Courageous Conversations

Jesus said the greatest commandment was to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. The next greatest commandment was to love our neighbor. But how can we truly love our neighbor if we don’t know our neighbor? The Antiracism Ministry team and Courageous Conversations writing team invite you to engage In “Courageous Conversations” in order to know your neighbor. These videos feature people in Foothills Presbytery telling their own stories – stories that may be very different from our own. As we listen, we learn, and we become better informed. With greater understanding of our neighbor, we can live in ways that encourage deeper, more authentic relationships. Listening deeply to these stories, and having intentional conversation around them, we open ourselves to a better understanding of issues we often avoid. Christ calls us to love one another (John 13), to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2), and to be compassionate to one another (Luke 6:31). Engaging in courageous conversations helps us answer that call.
