Before the Session

Facilitator: In advance of the session

• Review today’s scripture text and the session activities to help better facilitate the discussion.
• Thoroughly review the resource referenced in the Closure section to be able to call the group’s attention to what you believe to be its key parts.
• Have the Bible Background Video ready to view.
• Encourage your group to listen to the Faithelement podcast ahead of the next session (Share the link via email or social media)

Context

Start by telling the group that much of our culture and music is formed around the idea of how the world would be better if we could develop a common vision. It’s almost as if the fact that we are so divided calls us to create art, perhaps as an act of resistance.
