On this episode: Aaron is preparing people for unfamiliar conversations with curiosity. And it’s a hot Thursday in August for Nate. This week, Nate and Aaron talk to Lisa Sharon Harper. Lisa is the founder and president of Freedom Road, a consultant group. She is also a theologian, activist, speaker, podcaster, author, college faculty, and trainer. Lisa helps us understand different perspectives, with illustrations from the show Roots, Plato, and Genesis One. She leads us to consider where we find our ID in our Christianity and politics, and which is first. Lisa also gives a fascinating history of flip flopping politics in the United States. And a final consideration that you don’t have to join a political party to be on “God’s side”. Other topics include the exclusion of James, 500 crucifixions per day during Jesus’s time, dehumanization, race division laws, and more.Links:
