Podcasts about multiethnic

Welcome back and happy 2025! The In Between is back with a series of conversations about what MLK Jr called the beloved community... this dream of unity marked by kingdom multi-ethnicity, diversity, and a deep orientation to the truth of the Imago Dei - that each human is made in the image of God from the very first moments a new life is forming in the womb.Okay. Poetic language and lofty imagery aside, becoming a community like this IS HARD work, IRL (In Real Life). Multiethnic community comes as a grace, as well as with a cost. We're all made in the image of God, yes - but we all also have really different layers that make up who we are. We all are part of His kingdom, yes - but we all have really different cultures and ways of being and norms. We all have value, and we're all sisters and brothers in Christ, yes - but we often find it easier to hang out in our silos or bubbles with folks just like us.In this episode about being a part of a multiethnic community, Julia hosts a dialogue with Pastor Adrienne Ash, Pastor Daniel Hernandez, and Mailin Young, VC Head of Staff. Listen in to a frank and beautiful conversation about the layers we all have, what it feels like to walk into a room when you're not sure how you fit, the difference between cultural hospitality and code-switching, and sooooooooo much more. Enjoy!

At Redeemer, our pathway is how we seek to embody our vision and mission, or in other words, put it into practice. We desire every person to enter into intentional apprenticeship to Jesus, to be in a diverse, loving community, and to live in Wichita as witnesses. “The Church exists for nothing else but to draw men and women into Christ, to make them little Christs. If they are not doing that, all the cathedrals, clergy, missions, sermons, even the Bible itself, are simply a waste of time. God became man for no other purpose.” – CS Lewis At Redeemer, we take seriously Jesus' call to “Go and make disciples of all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” Apprenticeship to Jesus is not a one time decision, but a lifelong journey of following Jesus as our master-teacher. Since the goal of the Christian life is maturity in Jesus, apprenticeship must be deep and holistic, transforming the spiritual, physical, emotional, social, and vocational parts of men and women. Apprenticeship to Jesus is learning to practice the way of Jesus in our homes, relationships, neighborhoods, and jobs. We believe Christlikeness is cultivated as we implement spiritual practices, live in community with other believers, and submit to the Word and the Spirit. We agree with Dallas Willard who said, “that the gospel is opposed to earning, not effort.” As we move towards cultivating a life of loving God and people, we trust Christ will mature us into his likeness. https://redeemerwichita.church/

David sat down with friend, Radford University student, college ministry leader, and youth ministry leader, Ethan Bishop, to talk about growing up in a small town lacking diversity, yet ending up living in a thriving multi-ethnic community as an adult in the same town years later.

According to John's vision in Revelation 7:9, heaven will be filled with people who are still recognized by their ethnicity (every nation, tribe, people, and language). So, if we want the church here and now to reflect that, Sunday mornings must stop being the most segregated time of the week.That's the premise of Karl Vaters' conversation with Jamaal Williams and Timothy Paul Jones, the co-authors of In Church as It Is in Heaven: Cultivating a Multiethnic Kingdom Culture, which Karl named as one of his best nonfiction books of the year for 2024.Jamaal and Timothy focus on what we can do to create a more kingdom-minded approach to ethnic diversity, while acknowledging that ethnic diversity is not the point of the church, but a byproduct of the gospel message.Links:In Church as It Is in Heaven: Cultivating a Multiethnic Kingdom Culture Bonus video3 Steps to Move Your Church Toward Multiethnic Generosity, with Jamaal Williams and Timothy Paul JonesOne of the habits (liturgies) that Jamaal Williams and Timothy Paul Jones suggest in their book, In Church as It Is in Heaven: Cultivating a Multiethnic Kingdom Culture, is to help your church move toward multiethnic generosity.Karl Vaters talks with them as they suggest a simple plan to visit a faithful, gospel-driven church outside your own ethnicity or culture once every three months.

In this episode, I was joined by Dr. Janette H. Ok, a leading New Testament scholar, to discuss her contribution as editor and commentator in the groundbreaking commentary, "The New Testament in Color." Dr. Ok shares the inspiration behind this project and reflects on how her own cultural background has shaped her approach to Scripture. We explore what "in color" signifies—not just diversity, but also interpretive depth and theological nuance—and how this approach can challenge traditional readings of the New Testament. Janette H. Ok is associate professor of New Testament at Fuller Theological Seminary. She is the author of Constructing Ethnic Identity in 1 Peter (T and T Clark). She is currently writing a commentary on the Letters of John (NICNT, Eerdmans) and To Be and Be Seen, coauthored with Jordan J.

Discover how God will protect, purify, and provide for His faithful followers. Learn about the incredible seal of God, the great tribulation, and the ultimate victory of the Lamb.

In this powerful sermon, Pastor Mark explores God's eternal plan for the multiethnic church, challenging believers to embrace diversity and create a taste of heaven on earth. Drawing from personal experiences and biblical foundations, he presents a compelling case for why the multiethnic church is not just a modern trend, but God's heart from the beginning.The message begins with Pastor Mark sharing his journey from a small, predominantly white town in Wisconsin to serving on an international mission team in England. This experience gave him a taste of Revelation 7:9-10, where people from every nation, tribe, and language worship God together.Pastor Mark then presents eye-opening statistics about changing demographics in the United States:By 2045, there will be no ethnic majority in the U.S.For those under 18, this is already a realityThe Hispanic population is expected to grow from 18% to 25% by 2045The multiracial population increased by 276% between 2010 and 2020These changes present both challenges and opportunities for the church. Pastor Mark argues that embracing diversity is not just about keeping up with cultural trends, but about aligning with God's eternal plan.The sermon focuses on three key questions:1. Are you theologically convinced that God's heart has always been for the multiethnic church?Pastor Mark takes listeners on a journey through Scripture, from Genesis to Revelation, showing God's consistent plan for diversity. He emphasizes Ephesians 3:6, 10-11, which describes God's purpose to use the church to display His wisdom in its rich variety.2. How much of what we practice is cultural and not gospel?This question challenges listeners to examine their church practices and personal preferences. Pastor Mark encourages discernment between cultural practices and gospel truths, emphasizing the importance of welcoming diverse expressions of faith while staying focused on Jesus.3. Are we willing to give up our preferences and humbly learn from those who are not like us for the sake of the kingdom of God?Drawing from Philippians 2:3-11, Pastor Mark emphasizes the importance of humility in embracing diversity. He encourages listeners to follow Jesus' example of giving up privileges for the sake of others.Throughout the sermon, Pastor Mark weaves in personal anecdotes, biblical examples, and practical applications. He challenges the church to:Study the Bible's teaching on diversityExamine cultural preferencesBuild relationships across cultural linesCelebrate diversity in the church and communityBe willing to give up preferences for the sake of others and the gospelPray for unity and diversity in the body of ChristThe message concludes with an inspiring vision of the church as a reflection of heaven's diversity, united in Christ. Pastor Mark encourages listeners to take steps towards embracing and celebrating diversity in their churches and communities.This sermon is essential listening for anyone seeking to understand God's heart for the multiethnic church and how to practically live out this vision in today's changing world. It challenges comfortable cultural Christianity while inspiring a biblical vision for unity in diversity.

When the title “Chrsitian” is used today, what associations are often made?

From the beginning, God's plan was to redeem a multiethnic people from every nation, tribe, and tongue. This is at the heart of the Gospel and the eternal purpose of God. Because the Gospel announces and creates this kind of reconciled community, we must actively live at peace with one another.

On 1 January 2006, soldiers from across Bosnia and Herzegovina gathered to mark the official formation of a unified army; and yet, little over a decade before, these men had been each other's adversaries during the vicious conflict which left the Balkan state divided and impoverished. Building a Multi-Ethnic Military in Post-Yugoslav Bosnia and Herzegovina (Bloomsbury, 2022) by Dr. Elliot Short offers the first analysis of the armed forces during times of peace-building in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This sophisticated study assesses Yugoslav efforts to build a multi-ethnic military during the socialist period, charts the developments of the armies that fought in the war, and offers a detailed account of the post-war international initiatives that led to the creation of the Armed Forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina. At this point, the military became the largest multi-ethnic institution in the country and was regarded as a model for the rest of Bosnian society to follow. As such, as Elliot Short adroitly contends, this multi-ethnic army became the most significant act in stabilising the country since the end of the Bosnian War. Drawing upon a wealth of primary sources – including interviews with leading diplomats and archival documents made available in English for the first time – this book explores the social and political role of the Bosnian military and in doing so provides fresh insight into the Yugoslav Wars, statehood and national identity, and peace-building in modern European history. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose forthcoming book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.
