How to recruit your friends
Interested in hosting your own group? Some thoughts on how to recruit your friends:
Start with all of the information above! In addition, one of the easiest ways to pitch The After Party course to friends and your community is to have a solid list of why people might be interested in taking the course and quick descriptions of what the course is – and is not. Consider sharing some or all of the below with your friends:
Why would someone want to sign up for The After Party?
- I’m really sad about the relationships that have been broken as a result of politics.
- I feel like I’m the only one who doesn’t like the way things are.
- I’m not sure what the Bible says about how we should engage in politics?!
- I’m just exhausted.
- When I think about November, I feel really scared.
- Are my politics supposed to be more important than my identity as a Christian?
- I’m really not sure how faith & politics should (or shouldn’t?) mix…
- I read all true Christians are voting for X. Is this true?
- It’s hard to be friends with someone who doesn’t agree with me. But I think I want to…
- I’d love for my kids to have a better experience with politics than I’ve had. Is it possible?
What it is…
- A guide to political discipleship
- A way to form community
- An educational course about political polarization
- A course for anyone from high school to retirement
What it isn’t…
- A guide on how to vote
- An endorsement of a particular party, policy, or candidate
- A Bible study
- Only for Republicans. Or Democrats. Or people who all agree.
