Award-winning voices in the church are calling this book timely and necessary. Dr. Crawford Loritts commends Dan Crain’s work, saying, “Dan Crain’s words stimulated our thinking concerning the role of the Holy Spirit in freeing us from cultural bondage as we pursue authentic biblical unity. This is indeed the source of our power and transformation.”
In his powerful new release, “Christ over Culture: A Gospel Journey to Racial Redemption” (Redemption Press, 2025), Crain boldly dismantles cultural strongholds and invites believers to embrace God’s heart for reconciliation. Drawing from twenty years of personal experience—marked by being lovingly challenged by believers of color—Crain vulnerably shares how the Holy Spirit opened his eyes to cultural blind spots and led him into the joy and freedom of authentic biblical unity.
With Scripture, lived experience, and hard-earned wisdom, “Christ Over Culture” confronts the ways majority-culture Christianity can unintentionally perpetuate division and injustice. Instead, Crain points readers toward the vibrant vision of Revelation 7:9—a diverse, united body of Christ that reflects every nation, tribe, people, and language.
Key Takeaways for Readers:
- Courageously examine cultural blind spots and personal biases.
- Break free from the grip of cultural captivity and embrace the gospel’s call to unity.
- Learn to listen, repent, and walk humbly alongside believers of every culture.
- Discover the fierce urgency and profound joy of becoming the “new humanity” in Christ.
This book is both a wake-up call and a hopeful roadmap, equipping Christians to move beyond cultural captivity and into the reconciled, justice-seeking, Spirit-led life God has always intended for His church.
