This dissertation intends to address the fragmentation that exists within the church along racial and ethnic lines by proposing a holistic discipleship model that incorporates Cultural Intelligence (CQ) as a spiritual practice. Such a model can produce Christlike disciples that have a greater understanding of the global body of Christ. The vast majority of churches in the U.S. are ethnically homogeneous, yet local communities, particularly communities in Christian higher education, are becoming increasingly diverse. CQ aims to help individuals navigate a globalized and diversifying world in ways that cultivate honor and respect for cultural difference. So often, we attach cross-cultural learning only to those with a specific ministry calling. Reimagining cross-cultural learning as an expansion of discipleship detaches it from missional calling and attaches it to our membership and identity in the global church. CQ as a spiritual practice for every Christian, I will argue, can offer us a way forward towards unity in the church.
