Cross-Cultural Christianity with Phil Metzger

By January 20, 2021April 24th, 2022Christian Living, Culture, Podcasts1 min read

Aaron sits down with Phil Metzger (lead pastor at Calvary San Diego) to talk about the art of “Crossing Cultures.” Phil and his family have spent meant years overseas as missionaries and in that time he has learned all about how to communicate and relate to those who see the world differently. The first season of Phil’s show is all about racial relations, and so Aaron and Phil discuss the problem of racial blindspots, the need for openness to different points of view, the necessity of reconciliation and forgiveness, and the debate around the “hot button” issue of the phrase “white privilege.”
