DESCRIPTION:Some conversations feel complicated—but avoiding them doesn
 ’t make them go away.\nJoin us for another round of The Elephant in the 
 Room\, a four-week Community Night series where we lean into the topics ev
 eryone’s thinking about… but not always talking about. Together\, we
 ’ll create space for honest dialogue rooted in Scripture—where truth i
 s clear\, grace is present\, and no question is off the table.\nWeek 1: So
 cial Media &amp\; the Soul\nWe’re more connected than ever—and yet\, m
 ore distracted\, anxious\, and divided. How is social media shaping us spi
 ritually? Is it forming us more than Jesus is? We’ll explore how to enga
 ge digital spaces without losing our identity\, our peace\, or our witness
 .\nWeek 2: Politics &amp\; the Kingdom of God\nIn a culture obsessed with 
 power and partisanship\, where does our allegiance truly lie? We’ll talk
  about how Christians can think biblically about politics without losing s
 ight of the gospel—or each other. How do we live as citizens of heaven i
 n the middle of earthly tension?\nWeek 3: Gender &amp\; Sexuality\nFew top
 ics are as personal—or as polarizing. How do we hold to biblical truth w
 hile embodying the compassion of Christ? We’ll approach this conversatio
 n with humility\, clarity\, and a desire to understand what it means to be
  both faithful and loving in today’s cultural moment.\nWeek 4: Islam &am
 p\; the Gospel\nWith the war raging in the Middle East\, there are growing
  conversations around the Islamic faith. Many Christians aren’t sure how
  to think about it. What do Muslims actually believe? Where are the differ
 ences—and how do we engage with both conviction and compassion? We’ll 
 explore how to be a faithful witness in a complex world.\nThese aren’t l
 ectures. They’re conversations. Come ready to listen\, ask questions\, a
 nd grow together.\nPlease register in advance so we know how many to prepa
 re for.
