Jesus, whether you are a Christian or not, is well-known for saying and doing things that people around Him did not understand. John 4:1-41 has quite a few moments like that. We will look at this text together in community specifically thinking about the emotional and social context of all those involved as well as what emotions the text invokes for us in our current social and political moment. The application of this reality is essential for serving women and BIPOC students especially those of the Black diaspora.

We believe that God speaks through His Word and we can hear from Him. Studying scripture in community and responding individually and corporately is a sign of spiritual growth and maturity. We also believe that our emotional maturity and our spiritual maturity are inextricably linked. So, our growth in emotional awareness and intelligence is essential to our growth as a follower of Jesus.

So, join us on October 5 at 12pm for an emotionally aware, institutionally engaged time with scripture because God still speaks and we are ready to hear from Him.

*NOTE* This workshop is FREE and we are centering the needs of Black InterVarsity staff, students and those ministry leaders serving the Black Diaspora . It is sponsored by InterVarsity’s Black Campus Ministry.
