Leading and Planting Churches for a Multicultural Future

In this episode, Adam Flynt sits down with Jim Essian of Paradox Church in Fort Worth, Texas, to discuss God’s heart for the nations and the church’s role in His global mission. Jim reflects on the dangers of “color blindness” in the church and the importance of recognizing culture and narrative while remaining anchored in what ultimately unites the people of God—worship of Jesus. Grounded in the reality that God initiated the mission and invites us to join Him, they highlight how Scripture functions as a missional handbook for the church. For pastors and church planters navigating questions of race, culture, and prejudice, this conversation offers insight and encouragement to pursue gospel unity while keeping God’s global heart at the center of the church’s mission.
