Session 6: Cultural Differences Part 1

Have you ever wondered why people think different from you? Have you ever thought to yourself, "Why don't they understand where I'm coming from?" Or... "If only I could understand where they're coming from, things would be easier." Well, what if I were to tell you there's a reason why those moments happen? And a huge part of those moments you encounter have to deal with cultural differences! 

Culture is the way a group of people adapts. We adapt to things such as:

• Physical Environments
• Social Environments
• Cultural Environments
• Ideological Environments
• Spiritual Environments

There are a variety of things that shape the way we view the world. But what if those same things could also serve as blind spots as to why we disconnect with people? And the same things that shape our cultural upbringing, could also be the same thing that disconnects us from God and His Word. Sometimes, we respond to people and life events with our cultural perspective instead of God's perspective. So how do we live in the strengths and maintain a great healthy pride of our culture without being overrun by it? That's what this session is about!

Todays talk is all about identifying your cultural background. How it's both a strength and a blind spot, how we can identify that blind spot, and overcome it to connect with others for the sake of the gospel! Your culture matters and so does everyone else's! Join us as we talk about Cultural Differences!
