David Bridges - "Why Longevity Matters"

In a world accustomed to conflict, Mending Divides offers a refreshing counterpoint. Hosted by Dr. Jer Swigart, this Global Immersion podcast dives deep into the conflicts we’re all dealing with in conversation with those who think deeply about them.

This is not a prescriptive conversation about how to build peace. Instead, Mending Divides features the human beings behind the work. It's a portal into their stories, analyses, and practices. As we encounter the myriad ways they understand and navigate their conflicts, we’ll discover who we must become to face our own.

Expect honest, unfiltered conversations that: 
- Challenge your assumptions: Discover diverse and often unexpected paths to peace.
- Illuminate new perspectives: Understand the roles that religion, culture, and biology play in shaping the complexities of conflict and our approaches to it.
- Offer hope: Hear stories of resilience, creativity, and bravery that will inspire us to live likewise.

Join us as we explore the many faces and facets of conflict and peace. Learn more at globalimmerse.org or follow along on Instagram @globalimmerse and wherever you get your podcasts.
