Student Leadership & Learning Ep 11 | Navigating Difficult Conversations
November 18, 2024
If we teach our students not what to think but how to think, we equip them with the skill to discern with wisdom. Emily Pigott provides more encouragement and advice on how to intentionally converse with students. Christian education provides the opportunities to have conversations daily with students, but making the most of these chances is key to helping students utilize a biblical worldview when navigating difficult topics.
The book by Sean McDowell that Emily mentions: https://www.christianbook.com/stalemate-past-cancel-culture-meaningful-conversations/9781496481153/pd/481157?srsltid=AfmBOorEVtEvCJy1xVU_Lr1csdG63mfHSsSWB5d0cfyPK2LiqIEN5i0p
