Ep 1 – “Braver Angels” with David Blankenhorn

Introduction

This week I had the chance to talk with a friend of mine, David Blankenhorn, about his passion for building bridges of understanding and helping people find common ground. You’ll learn about his journey from growing up in Mississippi to the inspiration behind an initiative he co-founded and leads called Braver Angels, a grassroots movement to restore civic trust that seeks to bring Americans together to bridge the growing partisan divide. David served as host of the Braver Angels Convention, held July 5-8, 2023 in Gettsyburg, Pa., where nearly 500 Braver Angels members along with 200 representatives from partner organizations met to launch a national movement to depolarize America. David is the author of In Search of Braver Angels: Getting Along Together in Troubled Times (2022) and has authored or co-edited 14 books.

We Are Spiritual Beings Having a Human Experience

People often tell me, with some commitment and considerable pride, that they are spiritual. That they have moments— on a mountain or at the seashore, or have created spaces in their lives, where they feel a deep connection with the world, each other — and a divine...

The Disruption of Protest

I was profoundly irritated, the intensity of which surprised me. I was watching the semi-final US Open match between Coco Gauff and Karolina Muchova. I was relaxed and enjoying their skill and passion, and silently hoping that some of the former might rub off on...

The Problem of Evil

Evil is a problem. And for millenia, philosophers, theologians and novelists have grappled with this problem: what is evil, how did it start, why does it exist, how do we respond? It has been, and continues to be, a confounding intellectual and emotional challenge....

Woke and Born Again: Problematic Bookends

In 2009 journalist Bill Bishop wrote a compelling book, The Big Sort: Why the Clustering of Like-Minded America is Tearing us Apart. Bishop makes the case that over the past several decades people have been living, working, worshipping and vacationing in places...

Free Speech and Killer Statements

“No killer statements”, we agreed would be the first rule we would follow in our time together on a retreat with a group of teenagers and a few adult chaperones. A killer statement was anything that was said that demeaned, dismissed, or denied someone else. Our...

The Challenge of Living into Adaptive Challenge

“Don’t fix it if it ain’t broke,” Office of Management and Budget Director Bert Lance said at a Congressional hearing in 1977. I don’t remember what the hearing was about, but along with millions of others, I easily recall the phrase. Most of us don’t refer to it...

Ep 3 – “Melodies of Reconciliation” with John Wood Jr.

John Wood Jr. joins to discuss his “unorthodox path to Christianity” and his pathway to working as the National Ambassador at Braver Angels

The Journey to Truth

“What is truth?” Pilate asks Jesus. (John 18:38) I think Pilate really wanted to know. At that time and place, truth was in short supply. The world Pilate lived in, and had authority over, was in constant tension. The higher-ups in Rome didn’t care what Pilate...

Challenging Congressional Legislation and the Importance of Lament

“It’s putting purity over progress”, one commentator wrote in response to the Congressional Freedom Caucus’ amendments to the Defense Appropriation Bill. While the legislation barely cleared the House, analysts have uniformly predicted that the add-ons have no chance...

A Movement Created in Gettysburg

“You are the largest volunteer organization in the world,” Jonathan Sacks remarked to an audience of 1000 at the conference of Anglican bishops in 2008, held in Canterbury England. “You have to stay together for the sake of the rest of us”, he pleaded,...
