In part two of our conversation with Rev. Dr. Teri McDowell Ott we talk about about how to have hard conversations, we ask questions like: 

How can the church be better at having hard conversations? 

What is the role of privilege in these conversations? 

What is the difference between peacekeeping  and peacemaking?

What if conversations don’t go well? 

Is there a magic formula that will ensure these conversations go well?

How do we overcome the fear of having these conversations?

Here are the books we reference in the episode!
