Episode 33 Navigating Friendship and Politics

Deep friendships are often marked by common interests and sometimes common passions, such as faith or politics. But what happens when you and that friend you adore just don’t see eye to eye? As Christians, we are called to live in peace, unity, and love. But in this political climate, it feels like that is getting harder and harder to do. Whether inside the church or out, people are passionate about their differing beliefs. There seem to be no gray areas anymore just black or white, your way or my way, holy or unholy. We are here today talk about how you can navigate friendships and politics, especially when you disagree. Mentioned in the Show: “Tolerance isn't about not having beliefs. It's about how your beliefs lead you to treat people who disagree with you.” ― Timothy J. Keller Books: Bush at War by Bob Woodward Columbine by Dave Cullen Speak: How Your Story Can Change the World by Nish Weiseth Posts: What To Do When You Can’t Agree With the People You Love by Jennifer Dukes Lee President Trump's Refugee Order: 5 Things to Know by Preemptive Love
