Matthew 5:38–42 · How do we respond when someone mistreats us?
Following Jesus isn't just about what we believe. It's about how we think, what we say, and how we treat the people around us.

It's easy to say we follow Jesus. The harder question is whether people can see that in the way we live.
Cross Culture is a place to think honestly about Scripture and what it means for our everyday choices: how we respond when we're offended, how we handle disagreement, and how we love people who see the world differently.
Not from a place of having it all figured out. From a desire to keep becoming more like Christ.

Cross Culture is a Bible-based project about the difference Jesus calls us to make in the world around us.
It's not about winning arguments or pretending to have all the answers. It's about taking Scripture seriously and letting it challenge our attitudes, motives, words, and actions—starting with our own.
