Main Takeaway from 3D Gospel
After taking the Culture Test, reviewing the 3D Gospel on Honor-Shame cultures, and looking at least one of the further resources at the bottom of this page, what is your main takeaway from this topic? Be sure to try and draw all three of these things together in your response.

After doing the culture test, reviewing the 3D Gospel on Honor-Shame cultures, and doing more research on this topic, my main takeaway from this topic is just how important it is to understand the culture you are in. If you go in trying to share the gospel from your perspective of the guilt lens, it will not translate to others who are in the honor/shame culture. You need to go in very openly to learn and understand culture in order to relate to individuals in that culture well. Taking the culture test was very helpful for me as it opened me up to thinking about things in my own culture that I don’t often reflect on.

Great observations Taliya. Thanks for sharing. Hope this equips you both better for those you will be reaching with the love of Jesus.

I’ve always been aware of the different types of cultures but this really opened my eyes more to the honour/shame culture. The exercise of sharing the gospel using honour and shame vocabulary was more difficult than I expected. I’ve always looked at the gospel through a guilt/innocence lens. I will be more aware of these words and themes as I continue reading the Bible and practice sharing the gospel story through a honour/shame lens. It’s important for me to grasp this perspective so that I understand how the people group in my mission field will resonate with the gospel!
