Say Good
Speaking across Hot Topics, Complex Relationships, and Tense Situations
Find your passion. Know your voice. Speak for good.
We know what it means to do good. But in today’s tense and complex world, when topics like political issues, theology, and current events so often divide us, how do we say good? God calls us to speak truth into our communities and relationships, but we all struggle to know when to speak up. We feel intimidated even as we long to engage controversy and division with ease and conviction. How can we know what to say―and when?
In Say Good, Ashlee Eiland helps you discover the power of stewarding your unique voice. You’ll walk into a four-part discernment process―through passion, accountability, influence, and relationship―to understand the spaces, ways, and times where your words are needed. As you do, you’ll find the conviction and confidence to speak up in even the most flammable challenges. This book equips you to find your voice in complex conversations, engage with diverse perspectives and bring about positive change, embrace authenticity and accountability, and foster meaningful relationships.
Say Good is a timely, thought-provoking book that contains practical insights, empowering action steps, and a solid framework for using your voice with purpose and impact. Embark on a transformative journey of honing both your words and your heart―for good.
