However, in order to be a people of peaceable resistance, we must receive healing from God who is gentle and compassionate. How do you need to receive God’s healing and peace to sustain you in this time?
This conversation mentions the differences between Asian American communities, whether because of geopolitical realities or differences in U.S. geographical context. How have you experienced these differences? What gifts does your community bring? What Asian American communities are less familiar to you and your community?

The conversation engaged with Christian values that ground our engagement with society. What does it look like for you to be an agent of peace in this time? How can you clarify what you are for rather than what you are against, grounded in your faith?
When have you experienced Asian American Christian communities practicing faithful witness in society? How do you hope to be a part of this work as a part of your current communities?
