In this episode, Ken returns to Ephesians 4, this time focusing on verses 2b-3, where Paul offers three more indicators of emotional and spiritual maturity. Ken then describes what often gets in the way - polarization - sharing passages from Ronald Richardson's Polarization and the Healthier Church.

We live in polarizing times in society, and sadly, it has bled into congregations. Polarization is a result of increased anxiety and reactivity in individuals and in the culture at large. Ken shares how Richardson offers a way to understand the process of polarization and what each of us can do to decrease the intensity of polarization in our world and promote healthy change. One thing is certain: we will never end polarization without growing in our emotional maturity.
