Michael Wear on THE SPIRIT OF OUR POLITICS: Spiritual Formation and the Renovation of Public Life
Podcast: Talkin‘ Politics & Religion Without Killin‘ Each OtherPublished On: Thu May 30 2024
Description: Can you imagine a better and a healthier politics? If so, what does that look like? And how do we get from here to there? In this conversation, we’re joined by Michael Wear, founder, president, and CEO of the Center for Christianity and Public Life, about the intersection of faith and politics. Michael shares insights from his book, THE SPIRIT OF OUR POLITICS, discussing his personal journey of faith, the role of Christian resources in public life, and the importance of spiritual formation. The discussion also covers Michael's reflections on political sectarianism, the importance of integrating various aspects of one's soul, and the significance of engaging in productive, humble dialogue. We touch on practical antidotes to current political polarization, and how Christians and non-Christians alike can benefit from these insights.
