A year-long project by More in Common came up with a description of most of America that a lot of us relate to: "the exhausted majority." Everything has become political, high conflict, and seemingly inescapable as the electromagnetic suck of angry politics forces us to be either "us" or "them," when most of us would rather do nothing of the sort. If we have ever needed one, now's the time to chart a path forward that takes the higher ground. And is it even possible that by turning our attention to something else we might — unfathomably — be doing exactly what just might fix the political mess? We'll find out together, with God Squad sherpas leading our way.

Joining us are God Squad regulars Pastor Gary Shultz of First Baptist Church of Tallahassee, Dr. Dan Leshem of Hillel FSU, Betsy Ouellette Zierden, and guest Latricia Scriven of New Life United Methodist Church to guide us through this discussion.

This program is part of the Created Equal and Breathing Free podcast series presented in partnership with Florida Humanities.
