Brave Church: Tackling Tough Topics Together

In today's deeply divided world where discussions can quickly become heated and uncivil, churches need to learn the skills for having conversations about sensitive issues. Our society needs brave churches where people can talk about the real struggles they are experiencing without fear of shame or judgment. People need their church to be a safe place to talk openly about their challenges and to know that they will be met with loving hearts and open minds. Brave Church will help congregations talk about controversial topics, guiding readers to think through how the church relates to infertility/miscarriage, mental health, domestic violence, racism, and sexuality. Throughout the 6-week study, readers will follow "brave space rules" so they can stay in hard conversations with one another. For readers who want to keep talking about these difficult topics, the book suggests resources for further reading and action.Read less
