Are you patriotic? What does being patriotic mean to you?
I immediately thought of the verse, “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.” (Psalm 122:6) Jerusalem means the country in which I live. When I’m patriotic, I’m praying and acting on behalf of my home.
What’s the thing you’re most scared to do? What would it take to get you to do it?
My biggest scary situation is being well-known. But, stepping out in faith in my creative work may bring that result. So I will trust God for ways to manage that fear.
Are you concerned about divisiveness in our country? Do you wish you could talk to friends about politics and/or religions without arguing?
My book, HEALING AMERICA, teaches skills that help you share with others about what’s deeply important to you. Each chapter includes an explanation of concepts foundational to communication in a democracy. Not only that, but the chapters include:
a short quiz for comprehension,
a practice in using the concept, and
space to journal your experience and see the concept at work in your life.
