Jemar and Tyler are back! “Could you all do an episode giving practical ways to love people we disagree with (particularly other Christians)? I've really struggled since the 2016 election to love and want to be in fellowship with Christians who voted for and continue to support Trump's administration.” Jemar and Tyler field a question from one of our Patreon subscribers about loving people who are hard to love.
