Grab Pastor Brian Davies' new book! • Pastor Brian Davies introduces his book "Captivating Conversations: How Christians Can Reclaim the Lost Art of Listening" • Jesus modeled asking questions rather than simply giving answers, demonstrating that transformation happens through invitation, not instruction • The "OCI" approach—being Open, Curious, and Inquisitive—creates space for genuine dialogue and relationship • Leadership should mirror Christ's approach of "leading through" rather than "leading over" people • Asking good questions helps us understand the stories behind people's positions and creates bridges for meaningful conversation • When Christians focus more on ecclesiology than mission, we lose perspective on what matters most • Our posture toward fellow believers should prioritize unity in mission over critiquing differences in practice The Best Pizza Franchise Opportunity Anthony & Luca's Pizza Kitchen is the hottest new Cheesesteak & NY Pizza Franchise.
