Show Notes

Dr. Michael McGee returns this week for an episode more focused on our fractured politics - how they’re expressed in our warring political parties, and how they affect our personal relationships. We try to recognize the ways in which our current political moment is damaged and dysfunctional. We acknowledge that finding common ground or “points of agreement” is necessary for conversations across the spectrum to be productive. Before we begin to mend the individual, communal, national and global fractures, we must first begin the discourse in good faith.
