Listen "Let's Heal Divisions"
Episode Synopsis
Our world is so divided, politically, culturally, and religiously--even among people who claim the same religion as our own. Perhaps a certain sort of growing spirituality can help us not only personally thrive but also help lead the way through this moment to a better future. Join Dave Schmelzer as he looks at thoughts from great spiritual masters and philosophers and, of course, the Bible, about how to find unexpected joy, grace and compassion right when the world around us can seem the most bleak. Mentioned on this podcast: Ken Wilber's book A Brief History of Everything Jeremiah 29:7; Romans 12:14,18; Ephesians 2:14; Matthew 5:22 John Oliver talking with the Dalai Lama
