March 12, 2023 Who do you say I am? | The Promised King | 2
Pathfinder Church | March 12, 2023 | Dion Garrett
The first-century Israelites were a people mourning the loss of their kingdom. Living under the rule of Rome, they longed for a king of their own to bring them political salvation. Just like people today, they didn’t see Jesus as the answer. What would it look like, and what would it change, if we would live like Jesus is our king?

March 05, 2023 Who do you say I am? | Healthy Conflict is the Only Path to Growth | 1
Pathfinder Church | March 5, 2023 | AJ Mastic
Why does the Bible contain four biographies of Jesus that each tell his story so differently? For some of us, this can introduce doubts about the reliability of scripture. For many of us, this means figuring out how to piece the four narratives together. But what if in doing so, we’re actually missing out on the full picture of Jesus that can only be seen through four separate stories?

February 26, 2023 The Lost Craft of Hard Conversations | Find the Better “Third Way” | 5
Pathfinder Church | February 26, 2023 | Doug Mauss
Too often we let our disagreements get boiled down to a binary: One side is right and the other side is wrong. The stress of conflict makes us rigid and controlling, and extremely difficult to find any sort of win/win outcome. It’s extremely difficult to master “the craft of hard conversations”! Sometimes, is it ok to settle for win/lose?

February 19, 2023 The Lost Craft of Hard Conversations | Go Slow—to Seek Dignity, not Solutions | 4
Pathfinder Church | February 19, 2023 | Dion Garrett
Because disagreement is difficult and painful, our natural tendency is to try to rush for resolution immediately. And the quickest resolution would always be for someone to cave: if other people would just change their mind and agree with us, everything would be fine! Or else, we can quickly dismiss our own needs or convictions in order to keep the peace! Is it possible to slow down enough for both sides to feel heard and valued? How can we avoid rushing to a quick fix that leaves someone getting steamrolled?

February 12, 2023 The Lost Craft of Hard Conversations | Be the Safer Person | 3
Pathfinder Church | February 12, 2023 | AJ Mastic
Relationships are tricky because people can cause us harm. In response to that threat, it’s tempting to withdraw, or lash out, or concede the issue, or try to change the other person for our own benefit. But every one of those choices just creates an adversarial and unsafe relationship for you both. Is there a better way to protect ourselves from others, without avoiding them or controlling them?

February 05, 2023 The Lost Craft of Hard Conversations | Recognize Your Own Wounds | 2
Pathfinder Church | February 5, 2023 | Dion Garrett
People naturally take sides in a conflict based on the externals of the situation. We judge people by their actions or behaviors. And when someone has wronged us, it’s easy to feel blameless in our reaction. After all, they started it! But hidden under the behaviors, our own emotional wounds affect the conflict more than we realize.

January 29, 2023 The Lost Craft of Hard Conversations | Healthy Conflict is the Only Path to Growth | 1
Pathfinder Church | January 29, 2023 | Doug Mauss
Disagreeing with other people is scary. It feels like it costs us peace or connection with others. So we avoid having “crucial conversations,” hoping that it will minimize our pain. Or we lash out in unproductive ways, harming others with our anger. Is there a better way to understand conflict and use it to create better connections with others?

January 22, 2023 The First Domino | Observe Your Ongoing Progress | 4
Pathfinder Church | January 22, 2023 | Doug Mauss
We live in an instant gratification, over-night success society, where only dramatic transformations & grand achievements get noticed. Which is why so many of our attempts to change end up in a wash of broken promises and unfinished projects. But what if instead of focusing on the grandiose, we shifted our attention to the potential of small changes?
