ABOUT THE EPISODE
The Great Commission outlines God’s intentions for us to make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything the Lord commanded. Today’s episode features a clip from our newest online course, which provides a biblical overview of developing and maintaining multiracial/multiethnic churches. You’ll get a sneak peek into the class, which seeks to clarify the scriptural foundation for culturally diverse churches and describes how these churches can be cultivated.
