Seems like every week life finds new ways to surprise us, and there has been a string of things lately. An attempt on Donald Trump’s life, Joe Biden stepping out of the presidential race, and now everyone being upset over the opening ceremony of the Olympics due to some misunderstandings and projections. It’s always something. Always something that has people clutching their pearls, horrified and disgusted. And often it leads us to scapegoating and othering. All of these things swirl together in todays talk. Jay uses passages from Matthew and Luke to discuss an idea we talk about pretty often here at Revolution—arguing and disagreeing well. Having tough conversations. But in todays talk Jay takes a different approach and wonders if even though we believe in disagreeing well, maybe some disagreements aren’t worth having. Some tough conversations aren’t worth the effort. When do we know when to just drop it and walk away, knowing our efforts will not accomplish anything, that we’re spinning our wheels. When is it okay to call it quits on trying to have these discussions and cut our loses? We believe in arguing well, but we need to do it wisely. When our words fall on deaf ears, we need to find another way. There is nuance in everything, including our daily interactions. When is a disagreement worth having, and when is it just throwing pearls before swine?

This talk was given on July 28, 2024 from Seattle, Washington.
