"This is a great test for the how being as necessary as the what of politics," he says. "I imagine we're going to be, you know, on different potentially different sides of this that it's probably helpful to start with a like, what's our story? What's our story with guns in particular?" He adds: "What at least one way to moderate the us versus them instinct that is so strong is to actually understand the human story ... We may not end up completely polar opposites."
This week, Curtis kicks off a two parter on the tough subject of guns in America. Part 1 is a Good Faith Classic where Curtis and David explored the tensions between gun culture and gun control in our hyper-polarized environment. They help us take a step back to think through the “how” of approaching such a complex issue versus just the “what” of our preferred policy outcome. Stay tuned for next week’s Part 2 episode where Good Faith explores what a Christian response to gun violence could look like.
