Bridging the Gap: Finding Common Ground in a Divided World

Carol, Tricia, and Kelly dive into the importance of unity in today's fractured world. Unity doesn't require complete agreement, but instead, a willingness to reflect Christ’s love and seek common ground with others. From Olympic athletes to personal relationships, Carol, Tricia and Kelly discuss the importance of building bridges, listening well, and being intentional in our walk with God and others.

"We can be unified without agreeing on everything. That’s the beauty of living out our faith—finding Christ in the midst of our differences." -Tricia

1. Unity in Christ, Not Uniformity:
   Unity doesn’t require us to agree on every point of doctrine or belief. Instead, it calls us to find common ground in Christ. Our faith should inspire us to be peacemakers and bridge-builders, reflecting His love in all relationships.
2. Listening as a Spiritual Practice:
   Jesus listened to those around Him, and we are called to do the same. When we take time to truly hear others, we often discover where they’re hurting and how to offer the hope found in Christ. Listening can be a powerful form of ministry.
3. Be Intentional About Relationships:
   God calls us to step out of our comfort zones and engage with people who think differently from us. Building relationships with those who don't share our exact beliefs takes effort, but as Christians, we are called to be the light of the world, showing Christ's love to everyone.
