Save Face? Save a Relationship? or Save Both? (Part 1)
In a multicultural society, navigating conflict can be complex, especially when the concept of “face” plays a pivotal role in how relationships develop and are maintained.
Join Dr. Jolene Kinser on Thursday Feb 27 2025 from 10:00-11:00 AM PST on Zoom for a biblically-based, interactive workshop that offers critical insights into this often-overlooked dynamic.
What You Will Learn:
- Understanding Face: Explore what “face” is and why it matters in everyday conflicts.
- Theology of Face: Discover God’s intentions for face and how its distortion through the Fall affects interactions.
- Practical Applications: Learn what makes proactively addressing conflict possible in face-sensitive relationships.
Whether you’re in a challenging personal relationship or guiding others, come gain a fresh perspective on what it takes to create “face safe” Christian communities, where openness, grace, and healing replace shame and avoidance.
Cost: A donation of any amount is welcomed. Recommended donation is $15.
