Are you ready to transform the way you connect with others on the journey of faith? Enter into the world of "Faith after Doubt," and unlock the power of meaningful connection.
Join us for a dynamic, interactive day exploring Brian McLaren's four stages of faith (Simplicity, Complexity, Perplexity , and Harmony) and learn how embracing these stages can deepen and enrich your conversations and connections with others on the spiritual journey.
Through engaging discussions, real-life scenarios, and practical tools, you'll learn to listen deeply, communicate compassionately, and bridge divides with people at every point on their Spiritual path.
Whatever part of the journey you may be on this program will equip you to foster genuine understanding and create space for growth and authentic dialogue.
Bring a Brown Bag lunch and we will provide snacks and beverages.
