew 5:16 century” (19:49)“Jesus didn't say let them hear your good words. He said let them see your good works.” (19:50)“In the 21st century you have to get people comfortable living with tension.” (35:01)"So it's not about size, it's about influence. The greater diversity, the greater your influence, comfort versus tension in the 20th century. You make people feel comfortable at church in the 21st. You gotta get people comfortable with tension, right? Because that's where the unity is. And the, the, the picture of that to me is Jesus with his arms outstretched dying on the cross, lifted up to draw all people himself."“We are called to be ministers of reconciliation and ambassadors of peace.” (41:45)“We have to stand on our faith, our stewardship, our love, and just go for it.” (43:28)We Discuss:The complicated relationship between what's happening in the church today and the role of formation (2:35)We have to consistently ask who we are seeking to become and what is asked of us. (3:24)If we are not intentional about how we are formed, we will default to being formed by the influences around us. (4:08)Starting and growing Mosaic Church following a New Testament model (9:00)Mosaic Church functions like a football team – different teams all working together to meet the particular challenges of its congregation (16:35)How Mosaic Church blends spiritual, nonprofit and for-profit strategies to thrive (19:11)The credit that Mosaic Church gets is to the glory of God (20:51)Their drive to advance the cause of Christ by meeting the needs of their community led them to innovate their business model (23:30)Metrics for the church in the 21st century (30:17)We have to show pastors how to stop just managing decline (31:14)In the 21st century the key purpose of the church is to help people get comfortable living in tension (35:01)Regardless of the challenges, and emboldened by the Gospel, we have to act out of faith and optimism (43:28)About Mark DeYmazMark DeYmaz is a thought-leading writer and recognized champion of the Multi-Ethnic Church Movement.

Pursuing racial justice doesn't get us into the Kingdom, but it demonstrates that the Kingdom is in us. Sermon Notes, Resources, Discussion Qs To act justly is to do what is right in God's eyes. Isaiah 1:17 - “Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow.” Micah 6:8 “And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” (Micah 6:8) The ARC of Justice Awareness Relationships Commitment -- Resources (Awareness) Video The book (and movie) Just Mercy provides an excellent, sobering example of what so many people of color have experienced. Parents should watch it first before deciding if their younger children should watch it. The short videos produced by Phil Vischer (former Veggie Tales guy) are fantastic. Start here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGUwcs9qJXY Books to get you started: o Under Our Skin: Getting Real about Race. Getting Free from the Fears and Frustrations that Divide Us by Benjamin Watson o Woke Church by Eric Mason (lots of solid Biblical teaching) o Let Justice Roll Down by Dr. John Perkins (named by Christianity Today as one of the top fifty books that have shaped evangelicals). o Be the Bridge by LaTasha Morrison o How to Fight Racism by Jemar Tisby (very practical) o One Blood by Dr. John Perkins Books that are good but a little more challenging for different reasons: o Intensional: Kingdom Ethnicity in a Divided World by DA Horton o The Color of Compromise: The Truth about the American Church's Complicity in Racism by Jemar Tisby o Reconciliation Blues: A Black Evangelical's Inside View of White Christianity by Edward Gilbreath. o Building a Healthy Multi-ethnic Church by Mark DeYmaz (especially helpful for church leaders – HP leaders read it a few years ago). o A Different Mirror: A History of Multicultural America by Ronald Takaki (helpful for those who've never considered the plight of minority groups in America – not from a Christian worldview). o Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stoe. (It changed the hearts of millions. It might change yours too.) Social Media Whom you follow on social media will often frame the way you see issues. I think it's way more influential than we probably realize. I'd encourage you to follow Benjamin Watson, Rich Villodas, Jemar Tisby, Austin Channing Brown, Sean Palmer, Lecrae, Matthew Soerens, Jenny Yang, Justin Gibbony, Latasha Morrison, and Carlos Whittaker. Podcasts o Footnotes, Jemar Tisby o Jude 3 Project (theology podcast led by Lisa Fields) o The New Activist Podcast (by International Justice Mission) has excellent guests and topics related to justice issues. o Tony Evans o The Church Politics Podcast helps Christians see political issues through the eyes of Christ. o Be The Bridge, Latasha Morrison Discussion Questions When did I start becoming aware of and learning about matters of race? Have I had a negative experience associated with my racial identity or has my family or a friend? What was it? Why is pursuing racial justice important? How have you grown in your compassion towards others? (For those wanting to dig deeper) How might the ARC template work in the following areas (pick a few): -Orphan/Foster Care -Caring for widows -Race -Poverty -Immigration -Crisis Pregnancies -Grief -Mental Health Illness How do we see the ARC being demonstrated in: -John 4 -Zacchaeus -Peter, Cornelius, and the Jerusalem Council

Mark DeYmaz is the leader of the largest organizations for training and equipping multiethnic church plants. In this episode of the Field Preachers podcast, he'll share his journey and talk about the resources that Mosaix has to offer. In March of 1739, John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, engaged in "field preaching" for the first time after being encouraged by his friend and fellow preacher George Whitefield. Instead of preaching his sermon from a pulpit, Wesley went out from the church and preached in the open air to those who didn't have the time or money to sit in a pew and hear the good news. Thousands of people, mainly those struggling with poverty, came to hear him preach that first week and the revival of Methodism was born as the good news became real in the hearts of those who heard about God's love and grace. Church planters are modern day "field preachers" who go out from the established church into the community where they proclaim good news to those who need it most. This podcast is a series of interviews and stories from modern-day Methodist field preachers who will make you laugh, cry, and think more deeply about how and where we are called to share God's love and grace.

This week we heard from Jason Moore and Mark DeYmaz and learned a lot about online worship, entrepreneurial church planting, and the importance of multi-ethnic faith communities. Listen in to hear some of the main takeaways from the session from host Rachel Gilmore.

Bonus Episode - What does it look like for white Christians to be allies in the battle against systemic injustice and racism? How can Christians champion the cause from a humble, listening posture? What does it look like to pursue reconciliation as a lifestyle? We interview Matt McGue to discuss these questions. He's the director of church planting and founding/campus pastor at Cumberland Community Church’s new Douglasville (Atlanta), GA, campus, a multiethnic church plant. In 2004, Matt planted a multiethnic church in Charlotte, NC. Following that, God called him to plant another diverse, gospel-centered, difference-making church; this time in the Deep South. In both cases, Matt partnered with Stadia; and in 2014, One Church was launched in Jackson, MS. He’s been coached by Mark DeYmaz and mentored by Dr. John Perkins, founder of the Christian Community Development Association (CCDA), author, civil rights veteran, and international authority on diversity and reconciliation.

The death of George Floyd has sparked a nationwide conversation about racism. As our fellow citizens talk about how to reform public policy, it’s also important for the Church to look inward and see how we can better embody the truth of Galatians 3:28: “There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” In this episode of the Influence Podcast, I’m talking to Mark DeYmaz about how the multiethnic church offers a solution to the problem of racism. I’m George P. Wood, executive editor of Influence magazine and your host. One of the architects of the contemporary multiethnic church movement, Mark DeYmaz is the cofounder, CEO, and president of Mosaix, “a relational network of pastors and planters, denominational and network leaders, educators, authors, and researchers alike, that exists to establish healthy multiethnic and economically diverse churches for the sake of the gospel throughout North America and beyond.” This October, Fortress Press will release a new version of his classic book, Building a Healthy Multi-Ethnic Church. ----- This episode of the Influence Podcast is brought to you by My Healthy Church, distributors of Radiant Life Sunday School curriculum.  As a leader, it can be frustrating when you don't have the tools your teachers need to engage students in the Bible.

In light of the murder of George Floyd - Minneapolis, Ahmaud Arbery - South Georgia, Breonna Taylor- Kentucky, the Mother Emmanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church massacre - Charleston SC.  The protest, the riots and the list goes on and on. As difficult as it has become, as Christians we must speak truth about race, racism in America, and how the Church can no longer be silent, sit on the sidelines, believe that there is not  a problem, that it is not my problem, I didn’t cause this problem etc… As people of God, each of us has a mandate on our lives by God. Matthew 25:31-46 reminds us all, "The son of man will judge the nations. Each person individually, and collectively will have to answer to our response to the clarion call.

In this weeks episode, I chat with Rev. Dr. Mark DeYmaz about the struggles of maintaining non-profits like churches on giving alone, and how through the power of disrupting economic norms we can launch a grassroots revolution of justice.  (Please forgive audio glitches this week- there was an issue in the recording process.)

We don't always think of social justice and economic transformation when we think of the gospel. But Mark DeYmaz argues that to ignore or refuse to engage in these things would, in fact, be undermining the gospel.
