Group Leader Resources

Welcome to the Living & Working UNDIVIDED Family!

A conversation has the power to become a movement. The swell of that energy has the power to heal the racial divide. LivingUNDIVIDED is a movement bound together by faith and our shared humanity. 

Our goal is to move the conversation about race from an intensely heated or shamefully hushed topic, to an environment where what people say and feel is doused in grace and becomes a catalyst for the kind of growth that can heal the racial divide. 

We are grateful to have you with us as we all continue this journey. You are fully equipped to lead and provide courageous love to all you encounter. We can’t make promises about what this journey will be like for you but we do know that obedience to God leads to fruit and abundance every time. 

All of this would only be a dream without you. Your obedience to God, courage, hope for healing, and leadership is the fuel behind our momentum. Thank you. 

We are so glad you are here.
