Free 2-Part Interactive Workshop
As Christians, we are called to love one another (John 13:34-35), yet, interacting with others on a daily basis can be challenging. People come with different ideas, perspectives, backgrounds, and personalities – and learning to love with Jesus’ love is not easy!
This two-part interactive workshop is designed to enhance our understanding and skills in how we relate to family, friends, co-workers, as well as those within our church families. We’ll explore biblical principles and helpful strategies to both listen and respond in loving ways in a variety of situations such as when we are asked for advice, receive confrontation, and deal with conflict.
