“Third Culture: the mindset and the will to love, learn, and serve in any culture, even in the midst of pain and discomfort. Becoming all things to all people; a church without walls; adapt and thrive by being liquid to connect with our 21st century global village. A wake-up call to return to our roots, our calling as lovers of the marginalized. ”

I have respect for many mega-churches in what they are doing with large numbers of people, but this book comes from a church taking a different tack, being smaller and so making it possible for everyone to be engaged - and this around a number of key questions. For Gibbons' church these are: Where is Nazerath?; What is my pain?; and, What is in my hand?”
