Our Time to Rise in Midlife

Ep.473: Bridge Building: Getting Along Even When We Disagree with Lindsey Medenwaldt


Listen Later

Continuing our "Election Ready" series, we are talking today about the importance of bridge building and having conversations around faith and politics - especially during an election year. If this idea seems impossible to you, it's even more important to listen in on our discussion.

Joining us is Lindsey Medenwaldt. Lindsey is the Director of Operations at Mama Bear Apologetics, holds a masters in apologetics from Denver Seminary, a JD from St. Mary's School of Law, and another master's degree in public administration. Her varied background gives her a unique lens for political conversations.

In this episode we talk about why it's important for Christians to articulate their beliefs and engage in conversations with gentleness and respect. We also highlight the importance of keeping the gospel as the anchor, and focusing on Christ amidst political disagreements.

Lindsey shares insights on bridge building, including the importance of truth and genuine friendship. But we don't just talk about these ideas, we also offer practical tips for navigating challenging political conversations.

In the heat of this election season, you'll be so glad you turned in!
