“I Think You’re Wrong (But I’m Listening)” Book Study this February

In support of the Congregation Council’s 2025 Mission Case Statement and our 2025 Adaptive Question:

How is God guiding us, New Journey Lutheran Church, to navigate tension and polarization in our communities without being co-opted into bitter division, but to build a more trustworthy and loving society?

The Christian Education team invites you to participate in an “all church read” of the book, I Think You’re Wrong (But I’m Listening): A Guide to Grace-Filled Political Conversations authored by Sarah Stewart Holland and Beth A. Silvers and join us for discussion on the book’s content and learnings from a faith perspective.

Join us for two planned conversations on this book:

• PART ONE: Wednesday, February 19 at 10:00 am in the fellowship space

• PART TWO: Wednesday, February 26 at 10:00 am in the fellowship space

Back Cover Summary:

More than ever, politics seem to be driven by discord. People sitting together in pews every Sunday feel like strangers and loved ones at the dinner table feel like enemies. Toxic political dialogue, hate-filled rants on social media, and agenda-driven news stories have become the new norm. But it doesn't have to be this way.

In I Think You're Wrong (But I'm Listening), two working moms from opposite ends of the political spectrum teach us that politics don't have to divide us. Instead, we can bring the same care and respect to policy discussions that we bring to the rest of our lives.
