Listen Later

Heather Thompson Day shares her journey from academia to ministry, emphasizing the importance of communication in faith. She discusses how Jesus modeled communication through questions, the power of personal stories in sharing faith, and the church's role in fostering community. Heather also addresses the challenges of navigating online divisions and encourages listeners to embrace uncertainty in their faith journey, ultimately highlighting the need for love and compassion in a polarized world.

  • Navigating online discourse requires discernment and a focus on real-life relationships.
  • Christians are called to be witnesses, not lawyers, in sharing their faith.
  • The Spirit works through individuals to answer prayers and meet needs.
