info_outlineDifferences of opinion have always been part of life. It’s not new to agree and disagree about politics, social issues, religion, current events, and even sports. But when we did disagree, it didn’t used to cause a break-up between family and friends.
Nowadays, we live in an argument culture that has led to nearly one-third of people reporting they have stopped talking to a friend or family member due to a disagreement. Plus, nearly two-thirds of people say they stay quiet about their beliefs because they’re afraid of offending others or getting beat up online.
Well today’s guest, Sean McDowell, wants to help you end this stalemate. Christians are called to be God’s ambassadors, which means we need to engage in a sincere and loving way with those around us—especially those with different perspectives.
So, let’s revive the art of meaningful conversations and cancel this cancel culture!
