Welcome everyone, to the fourth season of Transforming Culture. With a few thousand downloads and a whole bunch of amazing conversations, it's so cool to be back for another season of discussion and learning - we're glad you're here! Each summer, we invite our Bible Teacher of the week to share a talk on Tuesday nights about how we can engage faithfully as disciple of Jesus in the modern culture in which we're place. Our summer theme in 2025 was "Prayer", and I can tell you that our Bible teachers prayerfully prepared and brought some great thoughts each week, which we recorded for this podcast.
This first episode of season four is about serving and caring for refugees. Dwayne has a serious amount of experience working with refugees, and so he shares some really important information to share and talk about - enjoy!

What is Transforming Culture?
The world is rapidly changing. Every time we blink, it seems there’s a new cultural rule that we all have to follow. It can feel like waves crashing on us: we want to love others well, but also lead them to Jesus truthfully. Join us for Transforming Culture, where we take a deeper dive into how Christianity and the Bible interact with society and culture. These podcast episodes are based on sessions taught live at Muskoka Bible Centre as a part of our summer ministry programming.
MBC's mission is to grow resilient, biblically rooted families to the glory of God. We provide experiences where guests are renewed in their faith journey with Jesus Christ, connected to others in meaningful relationship and equipped to be the hands and feet of God in their communities.
