Have you ever felt like your cultural heritage or background makes you a misfit in the church?

For many ethnic minorities in predominantly white churches, the experience of faith is complicated. You love Jesus, but you struggle to feel seen. You're committed to the church, but you wonder if it's committed to you. You long to belong--not as a guest, not as an exception, but as a valued member of the body of Christ. If you've ever felt like you don't belong at church because of your ethnicity, this book is for you. And if you've never thought of yourself as ethnic at all, this book is for you too, because everyone is ethnic somewhere.

In Everyone Is Ethnic Somewhere, pastor and church planter Pradeepan Jeeva shares his journey as an American-born son of Sri Lankan refugees navigating the complexities of faith, culture, and belonging in the American church. Blending personal stories, biblical insights, and practical wisdom, this book will help you:

• Embrace your identity in Christ without setting aside your culture
• Navigate the tensions of race, faith, and belonging with wisdom and grace
• Find and help create spaces where diversity is welcomed and valued
• Heal from church hurt and move forward with hope
• Lead conversations and church change in a way that unites

The church was always meant to be a place where every nation, tribe, and tongue stands together in worship. For every believer who has wrestled with feeling unseen, unheard, or unsure of their place in the church because of their cultural heritage, this book is your guide to a renewed sense of belonging.
