Greetings all! I wanted to make some of you aware of our Fall Special going on specifically designed for Skool members! It's a great way for you and your team to be introduced to Cultural Intelligence. It includes assessment for up to five of your leaders. A Teams report will also be generated that shows a Cultural Mapping of your team. Plus, a two hour virtual debrief will be scheduled with me highlighting the most likely areas of misunderstanding, what voices are missing from your team and who is likely feeling somewhat frustrated and somewhat isolated on your team. It'll provide a lot of insight that you never considered before and a wonderful first step in the Cultural Intelligence journey. We designed this to be affordable for relatively young church plants and churches in redevelopment. It is 40% off our typical rates! Go here to register for it or you can schedule a zoom call with me if you have any questions.

Here is an article that I wrote for Exponential on why CQ is a gospel imperative! https://exponential.org/cultural-intelligence-cq-a-gospel-imperative/

From the CT archive: https://chrst.today/49fde5z “Jesus did not turn a blind eye to injustice,” wrote Raymond Chang last year. “We too must take up our cross and follow him, even when it leads us to the lives of the most vulnerable. If the church remains silent now, we risk repeating the mistakes of the past. But if we act with courage and conviction, we can help write a different future, one that honors Christ by standing with those whom he calls beloved. This is the moment for the church to rise—not with fear, but with faith. Not with silence, but with solidarity. We can support ministries that provide legal aid, language access, and holistic care to immigrant families. We can amplify and listen to the voices of immigrant leaders and stand in solidarity with them as fellow image bearers and believers. We can create space for lament in our churches, pray for those affected, and open our doors as places of refuge and advocacy. And we can repent: of our silence, our indifference, and our complacency in the face of suffering. If we believe the gospel is good news, then it must be good news for the immigrant, the asylum seeker, the undocumented child. It must be good news for those who are afraid. Let us remember our identity as the church: witnesses to a kingdom marked by compassion, righteousness, and reconciliation. And let it be said that when the vulnerable cried out, the body of Christ did not look away. Instead, we stood up. We spoke up. We followed Jesus to the margins, and there we found him.”

I'm ecstatic about joining this grouo.
