In this episode of Kingdom and Culture, we engage with Eli from Tbilisi, who talks about his life and work with the Unsung Arts Collective. Eli shares his experiences living cross-culturally in various regions like Romania, West Africa, Kazakhstan, Russia, and now Georgia. The discussion navigates the complexities of Aaron Renn's 'Positive, Neutral, Negative World' framework and how it applies to Christians living in societies that may be hostile to their faith. Key points include how Christians can maintain faithfulness whether in positive or negative cultural settings, practical cross-cultural skills, and emphasizing family and local church efforts in a changing cultural environment.   00:00 Introduction and Guest Introduction 02:45 Eli's Background and Work in Tbilisi 04:33 Discussion on Aaron Renn's Framework 05:49 Cross-Cultural Experiences and Insights 09:35 Challenges and Strategies in Hostile Cultures 23:14 The Role of Family and Local Church 29:06 Understanding the DNA of a Church 29:50 Living Fearlessly and Facing Suffering 30:41 Faithfulness Over Societal Change 32:03 The Role of the Church in Society 35:27 Navigating Positive and Negative Worlds 53:15 Cross-Cultural Lessons for the Church 58:06 Final Thoughts and ReflectionsFind more about Eli's ethnoarts discipleship course at https://www.unsungarts.org/ Check out our Patreon for exclusive interviews with our guests: https://www.patreon.com/kingdomandcultureMerch: https://www.kingdomandculture.org/store
