Episode 118 Take Two: Tough Conversations with Friends with Stephanie Thole
Manage episode 300928172 series 1627021
Engaging conversations on race or sexuality is a hard, holy task.
As Christians, we don’t always do it well, even if our hearts are in the right place.
- Are these conversations the same?
- How are they different?
- Can we advocate justice and unity without endorsing what is not God’s best?
- And how do we do this with our friends?
Stephanie Thole entered into this conversation with extraordinary grace and kindness, and we are thrilled to listen in again.
//: Highlights
- “We were one of the few black families. I remember always being so attracted to all of these white boys. In my mind, I was like, ‘I gotta get rid of this…’ I understood at a very early age that that was not allowed.” —Stephanie Thole
- “I was very much aware at how different I was. That I was ‘other.’” —Stephanie Thole
- “A lot of us have made mistakes, have had hard conversations, have offended the wrong person, and it’s been a painful, awkward experience. Don’t let that stop you. Keep walking.” —Stephanie Thole
//: Do the Next Thing
