Walk through God’s word for seven days with the newly-released devotional based on Winsome Conviction. InterVarsity Press teamed up with our co-directors, Tim and Rick, to create a plan that can encourage growth for small groups, churches and individuals.
Have you ever had a conversation become heated and spiral out of control? The key to having a winsome conversation is to understand the nature of our convictions and how to check our impressions of others. In this seven-day reading plan, we’ll explore how to view people graciously, correct negative impressions of others and construct winsome conversations with others.
