Amplify Peace: Creating a Better Story Together
We want to meet and engage the innovators, the doers, and the rebels who are stepping into the breeches of our day. Who are those who are making our world a more loving and compassionate place? Who are the those who are building peace and connections in a horribly divided land? And who are those who are lifting up culture with Kingdom values to promote human flourishing? Let’s have some fun and challenging conversations to help us to think, grow and walk courageously down the narrow road.

What if the real force shaping your faith isn’t love… but shame?

What if the simple act of building friendships that dissolve fear could be the force that changes our future? Religion has long carried a double edge - capable of inspiring love and compassion, yet also fueling division, oppression, and mistrust. In today’s world, those tensions remain. But what if there’s another way forward?
Micah Fries – Multi Faith Neighbors Network
Religion has shaped history’s greatest acts of compassion and its most devastating conflicts. In the name of religion, too many wars have been fought, injustices carried out, and neighbors turned into enemies.
But what if it doesn’t have to be this way?
