Caring Ministries

Difficult conversations—A Fresh Start at Building Bridges Across Differences

After a particularly polarizing year, we all feel the burden of divisions that can get in the way of the relationships that God is calling us to develop. Avoiding the real issues when a conversation is needed can lead to hard hearts for the parties involved. Christians and the church are called into difficult dialogues with hope, unity, and open hearts.

About the Webinar

is webinar will equip church members to have “bridge-building conversations”: difficult conversations that feature listening with caring curiosity, with the goal of pursuing deeper, life-giving connections.
