Christlike Dialogue

A nonprofit organization

$1,950 raised by 8 donors

There is a great need for people to communicate with civility by replacing gossip, quarreling, and argumentative monologues with Christlike dialogue.

Imagine a society that:

  •  Elevates relationships over our desire to be “right” and get our way.
  • Where conversations conclude with people feeling respected and heard.
  • Where people are known to be talked with rather than talked at.
  • Where kindness and compassion are extended, without compromising truth.
  • Where gossip, quarreling, and argumentative monologues are replaced with honest conversation.
  • Social media would not be marked by unfiltered and unkind opinions expressed in anger.
  • People would deepen relationships with one another as we become other-minded listeners.
  • Intact relationships would be protected.
  • Broken relationships would be restored.
  • There would be a greater number of healthy marriages.
  • Unity would be more prevalent than division.
  • People would experience greater peace.

By teaching biblical principles as modeled by Jesus Christ's dialogues throughout Scripture, people are taught to engage in Christlike conversations with others. Anxiety is reduced. Honest conversation takes place in a respectful environment. Relationships are enhanced, restored and strengthened.

Through seminars, publications, and our online presence Christlike Dialogue has helped thousands of people to have edifying and transformational conversations.

Mission

Prepare people with opposing views to engage in conversation that is honoring to God.

Background Statement

Since 1993, the ministry of Christlike Dialogue has been teaching biblical principles to prepare people with opposing views to engage in conversations that are honoring to God.

We are a small faith-based ministry that God has used to touch thousands of lives. Our revenue comes from individual contributors like yourself. For the past 32 years our annual revenue has been between $35,000 to $75000. We are blessed to have the opportunity to participate in the Colorado Gives Campaign for the first time this year. The goal is to reach new advocates to raise the additional $35,000 needed to meet this coming year’s $75,000 budget to sustain our online presence (reaching an average of 1700 people each month). Above and beyond that would allow us to reach more people.

God has used our ministry to reconcile relationships between husbands and wives, to bring Black Americans and White Americans, Muslims and Christians, Republicans and Democrats together to engage in conversations that are honoring to God. We have equipped parents to engage in God-honoring conversation with their children, prepared employees and fellow employees or employers to communicate with civility in the workplace, and more.

We have provided training and resources for educators and students, attorneys and law students, church leaders and laity, husbands and wives, and people with opposing views on race, religion, politics, and more.
