Understanding Privilege:

How This Leads to Subversive Witness

__________________________________

Instead of denying that privilege exists, sidestepping the topic, or feeling overwhelmed by its weight, the gospel demonstrates how we should deal with privilege. Scripture affirms that privilege is real and declares that while we have the option to exploit it for selfish gain or passively benefit from it, we are called to soberly acknowledge and faithfully steward it. Missionally, we are commissioned to leverage privilege to further the kingdom and love our neighbor.

In this webinar, Dominique DuBois Gilliard will guide us in how we do this by looking carefully at privileged biblical characters who used what God entrusted to them to bear a subversive witness.

This webinar is for anyone who has ever felt confounded by privilege or has found themselves lamenting how it hamstrings the church’s witness. This session will address the impact of unbridled privilege but will then move toward exploring the generative potential of privilege when it is properly understood and faithfully stewarded.

Come learn how privilege can become a subversive tool leveraged to engender social transformation and deeper kingdom participation.
