Curated Resources on Faith & Difficult Conversations

What makes some subjects especially difficult to talk about?

  • We're touching on fears or deep losses in an already stressed environment
  • Topics are polarizing in a tense political climate
  • We feel unqualified to broach the subject
Many of us are just trying to get by from week to week and feel as if we don't have the energy to "stir things up" if it can be avoided. Yet difficult conversations are necessary for growth in faith and life. From church closings to counteracting conspiracy theories, this month's theme will equip you to show up better the next time you need to have a difficult conversation.
