The Other Human in the Room

156. Holding Space for Difference


Listen Later

Have you ever struggled to stay connected with someone who holds a very different belief from your own? Growing up in evangelical Christianity and being trained in the dogmatic culture of medicine, I've often felt the pull to either convert others to my beliefs or go along with theirs to keep the peace. Despite these challenges, I've been practicing how to stay connected, kind, and loving, even when my beliefs differ sharply from those around me. Join me as I share my reflections and practical tips on holding space for differences without feeling the need to convert others or compromise your own beliefs.
