Spiritual Reflection and Action

Why not gather a group to watch the episodes, discuss the provided questions or others that will arise, pray together, and plan for action in your community. You can do the whole course in a 3-hour block (with plenty of time for conversation) or space it out over a few weeks. Or, have everyone watch the episodes on their own and then gather in person or even online to discuss, pray, and plan.

If your group has a lot of interest, PRN is able to facilitate an online Q&A with Brenton Diaz. Together,
you will be able to process what this might look like in your context. Contact details are in the resource.
