Questions Discussed:
- We normally advise group leaders to try to avoid political and hot button issues during group meetings, but current events are impossible to not talk about right now. How would you advise leaders as they approach these conversations?
- How can we have constructive conversations about the protests and riots without it breaking down into choosing political sides?
- What can we do as leaders to move the conversation forward on racial tensions in our groups?
- How can churches and pastors do a better job of listening to and promoting the voices of different races?
