Ahoy, inclusional adventurers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welcome to the fourth week of our Christian Life Hacks journey. This week, we’re going to dive headfirst into the world of “Inclusional” living. Now, you might be thinking, “Wait a second, is ‘inclusional’ even a word?” Well, my dear word sleuths, for the sake of our blog series, let’s say it is! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inclusional (adj.)<\/strong>: characterized by an intentional effort to \nwelcome and embrace everyone in order to foster a sense of \nbelonging for all members of a biblical community.<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
James starts off with a zinger in James 2:1:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
My dear brothers and sisters, how can you claim to have faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ if you favor some people over others?<\/p>\nJames 2:1 (NLT)<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
 In simple language: don’t play favorites, folks! We all know how easy it is to gravitate toward certain people (Hello, fellow coffee addicts!). But when we let biases and favoritism take the wheel, we end up drifting away from that wonderful unity of spirit that Jesus is dying to create.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, what can we do to break free from the chains of bias? First, let’s do some soul-searching. Are there certain people or groups we tend to favor or avoid based on appearance, beliefs, or background? It’s time to challenge those biases head-on and embrace the inclusional mindset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next, we can intentionally make an effort to connect with people outside our usual circles. You know, that quiet coworker who always eats lunch alone? Maybe it’s time to break bread together and share your mutual love for obscure 80s music (It’s the best anyway). Or how about the neighbor you’ve barely spoken to in years? Why not strike up a conversation about your shared love-hate relationship with lawn care?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Remember, friends, breaking the bias is about more than just being polite. It’s about actively working towards an inclusional community where everyone feels welcomed, valued, and loved. So, let’s roll up our sleeves and get to work on breaking those biases \u2013 one intentional, love-filled interaction at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In what areas of your life do you need to challenge your biases and be more inclusional?<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
