    Episode Notes

    HIGHLIGHTS

    • Importance of having difficult conversations at age/phase-appropriate settings
      • If we avoid these topics, the church becomes judgmental and stodgy
    • The body of Christ has been divided by the topic of racial unrest
      • Stemming from NOT loving with Christ's love, but also NOT listening to understand
    • What happens when there is a kid who attends your church who is dealing with racial discrimination in places like their school?
      • How do we stay mindful of those who are part of the minority within the church, and creating space for them to feel included?
      • How can we be part of the solution?
    • Playing it safe may represent that you stand on nothing — it's ok to stand on truth and what you believe
    • “Don't “bleed” on social media”
    • Learn to be OK with expressing your heart on social media, but understand you must have thick skin
