Our Time to Rise in Midlife

Ep.474: The Power of Loving Our Neighbors in Election Season with Alexandra Kuykendall


Listen Later

The final episode in our ELECTION READY series, today Krista Gilbert is interviewing Alexandra Kuykendall about how we love our neighbor in the midst of an election season.

Seeking out goodness when life is great is easy, but when we have political disagreements or challenges that come our way, this is when it becomes really hard. In today's episode, Alex explores how to maintain a positive outlook, the role of prayer, and the significance of self-awareness and emotional regulation.

She also emphasizes the need for intentionality in finding goodness in others and the importance of loving neighbors, regardless of political differences.

We can feel so helpless when it comes to election season. This is one thing we can control: focusing on God's goodness and drawing close to others as a result. Listen in and be encouraged!

QUESTION TO HELP YOU RISE
