    Title ShortHope Bearers
    Venue Writers Workshop
    Experience DescriptionOur world gives us plenty of reasons to feel anxious—climate change, political unrest, even divisions within the church. And yet, Jesus repeatedly tells his followers, “Do not be afraid.” Instead, he calls us to live as people of peace, love, and joy. What does it look like to be hope-bearers in an anxious world? In this session, we’ll explore our unique callings as writers and creators, consider how to lean faithfully into the suffering around us, and challenge one another to shine light into the darkness.
