There is another virus, more contagious than Covid19. It is called Polarity2020. It attacks the ears first, and then makes our eyes roll whenever someone disagrees with us on politics or religion. Jim Henderson has studied how successful people learn to listen carefully, sit in the room with difference, and not compare their best with others' worst. Jim shares his 3 practices for crossing the difference divide.

Errata: David Augsburger is still alive, and associated with Fuller Theological Seminary, not Wheaton. His quote that Jim Henderson shares in this interview is worth remembering:

“Being heard is so close to being loved that for the average person, they are almost indistinguishable.”

It is from Dr. Augsburger's book, "Caring Enough to Hear and Be Heard."
