In this episode, we sit down with Marie Burrus, church consultant at the Union Baptist Association in Houston, TX. God’s love has no borders and crosses every culture and nation. Marie shares how to love diaspora neighbors and cultivate cultural intelligence as we live with curiosity and humility. We even touch on navigating the landscape of AI with one particular caution. Join us for a rich, practical conversation for anyone longing to live missionally in a complex, multicultural world.

Reflection – KNOWING • BEING • MULTIPLYING
After listening, take a moment to reorient and recalibrate with the Lord in your knowing, being, and multiplying.
- 🌿 Knowing – How does understanding the idea of diaspora expand your view of God’s heart for the nations —even those living right next door?
- 💠 Being – What does humility look like in your relationships across culture, ethnicity, or worldview?
- 🌱 Multiplying – Who in your city or neighborhood could you begin to notice and engage with open eyes and an open heart this week?
Let those questions linger with you throughout your day.
