He's a 45-year pastor, national award-winning magazine editor and author of 24 books. In this podcast he puts all that experience and communication skill together with one goal: helping good people become better.
At the Intersection with Doug Newton
How To Bridge the Ism Schism of Nationalism
There are deep divides in America over how we should view our country. The 1619 Project, modern day injustice, racial inequality, government corruption and cover-ups all combine to create a chasm between people. One side accuses the other of nationalism because they still want to see America as great. Those folks retaliate with accusations of “anarchists” or “ingrates.” Face it. Back and forth volleys do nothing but foment more and more friction and factions. In this episode I will explore an important bridge-building step that can lead to peacemaking. It requires working on our character. Are you willing?
In the podcast I refer to a follow-up free resource (CROSSWALK) for further reflection and character training modules on the development of the traits of respect, humility and generosity. Here are both of those link as well as a couple others:
