In this episode, Terry Crist and I have a great conversation and tell a lot of stories of engaging others in a way that brings dignity, relationship, curiosity, and hope. How can we love our enemies? How can we follow the better way of Jesus that brings hope? How can we in our fractured world have conversations of truth full of grace, seasoned with compassion? How do we pursue the way of peacemaking? How do we build bridges, not barriers? How do we have curious conversations with people? We learn that our gospel is embodied and proclaimed. We learn that listening is an act of love. Join us as we discover how to listen well, engage others who are more alike us than we realize, and point us all to the way of Jesus that brings hope, reconciliation, and peace.
