A JESUS-FIRST PARADIGM (dialoguing across differences)

Jesus cares about our stories. And as Jesus followers, we should care about each other’s stories. Hearing and engaging with one another’s stories makes it possible for radical empathy to form a bridge of hope and healing across our differences.

How do we have conversations across our differences? Here is a communication process that helps to make such conversations possible.

Listen — to the stories of others with compassion and thoughtfulness

Feel — acknowledge and engage the other’s pain, as though you were in their shoes

Share — express your feelings, thoughts, and convictions honestly without dismissing or devaluing their stories

Boundaries — clarify areas of agreement and disagreement, creating space to love each other and trust Jesus as Lord
