Talking About Hard Subjects: if we're going to change the situation regarding sex trafficking in Altanta we need a new way to talk as people of faith

Emergent Cohort member, Will Cordis, is helping us with this month's conversation. We will be meeting, as usual, the last Tuesday of the month (feb 26) from 8-10pm ...
CORRECTION: WE WILL MEET AT TILT IN CASTLEBERRY HILLS
Here's Will's intro:
Think back for a moment to a time you tried to influence someone who resisted your efforts. How did it go? What adjectives would you use to describe the conversation? What, if any, effect did it have on your relationship? Do you think you made an impact? If you've been to a cohort meeting before how would you compare the that conversation with the kind you've experience at cohort meetings?
Last month we we began orbiting around the large issue of human sex trafficking in atlanta. This month we'll dive into a crucial subject of how to have meaningful conversations with Others about sch matters in ways that have real impact. Have we learned anything from our cohort conversations that can help us? What might we have to learn or unlearn in order to make a difference on this and other issues we are passionate about?

I could not download the second mp3 file (Finding Our God in the Other) but I was able to find it on the Emergent Village podcast page:
