Jer kicks off the episode with a story about a recent encounter with his own stereotypes at a Guns to Gardens event in Bend, Oregon. This experience led him to question the fables he’s fabricated about “those people.” They wrestle with stereotypes as organized lies that shape the way we see others, and explore how to balance this awareness with genuine caution or wisdom in potentially unsafe situations. The conversation delves into broader themes of confronting stereotypes, the importance of proximity, and the interior transformation needed to see others as beloved. Listen for insights on disarming both physical weapons and the stereotypes that arm our imaginations.02:38 Guns to Garden event context05:15 Becoming a gun decommissioning site10:07 The chopped up SUV16:15 The interior work17:33 How do we discern?21:31 The Man or the Bear24:31 Stereotypes28:53 Practical ideas to get into proximity34:30 announcements and creditsLearn more: globalimmerse.orgSupport our work: globalimmerse.org/donateTurning Over Tables theme music courtesy of The Brilliance www.thebrilliancemusic.com
