Publisher's Synopsis
The Difference Course explores what it means to follow Jesus in a complex and divided world. Participants are equipped to cross divides, navigate disagreement, practice forgiveness, and pursue a just and flourishing life. Run over five sessions, the course draws deeply on Jesus' encounters in the Gospels and the wisdom of expert peacemakers. It shares three habits that can transform everyday relationships and build practices that have a deep and lasting impact on our actions, thoughts and character: Be curious - listen to others' stories and see the world through their eyes. Be present - encounter others with authenticity and confidence. Re-imagine - finding hope and opportunity in the places where we long to see change. The Participant Guide is designed to help course attendees prepare for the sessions, process their thoughts and reflect on their ideas and actions during the course. It is designed to be used before, during and after each session.
