164. What Different Cultures Can Teach Us / Zach Walks Into A Skate Shop

The crucial differences which distinguish human societies and human beings are not biological. They are cultural. This quote by Ruth Benedict proves to be true time and time again. Society is determined by how that group of people operate. Each person belongs to at least one culture, and often belong to several subcultures at the same time. And yet, with all of these different cultures out there, people tend not to know how a person from another culture operates. Cultures can teach us a whole new world view, and while that doesn't necessarily mean we need to adopt that culture, it can certainly help us relate to the people in that culture. Mentoring is often a bridge between cultures. The mentor will more than likely have a different set of experiences in their life than their mentee will. Zach and John are back this week to talk through what kinds of things different cultures can teach us, how we can be open to learning from other cultures in our mentoring relationships, and how all of that factors in to Zach walking into a skate shop in Waco.
