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.

Leadership Initiative 1: Minding Ps & Qs over Dinner with EQ
New Wine Director Paul Louis Metzger interviews New Wine leader Tom Schiave on his New Wine leadership initiative on emotional intelligence (EQ). Tom is lead pastor at Gateway Church, Portland, Oregon, and affectionately known as "The Godfather." New Wine friends and colleagues are joining Tom and Paul to listen and ask questions. We have titled this gathering, "Minding Ps and Qs over Dinner with EQ." With the holidays upon us, people will be sitting across the table and socializing with family and friends who don't share their convictions on various important topics. How might we practice EQ and good listening skills to build relational bridges through Jesus in contemporary culture at Thanksgiving, Christmas, and throughout the coming year?
