In this episode of the Hope + Help Podcast, Christine Chappell interviews Tim Shorey about his book Respect the Image: Reflecting Human Worth in How we Talk and Listen. Some of the questions addressed in this interview are:

• Why does how we define "humanness" ultimately decide the quality of our relationships and conversations with others?

• What are some fundamental theological truths that helpfully inform the way we listen and talk to others?

• How can believers in Christ become more mindful of their engagement on social media?

• What are some practical biblical suggestions that can help guide our conversations during disagreements/conflict?

• How do the Scriptures inform the way we approach the "Who" and "When" of peacemaking and reconciliation?

• How does the gospel of Jesus Christ keep us from falling into despair because of communication frustrations?

• What encouragements from the Scriptures can be given to someone who desires to grow in their ability to converse respectfully, but feels discouraged about their progress?
