There are so many conflicts in our country, in our cities, in our communities, in our families. Conflict between conservatives and liberals, urban and rural, black and white. The conflicts aren’t just “out there”, they are in our church buildings, living rooms and holiday tables. It can feel overwhelming and hopeless. We see the world in terms of “us” and “them”. Both sides are too scared to stop yelling their defense. It’s exhausting and we’re not getting any closer to resolutions. As we stare into the last months of what has been one of the most divided years in recent history, what if we told you that conflict is not a problem to fix but an opportunity for transformation? What if we were to tell you that there is a powerful revolution already happening? Not in the halls of congress but around our dinner tables. In this webinar, Global Immersion Co-Founding Director, Jon Huckins, will examine the ways that families and churches are using the Mending the Divides: Creative Love in a Conflicted World Peacemaking Framework to partner with God in bringing restoration. We’ll get to hear from Lisa Scandrette, Co-Author of Belonging and Becoming: Creating a Thriving Family Culture , and Jeremiah Kim, Pastor at Flood Church – San Diego, on how to integrate everyday peacemaking into your family culture and church communities. We’ll end with space to interact with our panelists on how to practically pursue everyday peacemaking as a family and/or congregation. Join us for this necessary conversation and learn how to move toward brokenness armed with tools to transform.

DATE: Wednesday, November 15th

TIME: 10:00am PST / 1:00pm EST

*even if you can’t attend, still register for the webinar and we’ll email you a recording of the video conversation.
