It's easy these days to retreat into the safety of listening to those who see the world like we do. But that place is not where we grow. That's why Mirela, our peacebuilder from Sarajevo, invites you to try walking in someone else's shoes. peacecatalyst.org/blog/2023/…

Those who've lived through war & have come out as #peace builders have powerful lessons to teach us. In the Bosnian war faith & ethnicity were used to stoke distrust, fear & violence. Learn from peace builders there by joining a group or bringing your own. peacecatalyst.org/catalyze

Wonderful weekend at the @EvolvFaith conference! If you follow Jesus and are exploring new ways to live out that faith or asking questions about how your faith & peacebuilding come together, send us a DM or email. We'd love to talk!

As Christians, when we cultivate peacebuilding postures, we develop a resilient, relevant & vibrant faith that can sustain us when we face polarity, hyperdiversity & conflict because we see healthy engagement across difference as central to our own Christian discipleship.

Building peace can seem overwhelming in the face of conflicts & divisions, but it all starts with understanding. The first step is to practice being aware of our own minds and hearts and then genuinely moving toward understanding others. To all on the journey with us, keep at it!

Powerful things happen when we eat together. We sit at the same table, we face each other, we eat good food, hear stories, and laugh. So join us for the Big Table, a giant potluck in #Louisville on 9/10 for neighbors of all walks of life. eventbrite.com/e/the-big-tab…

We've officially wrapped our Month of #PeaceFeasts! At our last event, guests learned about the #UyghurGenocide & wrote to U.S. companies that are using products produced by #Uyghur forced labor. Thank you for supporting Peace Catalyst & helping us hold Peace Feasts like this!
