How to Lovingly Disagree and Coexist with Others

We will focus on 1 Corinthians 13:1-3 where Paul tells us that Love is more important then talent, knowledge, and service, as well as the two greatest commandments that Jesus gives us. We'll talk about how we do have truth, but as Christians we are called to love everyone, even when we disagree with them. We will call out "wrong" ways that Christians disagree with the world, and call ourselves to be better.

Workshop leader: Drew Davis

How will it help you be BOLD? Christ calls us to be the best, and most true, versions of ourselves, and the Holy Spirit can transform us to become that person. Having Faith can empower us to live differently then this world pressures us to live. We don't have to hate, or not be able to coexist, with people who think differently with us. Faith in God empowers us to love like Jesus.
