Hi. I’m Dan Crain.

I'm the Director of Groups and Formation for the OneRace Movement in Atlanta, GA. I’m a pastor at heart and love to equip the church to live into Christ’s ministry of reconciliation across color, class, and culture. I’ve written a best selling book on Amazon called Christ over Culture, which equips the church to live into what Christ has finished on the cross.

A Gospel Journey to Racial Redemption

Are you a pastor or Christian leader who senses something is amiss in the church?

Do you long for the vibrant, unified body of Christ that Revelation 7:9 envisions—a church that represents every nation, tribe, people, and language?

In this transformative book, Dan Crain vulnerably shares his own twenty-year journey of being lovingly confronted by people of color regarding his cultural blind spots. Through their wisdom and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, he discovered the joy and freedom of living God’s heart for a reconciled, culturally diverse church.
Christ over Culture will help you

- understand the depth and complexity of the issues dividing the church along racial and cultural lines

-break free from the damaging influence of majority culture Christianity

-pursue justice and reconciliation for the marginalized

-experience the profound joy of a church united in Christ.


This book is a clarion call for; Courageous self-examination and repentance. Humbly listening to and learning from believers of other cultures. Boldly following the Holy Spirit into the “New Humanity” in Christ.


If you’re ready to embark on a life-changing journey towards the church God intended—one marked by unity, justice, diversity, and joy—then Christ over Culture is your guide.

Don’t settle for a homogeneous, culturally captive Christianity. Discover the richness of God’s kingdom vision today! In Christ over Culture, Dan invites readers into that same journey, where the gospel does the sanctifying work of pulling us out of cultural captivity and into deeper alignment with the kingdom of God. With clarity and conviction, he names how historical injustices still echo in our present while pointing us to the redemptive power of Christ that calls the church to unity. This book is both a testimony and a guide for anyone longing to understand how culture forms us and how the Holy Spirit can reform us when we yield to its leading. I highly recommend it.

BOOK

  • "Our friend, in this compelling book, shares his heart and conviction to love and shepherd God's church to be the visible portrait of our eternal reality (Rev. 7:9). In so doing he encourages every follower of Christ to be the hope-filled answer to the divisiveness of our times."

    Dr. Crawford and Karen Loritts, cofounders of Beyond our Generation

  • “The Lord used Dan and Serving with Dignity to help turn our ship around. Serving with Dignity has been one of the few tools in the massive Christian toolbox that actually is useful and life transforming. To have him and Serving with Dignity in our back yard is wonderful. I would highly recommend Dan to come to your church. You will not regret it.”

    Rob Irvine, Former Outside the Walls Pastor, Cumberland Community Church

  • “The topics of poverty, race, justice, dignified interdependence and a holistic gospel of Jesus Christ can be very challenging and difficult, but Dan’s delivery is unique because of his credibility, authenticity and humility. He speaks from life experience, having worked these concepts out in his own heart and ministry, which allows him to deliver this rich content in a non-threatening, but compelling way.”

    James Gadsby, Chief Operating Officer, Desire Street Ministries

  • "It is a sacred gift for someone to share their journey with you. Dan Crain in Christ over Culture gives us such a gift, sharing how he came to a fuller understanding of the good news of Christ only after learning to release his investment in whiteness. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is ready to let go and rest in their identity as the accepted and beloved of God."
