Our divided world is in desperate need of Christians who will reach beyond our comfort zones and engage with others. This video has some reflections on how Paul did it.

From the video: “It occurred to me that the encounter Paul had in that spot, engaging with the philosophical and the curious, provides an example of how we might engage with other cultures as followers of Christ. Paul didn't just get off a boat in Athens, hike out to Mars Hill and start preaching. He did his homework.”
