Great stuff, Brian, Willie and Rachel! Was really glad to take part in this discussion. It can be intimidating for a lot of folks right now so it’s good that we can come together in community and talk about it. Thanks for facilitating it!
It was a solid dialogue, JCL. And of course, it’s a sensitive and significant topic. Listening and ideating are important. I thought we had some original thinking here.
Excellent perspectives. As a Christian I appreciate the reminder that we must not be filled in to viewing world events through a worldly lends… we must focus on a Christ like response. Our nation is be tested in ways we haven’t seen in 100 years, we have to be the answer, church needs to have a compassionate uprising.
Absolutely, Chris … how we see and interpret is key. Only with a “Christ-lens” can we meet the moment with wisdom from above.
