This week, Chris and Jaimie reflect on the documentary Won't You Be My Neighbor.  Chris and Jaimie were impressed by the intentional, positive messaging layered into the program.  Fred Rogers used Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood to spread of message of love. He was willing to have tough conversations and express emotions.  As we discuss our foundations and maintaining gravity in a crazy world, Mr. Rogers consistently demonstrated how to respect opposing views without compromising your foundations.

This week, Chris is joined by long-time Whitworth University professor Dr. Jerry Sittser.

He has written nine books, among them A Grace Disguised, The Will of God as a Way of Life, and Water from a Deep Well. Brazos Press just published his latest book, Resilient Faith: How the Early Christian “Third Way” Changed the World, which explores how the early Christian movement developed such a clear and unique identity in the ancient world and, against all odds, grew into a formidable force long before Christianity became a legally recognized religion. 

He enjoys music, literature, gardening, hiking, woodworking, and he attends the Oregon Shakespeare Festival every year. Married to Patricia since 2010, he has three married children, two married step-children, and eight grandchildren.
