In this episode, John Maxwell Zooms with Miles McPherson, pastor of the Rock Church in San Diego, California, and author of The Third Option: Hope for a Racially Divided Nation. They discuss the importance of celebrating what different races have in common, the often-overlooked paradox of being "colorblind" to race, and the value of confronting our own blind spots.

Mark Cole is joined by Traci Morrow for the application portion of the episode to discuss John and Miles's conversation. They each share how maintaining a learning posture has challenged and changed their own perspectives.
