The Reckless Pursuit

120 - Why It's Good to Sit On the Fence


Listen Later

Sometimes it’s good to straddle the fence because from there you can see both sides of the story to try and find unity.
---
The Reckless Pursuit has come under fire on more than one occasion for not choosing sides. We make it our goal to attempt and see different angles of each story. Our desire is for unity and we believe that the only way to achieve that is to understand the heart behind each person beyond their thoughts and indoctrinations.
This week, we are talking about the dangers of collectivism and giving our reason for why it is actually good to straddle the fence. Now sure, there are times you have to take action. One cannot live in the middle all the time, but if more people put forth the effort to understand someone else’s heart desire, we truly believe unity would be closer to our grasp.
This week we talked about:
* Collectivism
* Like-Minded vs Like-Hearted
* Remaining centered despite the circumstances
* Confirmation Bias
* Racism and Seeing differences as threats
* Damage caused by group judgment
* Seeing the God in each person
* Digging past thoughts to find the heart behind each person
* People speaking from a place of hurt
* The difference in having a thought vs having an identity
* Overcoming shame with growth
* There are no bad people, just people who are more hurt than others.
* Seeing the heart in someone’s message
