STEPPING INTO CONTROVERSY SEMINAR

Engaging Controversy, Exhibiting Courage, and Exemplifying Christ-Like Character: Is it Possible in Today’s Climate?

We live in turbulent and divisive times.  Many Christians tell me that they can’t talk about political differences…with their best friends!  How much hope is there then to discuss controversial matters with those we don’t know?  Most are pessimistic about the prospect.

I believe we can do much better.  The tools to do so are available.

For many years, I’ve been thinking and writing about how people ought to engage on issues that they vehemently disagree on.  I’ve decided it is high time to speak on it.

My conversation partners are liberals and conservatives, though you will find out that I don’t much care for those labels.  Too many on both sides resort to labels instead of doing the hard work of better understanding what “the other side” truly believes.

I am available to speak and interact with your group starting  July 15.

For those interested in more extended input, I have put together a study guide with several discussion questions of How to Think: a Survival Guide for a World at Odds by Alan Jacobs.

Cost: Pay my expenses and whatever honorarium you deem appropriate.
