In this episode of Crossing Faiths, John Pinna speaks with Chad Brignac, an author, consultant, and self-described "transformationist," about applying principles of personal growth and faith to the divisive landscape of American politics. Brignac details his personal journey from workaholism to developing a philosophy of compassionate leadership, deeply rooted in his Christian faith and the model of Jesus's ministry. The conversation centers on Brignac's concept of the "pendulum of politics," a metaphor for the escalating polarization where political extremes gain momentum, driven by divisive rhetoric and a lack of common ground. He critiques modern leaders for their absence of self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and authenticity, which fosters a culture of capitulation instead of genuine consensus, and ultimately advocates for a leadership style that calms the environment, prioritizes serving others, and fosters authentic dialogue to create lasting, positive change.
