Workshops for groups

Biblical grounding. 
Practical equipping.
We dig deep. We all bring our backgrounds, our ideas, our questions - and we learn and discuss together. We come to do the work - and it’s a blast.
For most, it is the first time being equipped for the practical work of justice in a faith-oriented setting.
A sample workshop series:
Week 1 | Justice + injustice
Week 2 | The work of justice
Week 3 | Confronting injustice
Week 4 | Repair after injustice
These workshops are for people who already believe justice matters and are ready to learn how to understand, prevent, and confront injustice in their everyday lives.

I have led trainings with groups in many different countries and settings.

I would love to train your group on God’s design of justice, understanding + preventing injustice, and practicals of doing justice.

Reach out and we can talk through options and particulars.

These workshops work.

"I feel much more equipped with tools to see and identify injustice, along with steps I can walk through to help identify it, name it, address it.

This is so empowering because it gives me a starting place to address the issues I’ve cared about for a long time."

"I learned that injustice and justice can take many different forms - and we need to be very intentional and thoughtful about addressing injustices in their own ‘mode’ so that the change we seek to create is sustained, impactful, and doesn't do more damage along the way."

"I was challenged to think much more deeply about injustice from a biblical perspective. I honestly had no idea that the Bible had so much to say about justice and injustice.

I used to see justice as an 'extra' in the Christian faith. This helped me see how integral it is to our calling."

Why is this equipping needed?

Churches are getting caught flat-footed

Scandal after scandal has plagued churches that were caught flat footed by situations and allegations of abuse and injustice. We often see churches compound the damage of the injustice - they often downplay the seriousness or do not know how to address situations appropriately.

Even churches that say they are committed to justice work are often perceived as hypocritical institutions that are “all talk.” Churches must lead by example by becoming just organizations themselves.

Christians want to be resourced for justice work

Christian leaders often haven’t been trained how to effectively equip their congregants for the work of justice. Far too many congregants aren’t prepared to address the injustices they encounter in their workplaces, families, and communities every day. People are going elsewhere to be resourced for action, depth, perseverance, and faith.

Rather than churches just critiquing secular frameworks, people want to have a biblical framework for wading through modern-day justice-related controversies and then taking effective action.

Churches are important arenas for equipping

Your church can become a space that is prepared to identify and address injustices that come up within the church AND ready to resource people for the work of justice in their workplaces, families, classrooms, and communities.

I work with individual churches as well as networks, pastor groups, or denominations. Pastors don’t have to fly blind when it comes to addressing justice issues from a biblical perspective and equipping their people to answer God’s call to do justice.
