Imagine for a moment what the world might look like if we as people of faith, morality, and conscience aspired to this mantra.

What if we invited one another to share in wide-open, fearless, spiritual communities truly marked by compassion and interdependence?In If God Is Love, Don’t Be a Jerk, John Pavlovitz examines the bedrock ideas of our religion: the existence of hell, the utility of prayer, the way we treat LGBTQ people, the value of anger, and other doctrines to help all of us take a good, honest look at how the beliI have had the pleasure of talking to some of the leading authors, artists, activists, and change-makers of our time on this podcast, and I want to personally thank you for subscribing, listening, and sharing 100-plus episodes over 100,000 times.Please subscribe to this Podcast, In Conversation… with Frank Schaeffer, on your favorite platform, and to my Substack, It Has to Be Said.  Thanks!

Frank Schaeffer In Conversation with Ambassador Matthew Barzun exploring his new book, The Power of Giving Away Power._____LINKSMatthewBarzun.comDownload a Free Excerpt_____Matthew Barzun has always been fascinated about how we can stand out and fit in at the same time. He helped countries do both when he served as US Ambassador to the United Kingdom and to Sweden. He helped citizens do both as National Finance Chair for Barack Obama by pioneering new ways for people to have a stronger voice in politics. And he helped tech consumers do both as an entrepreneur when he helped start CNET Networks in the early 90’s. Barzun was raised on the East Coast, started his career on the West Coast, and settled in the middle in Louisville, Kentucky with his wife, Brooke, and their three children.Give away power. In eras when distrust is high, hierarchies of power are usually suspect. Leaders earn trust by spreading authority through the ranks. In his book “The Power of Giving Away Power,” Matthew Barzun contrasts pyramid hierarchical structures with constellation structures in which power is dispersed. Pyramid structures encourage a competitive win-lose mind-set, he writes, while constellation structures encourage cooperation.–David Brooks • New York Times • Jun 11, 2021I have had the pleasure of talking to some of the leading authors, artists, activists, and change-makers of our time on this podcast, and I want to personally thank you for subscribing, listening, and sharing 100-plus episodes over 100,000 times.Please subscribe to this Podcast, In Conversation… with Frank Schaeffer, on your favorite platform, and to my Substack, It Has to Be Said.  Thanks!

Frank Schaeffer In Conversation with Richard Forer, Author of Wake Up and Reclaim Your Humanity: Essays on the Tragedy of Israel-Palestine_____LINKSFollow Richard on Facebook.Learn more at https://richardforer.com._____Richard Forer was brought up in Trenton, NJ in the 1950s and 60s. His identical twin brother is a prominent member of an Orthodox sect of Judaism. Another brother is a past president of one of the largest Reform Synagogues on the East Coast. Other members of his family live in Jewish settlements in the West Bank.Certain the Arab world would not rest until Israel was wiped from the face of the earth, Forer, a former member of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), supported Israel’s 2006 invasion of Lebanon. However, the anger and anxiety he felt compelled him to begin a process of self-discovery in which he realized that he had been demonizing Palestinians and Arabs, the so-called enemy, for an entire lifetime. He recognized that he had taken for granted unexamined beliefs that are common within Jewish and American society, and that in doing so, he had been contributing to a ceaseless struggle that has brought death and destruction to Palestinians and Israelis alike and has been the focal point for Arab anger toward the West. Through extensive research, based primarily on the most foundational resources available (the Israeli State, Central Zionist, IDF, and David Ben-Gurion archives, etc.), he discovered that much of what he had believed was inaccurate.
