Cultural and Social Issues

Learn to navigate some of the most divisive issues of our culture from God's perspective: ethical dilemmas, gender issues in the church, social justice, racial reconciliation, politics, adoption, care for the poor, prison ministry, human dignity, creation care, and the pressures of materialism, consumerism and comparison.

Make sure your soul is fed and your strength and courage are built up so you are equipped to lead through tough situations. Delve into topics like protecting yourself, becoming emotionally healthy, maximizing your influence, making decisions, discovering your identity, and bearing the burden of people's pain.
