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.
You can add the plan to your “Bible” app or find it at .
