Show Notes

Casey Church is the pastor of Good Medicine Way in Albuquerque, NM. He has been in ministry for three decades as a Native American encouraging a contextualized way of worship. In his personal history, he has had painful experiences of being reprimanded and shunned for expressing his love for God in ways familiar to his cultural traditions. Praise God, he has accepted the call to invite Native Americans into culturally contextualized ways of worshipping Jesus!

Speaker 0 00:00:00 You can take, you can take things from one culture that are deemed a pagan and like Europeans, you can create them so that they're Christian expressions. But this is what happened with NATO. America is that, uh, all of this grace that was given to Europe to create this Christianity that they created for us to use around the world was never given to any other culture, the freedom to create something that looks like them. Right? My, my idea is that the seed of Jesus Christ needs to be planted into the soil of the indigenous world, and then let that grow from the inside out. But what we do is we bring the potted plant and we put it into their world and say, adapt.
