What does respectful and meaningful dialogue look like in a world that seems to be divided and combative on big and important issues our culture faces? We are all part of a global, pluralistic and digitally connected community and share in varying degrees of political, social and personal challenges. These challenges can create a deep longing for resolution and hope for a better future, but how do we move toward that better future within a polarized culture?
Darrell Bock and Charlie Styles will take you through a Christian perspective on what it means to engage with people we share our lives with, and the offer Jesus Christ freely gives to those who are looking for Hope.
