Listen in to learn how you can ask the right questions, reach out to build bridges, and listen with your heart to connect effectively with people whose ethnicities and backgrounds differ from yours.

Lori's previous books include Jesus and the Beanstalk and Running from a Crazy Man (and Other Adventures Traveling with Jesus). She also writes a popular blog at www.loriroeleveld.com. Dr. Smith relates the process of writing about race and ethnicity with an author she didn't know well. She explains this co-authoring journey helped inform the content because the book is intended to guide readers in engaging with strangers who differ from them. Dr. Smith discusses the importance of setting ground rules for these potentially difficult conversations. She notes that both parties should feel safe in sharing their feelings. A few other key elements in setting the framework include: Don't take offense quickly. Honor one another's needs to be heard. Consider the best way to love the other person by seeing their heart needs from their perspective. Share your feelings without condemnation. We discuss the art of listening. Saundra notes this is the first of 3 entry points, with the others involving learning and leadership. Dr. Smith emphasizes how leading the way to connection does not require one to be an expert. Saundra discusses how to ask better questions. She addresses the problematic question, "Am I a racist?" The question causes us to end the conversation by checking a quick "no" in the response box instead of inviting deeper investigation. Instead, we should examine our thoughts and behaviors to discover how we can grow and become more inclusive. Colorful Connections includes reflection questions at the end of each chapter. Dr. Smith highlights the need for diversity in churches and organizations as an important topic that all of us have a role in addressing. Saundra clarifies that this issue impacts all ethnicities, so she and Lori invited guest authors from a variety of ethnic backgrounds and experiences to contribute to Colorful Connections. We discuss how Colorful Connections can serve as a group study and list examples of various types of groups that might benefit from engaging in the content and questions. Dr. Smith encourages listeners to introduce the topic of race in ways that prove life-giving in our ongoing and new relationships with those around us. Saundra recommends setting ground rules for your conversations and shares the guidelines she and Lori set in place during the process of co-authoring Colorful Connections. She notes how these discussions should provide an opportunity to go through the conversations as part of the healing journey. We discuss how to have the courage to engage in difficult conversations. Dr. Smith shares how she chose to speak life where there had been so much death. She decided that she couldn't simply wait for someone else to speak or write on the topics she hoped "someone" would speak or write about. For those who struggle to find a starting place, Dr. Smith recommends following radio broadcasts, podcasts, trainings, or social media accounts that share different ethnic perspectives.  We clarify that it is not recommended to single out an individual to serve as your token expert to represent an entire ethnicity. We also discuss the opposite problem of declaring "color blindness" and ignoring a person's ethnicity altogether. Instead, we should remain aware of the person's ethnicity with cultural sensitivity.

In this episode, I am discussing the appropriate responses for Christians in light of our identity as oaks of rightesousness in our communities. According to Lori Stanley Roeleveld in her article on crosswalk.com, "In Isaiah 61:3, The sense of this idea that we will be “oaks of righteousness” is that we will have a sturdy righteousness, able to withstand the tests of time, weather, hardship, and pestilence. We will endure. Our faith will remain evergreen. The roots of our righteousness, found in Jesus Christ, will be expansive, securing us against all storms and we will rise toward the light of Christ as we grow ever closer to our home with Him. The strength of this righteousness stems from the fact that it is a gift to us, it is the righteousness of Jesus Christ. Nothing we do and nothing that comes against us can tarnish or compromise the righteousness that comes from Jesus" (https://www.crosswalk.com/faith/bible-study/what-are-the-oaks-of-righteousness-described-in-isaiah-613.html) --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/i61-exploits/message

Did you grow up in a home where things were kept silent? Did your parents ask you to keep secrets or warn you not to talk about certain family problems outside of the house? In today's Better Together podcast, we're talking about how to stop suffocating in silence and learn how to have hard conversations. Even as Jesus taught that the Truth of the gospel would set us free from eternal condemnation, we also know that speaking God's Truth also frees us from the strongholds of secret sin, generational curses and other dysfunctional behaviors. My guest is Lori Roeleveld, author of the new book, The Art of Hard Converations: Biblical Tools for the Tough Talks that Matter (2019). Today, Lori explains why we struggle to have hard conversations and how to learn how to have them.  I know first hand how secrets are strongholds that can drain the hope of even the strongest families. If you've been sitting in silence and afraid of speaking up for any reason, Lori's words just might be divine timing for you. Here's what we'll cover: Three conversational styles: Turtle, Hawk or Chameleon; Two questions that you need to ask before beginning a hard conversation; How to create a safe culture in your home so that you kids learn how to have healthy hard conversations; How to embrace hard conversations with adult kids and not alienate them.
