If you want to feel like you are right about any opinion, it is possible in the world we live in today. And so our world becomes a swirling pool of disagreement and polarization. We are inventing things to disagree on at a staggering level. It creates an incredibly unsafe environment where we don't feel safe to bring up almost any topic for fear of ending a relationship over it.
What if we surrendered "right"?
What if we stopped looking at the world through that kind of lens?
This week we are exploring that very question as we have a conversation about Cascade's core value of Diversity. We define it as; We better understand God when we live in a community of people who are different from each other.
You see if we let go of being "right" we can grab hold of being in relationship. I can hear your voice and perspective because it doesn't threaten my reality. It's not a game that I could lose, but another viewpoint that I could understand.
To help us in this conversation we are privileged to have Pastor Jonathan Brooks join us from Chicago. Our mutual friend Leroy Barber connected us and Pastor Brooks has great insights to share as a person who has lived his life in diverse communities that are often overlooked and discovered an aspect of God that is also overlooked.
