In a 2011 State of the City Address, the mayor of pastor and author Mark Hearn's city said there were fifty-seven languages spoken at the local high school. Hearn left asking himself, How should our church respond? This question led to a movement that brought First Baptist Duluth to reflect its surrounding community. This journey was captured in Georgia Baptists Pastor Hearn’s first book, Technicolor: Inspiring Your Church to Embrace Multicultural Ministry.
In this broadcast, Scott and Mark discuss the motivation behind the book and pathways for churches to be a multicultural congregation. Topics include:
• Why the title choice and how it relates to being multicultural
• Pastors often wish they could reach all nations, but why is that not simple
• How to disciple with multiple languages spoken
• Ways to apply a discipleship pathway with different cultural backgrounds
• Lessons learned while members transitioned to embrace diversity
• Insight into how 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation immigrants join an American church
• How to emphasize accommodation over assimilation to attract and connect with guests and future members.
• 9 lessons learned to help a church become multi-cultural
This podcast exists to strengthen churches by resourcing, inspiring, and creating disciple-makers! Discipleship is a life-long process by which a follower of Jesus Christ grows toward Christ-likeness and multiplies the experience. Each week we will broadcast new episodes relevant to your ministry and replicating discipleship.
