Back to EpisodesHow Do We Live in Peace When We Disagree? Grace, Forgiveness & Healing in a Divided World
Description
In this solo episode I share what has been heavy on my heart following the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the divisive reactions I saw flooding social media. I talk about the question I keep coming back to, which is how we as a human family are ever going to live in peace with all of our differences. I share my thoughts on grace, forgiveness, the natural man, trauma, and why I believe the real work of creating more peace in the world has to start on the inside. This one got emotional for me, and I think it will for you too.
