TOPIC
This week we’re discussing “Making Peace with Letting Someone Down”
PAIN POINT
It’s easy to think making peace is “avoiding conflict” or “not standing up for yourself” because things do appear peaceful, but a lot of times, getting to a place of peace requires conflict or boundaries—and it’s really hard to do. How do we make peace with letting someone down?
3 MAIN POINTS
Today, we cover three main points:
1) The difficulty of letting someone down
2) What it looks like when you care too much
3) How to do the work (and make peace with letting someone down)

TOPIC
This week we’re discussing “Is It Peace or Denial”
PAIN POINT
We thought we had forgiven the person who hurt us, but our feelings don’t reflect it. We were expecting to stop feeling angry and hurt after we forgave. We’re expecting peace and relief. But the pain remains. Does this mean we didn’t truly forgive them? How do we know if we’ve really forgiven?
3 MAIN POINTS
Today, we cover three main points:
1) Defining denial and its attributes
2) What peace feels like
3) Moving from numbness into cultivating peace

This week we’re discussing How to Begin Healthy Tech Practices in Your Family with Andy Crouch
In the past 20 years, technology has advanced at an outstanding, often overwhelming rate. It’s ubiquitous; we use it at work, classrooms, homes, and churches. We use it to communicate, be entertained, interact with others, perform household tasks, navigate, wake us up, and countless other uses. It’s at our beck and call 24/7. For all its positive and life-changing attributes, it also has incredibly addictive qualities that keep us from living in reality. As parents, we need to be intentional about how we use technology, but it increasingly feels like an uphill battle. How do we implement healthy and realistic technological use in our families?
Andy Crouch is a partner for theology and culture at Praxis, a venture-building ecosystem advancing redemptive entrepreneurship. His writing explores faith, culture, and the image of God in the domains of technology, power, leadership, and the arts. He is the author of five books (plus another with his daughter, Amy Crouch) including one we’re discussing today called The Tech-Wise Family: Everyday Steps for Putting Technology in Its Proper Place.
Andy serves on the governing board of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship. For more than ten years he was an editor and producer at Christianity Today, including serving as executive editor from 2012 to 2016. He served the John Templeton Foundation in 2017 as a senior strategist for communication. His work and writing have been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and Time. He lives with his family in Swarthmore, Pennsylvania.

Trying to determine your purpose or navigating career growth might be the last thing on your mind as a single parent. But, having purpose and moving toward something is important.

3 MAIN POINTS
Today, we cover three main points:
1) What do we mean by “purpose”?
