Learning How to See with Brian McLaren

Loving When We're Not At Our Best with Parker Palmer


Listen Later

How can we see others, and ourselves, with love when anger, fear, depression, or division clouds our vision? 

Today's episode of Learning How to See features an interview with Quaker elder Parker J. Palmer.  Parker helps us explore how love can become a way of seeing, how we can navigate times of depression, and why listening to each other’s life stories may be our best antidote to polarization. Join us as Parker reflects on encounters that reshaped his assumptions about “the other,” sharing insights from decades of Quaker practice.
