  • Questions, Not Answers.

    Have you ever stopped and questioned why you believe what you believe? Could it be because of the way you think? Or could it be because of the way you don’t think when you think? This week we discuss a restorative framework for dealing with difficult situations based on three questions:

    1. What happened?

    2. Who was affected?
    3. What can we do to make things right?
