388 | How to Disagree Without Being a Jerk with Gavin Ortlund


Listen Later

In this episode of MercyTalk, we’re excited to have author and theologian Gavin Ortlund with us to have a conversation based on his upcoming book, The Art of Disagreeing. It’s hard to deny that the temperature has dramatically risen in our culture when it comes to politics, religion, culture wars, etc. As Gavin points out in his book, we seem to have lost the ability to disagree well, and as followers of Jesus, we are called to rise above “the rancor and ‘cancel culture’ tactics of the world around us.”

Also, in this episode…

  • How to stay self-aware when engaging in disagreements with others
  • The two virtues that lay a foundation for healthy disagreement: kindness and courage
  • The important roles of both listening and persuasion
  •
