Hold Space for It

Learn to Have Challenging Conversations with LOVE

We say we're called to lead with love. But what happens when a conversation makes us uncomfortable, challenges what we believe, activates our insecurities, or catches us completely off guard?

As we enter a season of family gatherings, church activities, and community celebrations, opportunities for connection are everywhere. So are opportunities for conversations that aren't always easy.

Hold Space for It is a free, interactive virtual workshop for clergy, pastors, and ministry leaders who want to move from avoiding challenging conversations to engaging them with greater confidence, curiosity, and care.

Through the LOVE Framework (Listen, Observe, Validate, Engage), you'll explore practical skills drawn from active listening, elicitive questioning, Nonviolent Communication, and intentional pausing to help you navigate conversations about intimacy, identity, faith, relationships, and difference.

What you'll learn:

• How to recognize assumptions, avoidance, and moments of activation.

• How to listen with curiosity, observe with awareness, and validate experiences without requiring agreement.

• How to respond with intention, communicate needs and boundaries, and stay engaged when conversations become difficult.
