It combines small group sharing and an educational talk. We've made this now a God-honoring event, with sessions drawing upon Biblical wisdom! 💙 Session 3: Why authenticity is so important socially and how to do it more courageously! ------ We plan to have: a short talk, fun relational games, journal prompts, and authentic, guided small-group discussion. You’ll leave with: • New perspectives • Meaningful conversations and real stories • Practical insights you can apply immediately Suggested age: 20s-30s ~Loose Plan~ Hear course introduction ⁘ 5m Journaling ⁘ 5m Hear Main Talk ⁘ 15m Q+A ⁘ 10m Small Group discussion ⁘ 10m Journaling (optional) ⁘ 5m Small Group sharing ⁘ 20m Social hour/feedback ⁘ 5m - end • Surface-level interactions can become draining. My hope is that this group becomes a space for realness and vulnerability! • If you enjoy personal growth/self-help, psychology, communication skills, or relationship science, this is for you! • Some content draws upon Biblical wisdom/Jesus. He is the relationship/connection master! Getting there, parking, etc - Metro: Get off at East falls church on orange + 14m walk - Car: surrounding lot. Eden center preferred. My bio for anyone curious - Michael Lin, PhD, MS Michael Lin earned his PhD in Applied Mathematics from Arizona State University, where he studied how information spreads through social systems. After moving to San Francisco, and feeling a loneliness he hadn’t expected, he began exploring a deeper, more personal question: How do we connect better with others? Since 2023, Michael has been sharing what he’s learned on his YouTube channel, breaking down human connection and offering practical ways to build more meaningful relationships. Today, he speaks on these topics, helping others move from isolation toward genuine connection.
