We in the church often find ourselves at a linguistic crossroads, unable to communicate the Good News of Christ in the same language as the culture around us. While we may use many of the same words, their meanings often diverge significantly. Shouting louder is not the solution, for it fails to bridge the cultural gap. If we are to truly and effectively share the Gospel, we must embark on the challenging task of translating Jesus. Pastor and teacher Shauna Pilgreen guides us on this bilingual journey, showing us how to embrace and unpack the complexities of spreading the Gospel in a culturally diverse world. Through her insights, we learn how to communicate the love of God in the three crucial intersections where Christ and culture meet: the gate, the cross, and the table. By learning to share our stories in the language of the culture, we not only foster deeper spiritual conversations but also cultivate a supportive and loving community of bilingual believers who are passionate about inviting others to enter the kingdom of God.
