Joel and Claire discuss cultural differences between Latino and Anglo cultures regarding time, finances, and noise level in the home.

Joel and Claire Torres share the story of their relationship, discussing their differing expectations and how they built a strong foundation for their marriage.

The new cohost of Cross-Cultural Voices, Lebanese Canadian Robin Karkafi, shares how he moved beyond disillusionment with conflict in his childhood church to cultivate spiritual growth in a community of healthy believers.

Practical steps to become the kind of winsome Christian that can befriend those of any cultural background

Michelle shares insights with Kenny about dialogues regarding oppression, privilege, microaggressions, and more. This helps Kenny come to peace in relationships with others holding different views.

How multicultural churches with no sociopolitical agenda become welcoming places for people of all ethnicities.

Kenny asks Michelle how she came to peace with her ethnic minority identity, how she reacts when others aren't interested in her cultural heritage, and how to remain in awe of Christ amidst the pressures of daily life.

Centering whiteness, blackness, or racism leads to divisiveness and alienation. Focusing on Christ as the center creates an atmosphere where people of all races join together as one.
