Crossing the Cultural Divide
In a time of deep polarization, we at New Wine, New Wineskins explore how we can build relational bridges through Jesus across various cultural divides. Each episode of our podcast Crossing the Cultural Divide engages voices from diverse backgrounds to reflect on how the triune God’s love stretches us to cross boundaries, confront injustice, and embody faith and hope in a fractured world. Join us as we pursue truth and reconciliation through thoughtful dialogue and faithful presence in dependence on God's Spirit.
