Crossing Cultures

In the final episode of season 4, we take a look at what it means to dig deeper wells with Jesus. This episode is broken up into 3 different segments.  The first is a recap of all that transpired with our church during the first few months of the war. The second is a testimony from Phil and his friend Margo on their experiences in Ukraine during the war. And finally an epilogue of our staff’s takeaways during this season of ministry. The point of this final episode is not to draw a conclusion about what we did during this time. But what we gained by allowing God to have His way in this situation. Through it all, we learned more of the foundational truth that everyone always needs Jesus at the center of their lives.  If you would like to support the efforts in Aiding the people in Ukraine, donate now to www.calvarysd.com/ukrainerelief Follow Us on Social Media - YouTube - Facebook - Instagram SONGS USED IN THE EPISODE: "Let me See Your Hands" by Josh White "Gotta Get to Heaven" by Jabee Silently Steady” by Sow and Mend & Joshua Ewing "Sweetest Sound" by The Dwelling You can find his music on Any Music Platform Listen here to the complete playlist of all the songs used in this season of Crossing Cultures: Click here to download the playlist on Apple Music Click here to download the playlist on Spotify Click here to listen to the playlist on YouTube Credits: Host: Keya Lopez Producer: Phil Metzger Editor: Luis Lopez This podcast is a ministry of San Diego Credit goes to these companies for their clips and news footage in this episode: Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa KPBS CBS ABC CNN NBC The Guardian Tapp Channel Euro News BBC Newsnight "Maidan" Official Movie Trailer #1 (2014) There are some conversations and topics in this episode that may be disturbing for some viewers.

In this season of Crossing Cultures, we tell our story of how God taught a Local Church what it means to have a Global Heart. This is not the story of good guys versus bad guys or people helping those in need- it’s the story of ALL people needing Jesus in different seasons of their lives. Our Ukrainian friends needed help getting into America and on to the next phase of their lives- we needed them to remind us of the global heart of God.  More episodes in the season are coming soon.
