Who else could use this reminder with their morning (and afternoon) coffee these days? #listenfirst

It's easy these days to retreat into the safety of listening to those who see the world like we do. But that place is not where we grow. That's why Mirela, our peacebuilder from Sarajevo, invites you to try walking in someone else's shoes.

Our President Martin Brooks was asked to speak with a World Affairs Council of Kentucky & So. Indiana delegation from the country of Georgia about our work & how we build #peace with religious actors. So glad to have connected with this group! And thanks to Interfaith Peace for sharing the time with us!

#PeaceFeast with Shoulder to Shoulder Campaign this weekend! The diverse group gathered for dinner & talked about the importance of this kind of space with everything happening in the world. One person also shared how encouraging it was to see people actively pursuing peace like this🧡

Those who've lived through war & have come out as #peace builders have powerful lessons to teach us. In the Bosnian war faith & ethnicity were used to stoke distrust, fear & violence. Learn from peace builders there by joining a group or bringing your own.

We're teaming up with Shoulder to Shoulder Campaign to host a #PeaceFeast THIS WEEKEND! Join us for food, stories, and friendship with neighbors in the #DMV area. We'll enjoy getting to know each other over delicious #Turkish food. peacecatalyst.org/events/2023/10…

Join us for this free online course (co-hosted with Renewing Our Minds) focused on why #peace building is a foundational part of the #Christian faith and for resources and tools to get started or continue your journey as a peacebuilder. Sign up: peacecatalyst.org/events

Wonderful weekend at the Evolving Faith conference!
If you follow Jesus and are exploring new ways to live out that faith or asking questions about how your faith & peacebuilding come together, send us a DM or email. We'd love to talk!

As Christians, when we cultivate peacebuilding postures, we develop a resilient, relevant & vibrant faith that can sustain us when we face polarity, hyperdiversity & conflict because we see healthy engagement across difference as central to our own Christian discipleship.

Building peace can seem overwhelming in the face of conflicts & divisions, but it all starts with understanding. The first step is to practice being aware of our own minds and hearts and then genuinely moving toward understanding others. To all on the journey with us, keep at it!

Powerful things happen when we eat together. We sit at the same table, we face each other, we eat good food, hear stories, and laugh. So join us for the Big Table, a giant potluck in #Louisville on 9/10 for neighbors of all walks of life. eventbrite.com/e/the-big-tabl…

Happening in 2 weeks! Last year you all blew us away by giving $13,000 in a single day to bring together diverse neighbors & help people build peace across lines of difference. So we're doing it again! Mark your calendars for Sept 14! #giveforgood

We think of #peace building as a journey, not a single event. Each of our peacebuilders is on this learning journey and constantly going deeper, and we want your #church to come along too! Here's why:
