Workshop Descriptions
The Boredom Epidemic and the Need for Tolerance
with Dr. Elizabeth Smith and Dr. Andrew Beaty, brought to you by Moody Online
There is a boredom epidemic in our world that most do not tolerate. It produces stress, distractions, and challenges that affect how people learn, grow, and connect with God and others. Discover simple, practical strategies to help your ministry and family create places where these issues are confronted, and people feel safe, stay engaged, and are ready to receive truth, ultimately building stronger relationships and lasting faith.
