Ep. 38 | Multicultural church w/ Josh Buys, Mark Buhler, & Don Schuiling
We know from Revelation that heaven is going to be an incredible, multicultural celebration—more than we could ever imagine! And if we are serious about joining Jesus in asking for God’s kingdom come here on earth, then shouldn’t we expect our churches to start looking more like that multicultural reality?
In this episode, Mike Mawhorter had a conversation with Josh Buys (Lead Pastor of Kingdom Life Community Church), Mark Buhler (Multicultural Pastor at Faith Fellowship Baptist Church), and Don Schuiling (Lead Pastor of Richmond Baptist Church) about what it takes to be intentional about growing diversity in our churches and why it matters.
